This new monograph on Robin Rhode includes an extended interview conversation with Jean Wainwright The Seductiveness of Endless Possibilities pp.55 -71.
Robin Rhode works with disadvantaged black former gang members in Johannesburg South Africa to create extraordinary artworks on a particular wall in dangerous area of the city. The conversation with him is an in depth discussion of his working methodology and the challenges that he faces. It describes both the work painted on the wall, Rhodes performances, the photographic outcome and the differences between his studio practice in Berlin and his ‘wall’ in South Africa. The monograph and interview is richly illustrated showing the gestation of the work.
