| book description |

Published on the occasion ofÂ The Power and the Glory, one of two exhibitions at Newport Street Gallery, London, which opened on 28 March and runs until 31 August 2025, this publication showcases the full selection of works on display and explores the intersection of chaos, destruction and creation in contemporary art. The Power and the GloryÂ spans the galleryâ€™s first floor and presents a selection of scholarsâ€™ rocks and archival photographs from the atomic age, interrogating the atomic bombâ€™s significance â€“ not only as a subject of immense political, scientific and ethical relevance but also as a cultural object. Beautifully designed and featuring an insightful essay by Laura Havlin,Â The Power and the GloryÂ â€“ alongsideÂ Raging PlanetÂ and their respective exhibitions â€“ examines the reverberations of both natural and human-made disasters in cultural production. Taken together, they grapple with the inexpressibility of living amid such chaos, while offering ways to confront and understand it.
