Description

The Serpentine is pleased to present iPhone 6s, a new Limited Edition digital print by Michael Craig-Martin. Produced on the occasion of his exhibition Transience, which focuses on his painting and drawing practice through the lens of technology, it depicts the latest model of this popular smartphone.

This multifunctional object has in recent years replaced the need for numerous other individual objects, including the calculator, diary, book and watch, all of which have been drawn and painted by Craig-Martin since the 1970s. However, the increasing speed with which new models of the iPhone are developed suggests that this object, too, will become obsolete in the near future.

Artist

Michael Craig-Martin

Michael Craig-Martin's (b. Dublin, 1941) early works explore the conceptual possibilities of contemporary art, testing the boundaries between functional and functionless forms. The introduction of digital technology in recent years has resulted in the breakdown of the relationship between form and function, a process that Craig-Martin captures in his depictions of successive inventions, from the battery, to the cassette, to the laptop.
