AN OPPORTUNITY FOR REFLECTION, A PLACE WHERE THE PREVIOUS IS REPLACED BY THE PRESENT AND WORKS ARE TOGETHER STOLEN FROM THE URGENCY OF THEIR ORIGIN IN TIME, REPOSITIONED TO FORM A COLLECTIVE BACKWARDS LOOK AT A SELECTIVE PERIOD OF PRODUCTION AND COGENCY. Occupying a complete floor of Tate Liverpool, the multiple bodies of work on show by Jake & Dinos Chapman employ the usual armoury of mannequins, etchings, drawings, sculpture and vitrines, stretching from the early 1990s to the present. The exhibition contains those earlier works so e ectively imprinted into the wider public consciousness, alongside other forays into the structures, cultural legacies and wreckages of the so-called developed and cultured world. In any retrospective we might expect a few works to appear tired as time passes. Here, interestingly, some early mannequin sculptural works are covered in a discernible layer of dust, and in some cases it’s clear that it’s settled under the conditions of what must, on this showing, be one of rom Disasters of War IV, 2001, portfolio of 83 hand-coloured etchings with watercolour, each 25 x 35 cm.
