More than just a catalogue, this major publication will help define the age in which we live. Specially commissioned texts by writers such as JG Ballard and Peter Wollen, and contemporary pieces by, amongst others, Paul Virilio, Ivan Illich and Susan George, are placed alongside classic historical texts by Blaise Cendrars and Robert Musil. The pictures also cover a wide range, from the picture library of the Science Museum (images for which Ballard has written his own particular captions), to works included in the exhibitions by some of this century's most important artists, such as Marcel Duchamp, Joseph Beuys, Fernand Leger and Richard Hamilton. A stunning anthology, this book will undoubtedly confirm speed as the defining theme of the twentieth century.

Whitechapel Gallery

Speed continued at the Whitechapel Art Gallery with an exhibition which explores speed's central presence in twentieth century culture. Seductive but critical, eclectic and inquisitive, Speed brings together many of this century's most visionary artists from Umberto Boccioni to Siobhan Hapaska, Walter Sickert to Richard Hamilton. Exploring our modern obsession with time and movement the Whitechapel Art Gallery displays a range of historical and contemporary works from painting and sculpture to video and furniture.

MacDonald Stewart Art Centre and McLuhan Program in Culture and Technology

24 September – 31 October 1998
As part of the Speed project, there will be a broad-ranging exhibition held at the MacDonald Stewart Art Centre in Guelph, Ontario. Containing historical pieces from the Art Gallery of Ontario, works by younger British artists including Martin Creed, Karen Eslea and Graham Gussin, and pieces from the MSAC's collection of Inuit art, this exhibition will make an important contribution to our exploration of speed culture. The prestigious McLuhan Program in Culture and Technology, which continues the ground-breaking work of its namesake, Marshall McLuhan, is also creating a website especially for this project. This Speed site will explore McLuhan's relationship to speed as well as providing a broad cultural exploration of this important phenomenon. 

Speed was curated by Jeremy Millar.
