Publisher's Synopsis
Ian Burn has been described as many things: an activist, a trade-unionist, a journalist, an art critic, a curator and an art historian - and, as he once described himself in a moment of self-deprecating alienation, 'an exConceptual artist'. This volume brings together a diverse collection of Burn's writings that reveals a probing, analytical artist who turned to language to articulate the need for 'looking at seeing and reading', who pursued a Marxist politics in the face of neoliberalism and who sought to occupy and transform the margins of landscape painting.
