• PEEP SHOW ~ Jack Hutchinson

  Published in Twin , October 2009

  Forget words. Fiona Banner turns punctuation into art. She explores the problems and possibilities of written language. For Banner, it’s all about the space between words, the urge and failure of communication. The British artist’s public artworks have included bronze casts of giant full stops, to be used as seats or to lean against. They’re objects to pause against just as we pause in conversation.

• Love Hate War ~ Brian Butler

  Published in The Newspaper, 2007 ( p. 25 )

  ‘Inside, Banner has culled together images from newspapers of fighter planes and helicopters from news reports on recent military actions. They have been cut out, identified and indexed in a scrapbook approach. The word ‘All’ in the title constructs a universe of totality, striving towards the control of achieving a complete collection, yet as any train-spotting mind will tell you, it is anything but complete.’

• The Bastard Word

  Published in Now Magazine, 15 - 22 March 2007 ( VOL 26 NO 28 )

  Her new show, The Bastard Word, goes further into the forms of language and the language of forms, using fighter planes and the classic human nude as starting points to explore themes that have occupied her over the years: the seductive power of the image over the word in pop culture, the gap between language and object, the iconography of the military and the deployment of sexuality.
