520 _a"Bill Culbert is one of New Zealand's most celebrated artists. This first substantial monograph on Culbert's work explores the ideas, materials and conditions that have formed his art over the past 50 years. Culbert grew up in Port Chalmers and Wellington, but moved to the United Kingdom in 1957. Since 1961 he has lived largely in Provence and in London (though he exhibits regularly in New Zealand during the oyster season). Culbert's art has always kept ideas - about light, energy, social space, perspective, politics - on the move. They infuse his gently paradoxical photographs, his wall-mounted sculptures made of cool white fluorescent tubes and coloured plastic containers, his installations of cast-off objects, his battered suitcases, wation. heels, light bulbs, bottles and wine glasses pouring light. 'Even at its most minimal,' Wedde writes, 'Bill Culbert's art has a characteristically jaunty air; it sometimes comes as a surprise to realise that this jauntiness conveys an ethical challenge: to be alert,to participate, to converse.' Extensively researched and generously illustrated, Bill Culbert: Making Light Work is an assured participant in this conversation."--Publisher's website.
