Design Anarchy

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 & the problem of aesthetic recuperation.

The Author

Kalle Lasn is the founder and editor-in-chief of Adbusters magazine. He has been a key figure in international activism for well over a decade. He was the prime author and driving force behind the First Things First 2000 Manifesto.

"Design books are generally so pompous, self-serving, of-the-moment and gutless, that on the guts element alone, Lasn’s book is significant."
— Natalia Ilyin, Communication Arts [Full Review]

"A wake-up call for everyone mindlessly living out their days… Design Anarchy is high-octane ammo."
— Shandy Casteel, Playback [Full Review]
