I Want to Spend the Rest of My Life Everywhere with Everyone One to One

by Damien Hirst

Due to popular demand, this extraordinary book project by Damien Hirst is now available in a reduced format. This dynamic and provocative collection of Hirst's ideas and obsessions is a powerful combination of text and visual elements. Each piece is set against a visual narrative of drawings, words, photography, typography, pop-ups, and other special effects that make this book like no other. An essay by cult novelist Gordon Burn looks at Hirst's work and the breadth of its impact. Designed by Jonathan Barnbrook, this is a landmark publication that has redefined the fine art monograph. AUTHOR Damien Hirst was born in Bristol and studied fine art at Goldsmiths College in London. In 1995, he won the prestigious Turner Prize. He has had recent solo exhibitions at the White Cube, London; the Marble Palace, Russia; Saatchi Gallery, London; Gagosian Gallery, New York; and Tate Gallery, London. Gordon Burn is an award-winning writer of both fiction and nonfiction. His book of interviews with Damien Hirst, On the Way to Work, was published in 2002.

[Antonio Margal · Rating 5 out of 5]

Darte cuenta que absorbemos y percibimos gran parte del mundo por un par de masas carnosas, suaves, frágiles y gelatinosas que son los ojos, esa pesada sensación de claustrofobia como dice Hirst...lo mismo que buscan todos los artistas: el trascender, la única manera de vivir eternamente.

Ese sentimiento pesado y constante de tener a la muerte desinfectada, inerte, pulcra e industrial a un lado permea los textos. Drogas, vida y religión. Hermoso diseño que se sale del cajón, como el mismo artista con su arte.

Puro eye candy brutal.

there's all kinds of things to pull out and turn and interact with in this book. it's like those activity toys for babies with images of dissected cows and cigarette butts instead.

Jonathan Barnbrook, who designed this book, is a co-author of Damien Hirst's superstardom.

Loaded with stuff. The design by Jonathan Barnbrook is gorgeous. I wish I still had it.

My introduction to Hirst's art, providing context to what I previously considered crap.
