This is the first book on the young, upcoming British artist David Cotterrell. Cotterrell plays with the tradition of eccentric inventions, incorporating customised technology in humorous and political site specific works. Since the mid 90s Cotterrell has exhibited internationally both in and outside conventional gallery spaces, invading the public arena in unexpected ways, as with his man-made geyser, which spurts water high into the air from the middle of a suburban park every day at an allocated time. Cotterrell was selected for the Becks Futures Awards at the ICA, London, 2002 and is working on a number of public commissions in the UK and internationally. The Impossible Project includes texts by writer and curator Caryn Faure Walker as well as responses to Cotterrell's work from the fields of science, technology, history and politics. 80 colour & b/w illustrations
