Nathan Coley
Davin — December 7th, 2007

Nathan Coley - There Will be No Miracles Here and We Must Cultivate Our GardenA nominee for the 2007 Turner Prize, Scottish sculptor and installation artist, Nathan Coley deals most often with questioning the institutions of theology and examining the elements of faith. Just one aspect of his work, his large scale environmental texts are striking and have the resonance of Holzer’s Truisms.

There Will Be No Miracles Here references the 17th century village of Modseine, France where, by royal decree, a sign was erected warning against superstitious practices that in essence challenged the moral authority of a divinely enthroned monarchy. We Must Cultivate Our Garden is a translation of one of the final lines from Voltaire’s Candide which is similarly about the conflict between secular life and theocratic rule.

Tate Online has a video interview with Coley.
