by Cornelia Parker (born 1956) was recreated in the courtyard at the Royal Academy of Arts, London. This meticulous and unsettling installationfirst shown on the roof of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, against the skyline of Central Parkis half stage set, half sculpture. The work, which draws on archetypal images of American culture such as the red barn and the infamous Bates house from Alfred Hitchcock’s
Psycho
, will now be seen against a backdrop of Burlington House’s neoclassical buildings. Parker is internationally admired for her installations, including
Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View
(1991), a reconstruction of an exploded shed. Generously illustrated with supporting imagery and installation shots, this book comprises a conversation with the artist and a text on the work’s installation in London.
