About this work
Overview
Created in 2014, this work consists of three screenprints that together form a single visual statement. The pieces are held in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, where they are displayed as part of the institution’s contemporary print holdings.
Subject & Meaning
The imagery presents a stylised, block‑like structure rendered in stark, flat lines. The form appears to hover, its sharp angles and lack of shading emphasizing a geometric abstraction. Adjacent to the shape, the words “Farm Forum” are arranged in uneven, bold lettering, alternating red and black, suggesting a textual intervention that disrupts the visual field.
Technique & Style
Executed through screenprinting, the work relies on simple shapes and a limited colour palette to achieve a clean, graphic quality. The flat planes and precise edges reflect a minimalist approach, where the medium’s capacity for uniform colour fields is used to foreground the composition’s structural clarity.
History & Provenance
British artist Liam Gillick, born in 1964, produced the piece after establishing his reputation within the Young British Artists movement of the 1990s.
British artist Liam Gillick, born in 1964, produced the piece after establishing his reputation within the Young British Artists movement of the 1990s. He studied fine art at Goldsmiths, London, before developing a practice that often incorporates conceptual and architectural references. The prints entered MoMA’s collection shortly after their creation, becoming part of the museum’s holdings of contemporary prints.
Context
Gillick’s work frequently explores the intersection of language, architecture, and social spaces. The inclusion of the phrase “Farm Forum” aligns with his interest in institutional and communal settings, while the geometric building alludes to the constructed environments that shape public discourse.
