Liam Gillick on His Uncompromisingly Intellectual Art

"As contemporary artists go, Liam Gillick is an outlier. He’s the YBA whose work is more cerebral than provocative. He’s a postmodern artist who often takes up modernist techniques. And he’s the rare contemporary artist who really cares about getting his work beyond the white cube of the gallery into the outside world."
