Description
"There was a
lyrical
quality
to
Hirst's
use
of
butterflies'
lifecycles
,
both
in the
1991
installation
In and
Out
of
Love
, and the
related
1994-5
series
of
paintings
, of
which
I
Love
You
forms
part.
"
(Caption
,
p.231)
; "By
contrast
to
[Richard]
Wilson's
late
modernist
exploration
of
phenomenological
paradox
,
1991
saw
a
younger
British
artist
named
Damien
Hirst
produce
a
striking
analogue
for the
relationship
between
aesthetic
and
lived
experience
.
Wilson's
installation
had been
designed
for its
location
(site-specific)
, but
Hirst's
In and
Out
of
Love
,
located
in a
makeshift
gallery
space
in
Woodstock
Road
,
London
,
temporarily
brought
together
a
variety
of
disparate
'materials'
.
It
also
required
the
spectator's
physical
movement
. In an
upper
room
the
cocoons
of
exotic
butterflies
were
attached
to
large
white
canvases
.
Heat
from
radiators
and
plants
in
'window
boxes'
at the
bases
of the
canvases
encouraged
them to
hatch
and
flourish
briefly
. In a
lower
room
a
myriad
of
gorgeous
butterflies
were
embalmed
on a
set
of
brightly
painted
canvases
. The
butterflies'
wings
, in a
curious
mix
of
insensitivity
and
poetry
, were
lapped
in
paint.
