This bilingual publication brings together seven lectures given during the programme of events that accompanied the exhibition “Steve McQueen. Works” at Schaulager Basel in 2013. The lectures delve deeper into the work of the British video installation and film artist, and illuminate the interaction between art and cinema in Steve McQueen’s work. It is interspersed with high-quality photographs presenting a - previously unpublished - visual review of the spectacular architecture designed specifically to present Steve McQueen’s work at Schaulager.
