Description
Published on the occasion of Raging Planet, one of two exhibitions at Newport Street Gallery, London, which opened on 28 March and runs until 31 August 2025, this publication showcases the full selection of works on display and explores the intersection of chaos, destruction and creation in contemporary art.
Curated by Connor Hirst, Raging Planet spans the gallery's ground floor and features works by Angela Bulloch, Roger Hiorns, Oliver Marsden, Hwang Samyong, Bosco Sodi and Keith Tyson.
Beautifully designed and featuring an introductory essay by Jonathan Griffin, Raging Planet - alongside The Power and the Glory and their respective exhibitions - examines the reverberations of both natural and human-made disasters in cultural production. Taken together, they grapple with the inexpressibility of living amid such chaos, while offering ways to confront and understand it.
