DENNY, Simon
Landscapes

This volume surveys Simon Denny's Metaverse Landscapes, his recent painting series that depict land plots in digital worlds. They unpack historical resonances between territory, abstraction and financialization – in a new kind of landscape painting.

Landscapes brings together detailed reproductions of the paintings, exhibition documentation from Kunstverein Hannover and Frans Masereel Centrum, and commentary by a number of prominent authors including Christina Barton, Adina Glickstein, Martin Herbert, Omar Kholeif and Fred Turner. [publisher's note]

"Even as they depict various kinds of digital real estate in naturalistic detail, Denny’s paintings revel in the ways that digital technologies dissolve the material world into bits and bytes."
—Fred Turner
