Robin Rhode

Who Saw Who
With essays by Michele Robecchi and James Sey, and an interview between Robin Rhode and Stephanie Rosenthal.
Exhibition Catalog, published on the occasion of the exhibition Who Saw Who at The Hayward, London 2008.

Robin Rhode's art uses the barest of means to comment on urban poverty, the politics of leisure and the commodification of youth cultures. The artist has a reputation for brilliantly inventive performances, photography and video animations in which drawing plays a crucial role. In his works, which are often created on the street, Rhode interacts with two-dimensional representations of everyday objects: he draws a candle and attempts to blow it out; he paints a bicycle and tries to ride it. Recently, he has moved towards more abstract forms in paintings and drawings and has also begun to make sculpture.

Robin Rhode: Who Saw Who is fully illustrated and includes, for the first time, reproductions of Rhode's newest work created at Southbank Centre, London. (Exhibition: 7 October – 7 December 2008)
