The book takes the form of a memoir of drawings about my life in the art world. My concerns are with the industrialization of art, the ubiquity of the avant-garde and the crises this creates for artistic production. It also asks us to take a close look at the situations and institutions where we work.“ BILLBURNSPROJECTS.COM
