◇ Liam Gilick Interview - YouTube
Liam Gillick (born 1964, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire) is a British artist living in London and New York. He is often associated with the artists included in art critic and curator Nicolas Bourriaud's 1996 exhibit Traffic,[1] which first introduced the term Relational Art. These artists include Rirkrit Tiravanija, as Claire Bishop states, "Bourriaud deems them both to be paradigmatic of "relational aesthetics." [2] He was also in Bourriaud's 2002 exhibition ""Touch: Relational Art from the 1990s to Now"" at the San Francisco Art Institute.[3]. In 2009, Gillick represented Germany in the Giardini Pavilions of the Venice Biennale.[4] Together with Damien Hirst, Sarah Lucas, Angela Bulloch and Henry Bond he was, "the earliest of the YBAs"[5]―the Young British Artists who dominated British art during the 1990s.
