Frankenstein Reanimated is a book for our strange times. Bang-up to
date it includes essays and artworks that engage with the Covid-19
pandemic, through to weird new imaginings of human-machine hybrids. A
striking cover with flaps displays a triptych by artist Carla Gannis,
a bespoke narrow format, and over 100 illustrations inside make this
an attractive book for a wide range of audiences. The book includes
full-colour illustrations and is designed by Mark Simmonds, who has
designed previous Torque Editions publications and books for Tate
Liverpool and the Baltimore Museum of Art.
Mary Shelley’s classic gothic horror and science fiction novel
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus has inspired millions since it
was published in 1818. Today, we are witness to many different horrors
and phantoms of our own creation. Chronic wealth and health
inequalities, climate change, democratic collapse, and the spectre of
the nuclear apocalypse are among the diffuse, monstrous products of
our “advanced” technological moment. Frankenstein Reanimated presents
a dynamic collection of artworks, essays, and conversations,
addressing surveillance, biohacking, viruses, colonialism, digital
culture, and more. It retraces and contextualises three international
art exhibitions exploring themes within Frankenstein, and speculates
on what Mary Shelley would think about the world today. Collectively,
the book offers a lens through which to look at our current situation,
and how art practices shape, and are shaped by, contemporary society.
Endorsements:
“This collection shines a light on artists as critically engaged
citizens providing a kaleidoscopic view of our unevenly distributed
future. These are the Frankensteins we need!” — Felix Stalder, Zurich,
University of the Arts.
“Frankenstein Reanimated is an important record of some incredible
artists working today, who both dismantle and rebuild our contemporary
technological systems, profoundly reimagining everything from facial
recognition to AI, 3D printing to virtual gaming environments.” —
Sarah Cook, University of Glasgow.
The book will be launched at events, book outlets, art spaces and
galleries in Germany, Spain, Cyprus, Switzerland and the UK, and other
places still are to be confirmed.
