Tacita Dean: JG Ballard, Robert Smithson and me

Artist Tacita Dean talks to Adrian Searle about her epic search for Robert Smithson's ethereal earthwork Spiral Jetty in Utah – and how she discovered that JG Ballard shared her adoration of the land artist. The former Turner prize nominee, who displayed filmic work at Tate Modern's Turbine Hall in 2011, exhibits the new videowork called JG alongside a series of postcards from prewar Kassel in Germany, over-painted by the artist to show 70 years of change. The show is at London's Frith Street Gallery from Friday to 26 October
