Ask the Artist | Questions for Cornelia Parker | Tate

Artist Cornelia Parker responds to questions from visitors to her 2022 exhibition at Tate Britain. What advice would she give to herself as a young artist? Why is she so drawn to chalk as an artistic medium? And which building would she like to blow up next?

Cornelia Parker is one of Britain's best loved and most acclaimed contemporary artists. Always driven by curiosity, she reconfigures domestic objects to question our relationship with the world. Using transformation, playfulness and storytelling, she engages with important issues of our time, be it violence, ecology or human rights.

I love Cornelia Parker's work. It's so diverse. Unexpected. She's so down to earth when she talks about her art too which is like a breath of fresh air 😊

I never thought of chalk that way - from it being able to messages and being our actual edge of England 🤯

"You don't need a studio. You don't need lots of money. You just need your imagination". Lack of imagination: nowadays art failures 🖤

I have loved Cornelia Parker and her wonderous creativity for many years. Her works are beautiful storytellings of the human experience. I'm a New Zealander and I do hope that one day I may get to see her work (likely at the Tate, London, I'm guessing), in person. My adoration for her was such that I even named a stray cat, that refused to live elsewhere (try as I may), 'Cornelia Parker', in her honour. I get an annual automated text message from the local Veterinary clinic to alert me that "Cornelia Parker is due for her vaccination". Sadly 'Cornelia Parker' got run over by a car, and is no more. But I still get the text alerts regardless. Which is both funny and sad at the same time. Writing this was cathartic. Thanks Cornelia/'Cornelia'.

Hello Cornelia,
I wondered if you could visually create a Murder room for the victims
Of stolen loved ones.

Political Abstract Red & Green really was a £17k wet fart.

And so this is art. Nowadays art. They call it art but it is just sheer garbage. I do pity these times of ours when such nonsense is so highly praised and people waste their time speculating and discussing it.
Faceplaming in every fibre of my being.
