| book description |

Published on the occasion of 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 Glory spans the gallery’s first floor and 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 an insightful essay by Laura Havlin, The Power and the Glory – alongside Raging Planet and their respective exhibitions – 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.
