| book description |

Published on the occasion of Raging Planet and The Power and the Glory, two group exhibitions at Newport Street Gallery, which opened on 28 March and run until 31 August 2025, these two books – available individually and as a slipcase set – showcase the full selection of works on display and explore the intersection of chaos, destruction and creation in contemporary art. Curated by Connor Hirst, Raging Planet spans the gallery’s ground floor and features works by Angela Bulloch, Roger Hiorns, Oliver Marsden, Hwang Samyong, Bosco Sodi and Keith Tyson. Upstairs, The Power and the Glory presents a selection of scholars’ rocks and archival photographs from the atomic age, interrogating the atomic bomb’s significance – not only as a subject of immense political, scientific and ethical relevance but also as a cultural object.  Beautifully designed and featuring insightful essays by Jonathan Griffin and Laura Havlin, these publications, alongside the exhibitions, examine the reverberations of both natural and human-created disaster in cultural production. Together, they grapple with the inexpressibility of living with such chaos while offering ways to confront and understand it.
