- Summary
- Upcycle this book. Rewrite it as a manifesto. Steal and take and copy and change this book. Upcycle these twenty-three texts just as I have upcycled so many other texts and responded to many sets of existing conditions. Or unlike I have. Treat these words as existing conditions. Some of them are artworks. Some of them upcycle artworks by others. Some are barely texts at all... Often the words are a script to be performed. It s useful to read words out loud in public.'' Gavin Wade is pragmatic utopian, an artist, artist-curator, artist-writer and one of the founding directors of Eastside Projects in Birmingham, UK. He has curated numerous exhibitions as well as written and published a number of books - such as 'Has Man a Function in Universe?' (Book Works, 2008). 'Upcycle This Book' was co-published by Book Works and Stroom den Haag.
