Synopsis
The first collection ever of writing by the internationally acclaimed and widely exhibited New Zealand artist Julian Dashper, who died in 2009. Dashper's writing - clean yet reflective, poignant and often confrontational - reads like a diary, moving from freeform texts to poetry, from journal-like reflections to rigorous art criticism. His relaxed style engages the reader, offering a deeply human contrast to academic tomes. His critical observations on the influence of Modernism on the way we look at contemporary art are particularly powerful. He was an early factor in forcing the art community to open its doors and hear voices from around the world, and his curiosity, humor and passion make us realize what was lost with his death at only 49.
