ITEM OVERVIEW
A radical new aesthetic vision by Adbusters editor-in-chief Kalle Lasn. Equal parts memoir, manifesto, scrapbook, and revolutionary design manual, this book is an urgent call for artists, designers, architects and communicators to re-engage with the world. It's a big one too. 416 oversize pages, weighing in at 6 pounds! Richly illustrated with highlights from 15 years of Adbusters design activism (and featuring the work of Banksy, Andy Goldworthy, Jeff Wall, Edward Burtynsky, Ryan McGinness, Andre Serrano, Dah Len, Robert Mapplethorpe, John Goto, Mark Tansey, Gregory Crewdson among others), Design Anarchy probes the historical roots of commercial design culture, the cultural impact of the post-modern sensibility and the problem of aesthetic recuperation. Along the way, it proposes two revolutionary new schools of design philosophy and practice: True Cost Design and Psycho Design. In the battle for a new kind of meaning, Design Anarchy is 400 pages without precedent.
