The Map Is Not the Territory [Hardcover]

Alan Woods (Author), Ralph Rumney (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 23, 2001 | ISBN-10: 0719059518 | ISBN-13: 978-0719059513

This innovative book is an interaction based on a series of interviews between the artist Ralph Rumney and the writer Alan Woods. Rumney's extraordinary life is chronicled here, as well as his works over the last 45 years. He is the only British founder-member of Situationist International, and the lone founder of the London Psychogeographical Society. Complementing the open elements of play and discovery inherent in Rumney's psychogeography is an almost Duchamp-esque interest in the applicability of games. This volume contains over 100 illustrations, many of which have not been previously reproduced.
