Made in close collaboration with the artist, this publication has been created to accompany the first major exhibition of Steve McQueen’s artwork in the UK for 20 years, held at Tate Modern from Feb. to May 2020 (and the Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan, Oct 2020 to Feb 2021). It focuses on McQueen’s body of work from the past two decades, bringing together the immersive video and film installations he has made since 2000. These include large-scale video installations such as ‘ Caribs’ Leap / Western Deep’, 2002, as well as more recent films such as ‘ Ashes’, 2002–15 and new works such as ‘Year 3’, held at Tate Britan Feb. to May 2020. The book includes an interview with curator Walker, exploring key aspects of McQueen’s career. Nelson focuses more deeply on his artworks in relation to film, black cinema and queer cinema, and Gilroy discusses his work in relation to the socio-political context of black British issues and within the black diaspora.
