Parafin is delighted to announce its first exhibition with British artist Nathan Coley (b.1967, Glasgow). The exhibition is Coley's first in London in five years and coincides with his biggest public project to date, a major new work installed across ten sites in the Central Denmark Region for the year long cultural project Aarhus2017. Coley is interested in the idea of 'public' space, and his practice explores the ways in which architecture becomes invested - and reinvested - with meaning. Across a range of media Coley investigates what the built environment reveals about the people it surrounds and how social and individual responses to it are in turn culturally conditioned. Using the readymade as a means to take from and re-place in the world, Coley addresses the ritual forms we use to articulate our beliefs. Whether highlighting in illuminated letters the five 'rights of man' under Islam, or deconstructing Shaker furniture, his work frequently turns the specific into the general, thereby testing its function as a form of social representation. Coley's exhibition at Parafin includes new sculptures and text works. The centerpiece of the show is a major new sculptural work, Tate Modern on Fire (2017). This work is a companion piece to Paul (2015), which depicts St Paul's Cathedral. The two buildings face each other across the Thames and in doing so establish a complex relationship - between past and present, religion and culture - at the centre of London. While St Paul's is an iconic religious building, a symbol of London and of the city's endurance during the blitz, Tate Modern is, it might be argued, a secular cathedral for the twenty-first century. In Coley's works, both buildings are rendered as architectural models which, while complete from the front, are open at the back and filled with associative objects in the manner of a wunderkammer or a cabinet of curiosities. While the work questions the status of the institution, as with all Coley's work a rich and complex ambiguity pervades. Is the fire a proposal or a warning? On reflection, what at first seems an act of wilful cultural iconoclasm is revealed to be a more open proposition. Furthermore, at a time when cultural institutions are deemed viable targets by terrorist groups such as IS, the image of a prominent public building on fire carries a host of troubling associations.The sculpture also references Ed Ruscha's controversial painting, The Los Angeles County Museum of Art on Fire (1965-68). When that painting was first exhibited Ruscha was asked if it articulated a desire to burn the museum and its contents. Ruscha said, 'No, but if you want to see that as a political painting, you can - a revolt against an authority figure.' The exhibition also includes Palace (2015), one of Coley's signature large-scale illuminated text works, and a group of new sculptures which deconstruct self-assemble Shaker furniture. The Shakers adhere to guiding principles of simplicity, utility and honesty and their beliefs are reflected in the pared down forms of their furniture. In these works Coley addresses the conflation of domesticity and religious belief. Coley will have an exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art from 25 March 2017, the first in the new season of contemporary presentations, NOW. The exhibition will include Tate Modern on Fire and Paul, shown together for the first time, and Coley's iconic The Lamp of Sacrifice, 286 Places of Worship (2004).--Parafin website.

46 Brooklands Gardens was a temporary sculpture by Nathan Coley, commissioned by firstsite. It was sited for three months in Jaywick, on the Essex coast, in the heart of the Brooklands housing estate. The work took the form of a single-storey architectural structure, its dimensions drawn from the imprint of the original home that once stood on the plot. A simple steel and ply sculpture, 46 Brooklands Gardens is an interesting piece for Coley through his use of colour. This publication documents the work in-situ through a series of photographs. A short text by Jes Fernie explores the context, responses to and affects of the work.

- Features The Lamp of Sacrifice and 286 Places of Worship, Edinburgh, 2004 - two of the artist's most important and compelling works, as well as a recent sculpture, Tate Modern on Fire, 2017, which is published here for the first time - Featuring sumptuous, high-quality, full-color plates and details - Including a newly commissioned essay by award-winning author Ewan Morrison - The book accompanies an exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh (25 March to 24 October 2017) This richly illustrated publication explores the work of contemporary artist Nathan Coley. It offers a detailed look at three of his most significant sculptural works: The Lamp of Sacrifice, 286 Places of Worship, Edinburgh 2004, 2004; Paul, 2015; and Tate Modern on Fire, 2017, which is reproduced and discussed here for the first time. In a newly commissioned text, award-winning novelist, screenwriter and director Ewan Morrison focuses on these three sculptures to explore the complexity and ambiguity of Coley's artistic practice. Morrison brings into play different narrative forms and voices to draw attention to the realms of history, art history and politics that Coley's work inhabits, as well as the deeply personal responses that Coley's work can generate. This book accompanies the exhibition NOW at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh (25 March to 24 October 2017).
