Exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with show held at Tate Gallery, London, March 18 - July 18, 1999. Texts by Chris Burden, Frances Morris, and Mary Horlock. A very good catalogue focusing on Burden's "Two-Minute Airplane Factor," in which Burden designed a robotic model airplane factor. Also details many other works by Burden from 1971 through 1990s. Includes many images as well as bibliography. "At the end of the twentieth century ordinary people have little or no understanding of how the world we live in functions, how the food we eat is grown or how the objects we use are manufactured. For 'The Two-Minute Airplane Factory' Burden has designed a factory-like assembly line which will construct model airplanes from paper, plastic and balsa-wood parts. The process, which is all on view, culminates in the launch of the planes, which fly up and circle round before descending to land on the gallery floor, to be collected and sold to visitors. Burden lays bare the principles of mass production in a way that is entertaining, ingenious and provocative." -- from catalogue's back cover.
