Genpei Akasegawa Knihy

The book explores the innovative project of Genpei Akasegawa, an avant-garde artist who sought out peculiar objects in Japan, coining the term "hyperart" to describe them. His work reflects a playful yet profound engagement with urban life, drawing parallels to modern thinkers like Walter Benjamin. This revised edition includes insights from scholars and a new essay on Akasegawa's influence as a teacher, enriching the understanding of his legacy in art and literature. Fans of mixed-media and urban exploration will find this work particularly engaging.

Anti-Academy examines the ideas, processes, workshops and legacies of three radical educational models in 1960s Japan, the USA and Denmark. Comprised of three sections, each relating to one of these school's programmes, Anti-Academy explores life at Bigakko, Tokyo, The Intermedia Programme at the University of Iowa, and Ex-School, Copenhagen. Anti-Academy is a comprehensive interpretation of how these three academies situated themselves on the peripheries of the art world, existing in opposition to the mainstream, and responding to the political and social climate, location and cultural context of the day.Published alongside an exhibition of the same name, 21 November 2013 - 18 February 2014.
