Giving the Story a Treatment

Alex Morrison - Giving the Story a Treatment
The first comprehensive publication on Canadian artist Alex Morrison. Best known for his documentations on the skater culture, Morrison's videos, photographs and drawings take a critical look at the marketing and strategies at work, and reveal the growing aestheticisation of the political within the cultural spectrum.
The renowned Canadian writer Jeff Derksen and Danish art critic Lars Bang Larsen contribute penetrating perspectives into Morrison's work, linking it in a historical continuum with activist moments of recent history and contemporary events.
Born 1972, Alex Morrison lives and works in Berlin & Vancouver.
Edited by Christina Ritchie and Nicolaus Schafhausen.
Text by Lars Bang Larsen, interview by Jeff Derksen.
