372 pages, color
hardcover
12.5 x 9.25 inches (31.75 x 23.5 cm)
Spanning the past two decades, the book presents an index of Rodney McMillian’s performance-based work, as well as a fresh look at Against a Civic Death, a 2018 exhibition of McMillian’s at The Contemporary Austin.
Designed and researched with the artist’s close participation, the book itself serves as both a testament to and a manifestation of McMillian’s disruptive, revealing art.
