What would inspire an artist to blow up a garden shed, to scour car-boot sales for silverware and then crush it all, to wrap a huge classical sculpture in string? Well, we asked @CorneliaParkerArtist, who has done all those things, and is currently displaying the results in her huge exhibition at @Tate Britain. She told us about artworks by others that she considers guiding lights – from Yves Klein’s ridiculous theatrical gestures, Christo and Jeanne-Claude's miles-long monuments in the desert, Duchamp’s bewildering string installations, Piero Manzoni’s deflated balloons, the RA’s own Summer Exhibition, and many more.
