A new home in a rapidly redeveloping city currently embracing all things cultural, four, for the most part, interesting, critically engaged artists – so why does the Turner Prize 2007 exhibition feel so flat?

Nathan Coley was born in 1967 in Glasgow, Scotland, where he continues to live and work. Using a range of media including sculpture, photography, drawing, text and video, Coley investigates the socio-economic ramifications of our built environment, while also addressing the political and ethical value of various religious and humanist beliefs, including Voltaire’s moral assertion that we should all “cultivate our garden”. His work “Show Home” (2003), an idyllic crofters cottage façade, was shown in prime development sites across the United Kingdom, accompanied by marketing and promotional material associated with the sale of lifestyle real estate. For his public commission as part of the 1st Folkestone Triennial in Kent, Coley presented the illuminated text piece “Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens” (2008).
Nathan Coley has recently presented solo exhibitions and projects at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne, Australia (2011), The Ballast Project, Scheepvaart Museum, Amsterdam, (2011), Jupiter Artland, Edinburgh, (2010), Bergen Kunsthall, Norway (2009), De la Warr Pavilion, Bexhill-on-Sea (2008), Haunch of Venison, Berlin (2007), Doggerfisher, Edinburgh (2007) and the Centre for Contemporary Art, Nottingham (2007).
