The second in a series of dialogues between Darian Leader, psychoanalyst and author of Stealing the Mona Lisa: What Art Stops Us From Seeing, and prominent international artists. Tonight, Leader meets British artist Cornelia Parker. Parker was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 1997 and had a solo exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery, London, in which she exhibited The Maybe, a collaboration with actress Tilda Swinton, who appeared sleeping inside a vitrine. For her piece Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View (1991), she asked the British Army to blow up a shed, before hanging all the pieces back together again suspended around a lightbulb. She is represented in numerous collections in the US and Europe, including the Tate.
