TATE: BRIEF LESSONS IN RULE BREAKING

Take a step out of the system and be encouraged and inspired by the artistic avant-garde with wise words on stealing, holding yourself back, probing pain, discovering you are not a creative genius, right things wrong space, wrong things right space, inventions, going to excess and intervention. Find ideas worth taking from Pablo Picasso, Bridget Riley, Marina Abramovic who encourages us to embrace unpleasant emotions and investigate taboo subjects. William Blake resists and reassess the norm. Andy Warhol joins a collective to spark ideas and share experiences. Marcel Duchamp and Rachel Whiteread take things out of context to find new value. Cindy Sherman creates an alter ego and Jeff Koons challenges the boundaries of good taste. And there are others who question whether it's good to disrupt a routine, turn an idea on its head, or challenge the norm in a book that will give you the confidence to take creative risks and experiment, free from self-doubt. 112pp, softback with big typography and nice design, and eight pages of colour plates from the artists at the back.
