Pippa Garner’s ACT LIKE YOU KNOW ME is a mammoth critical survey of the American conceptual artist’s work. Published on the occasion of her travelling exhibition of the same name, the book surveys 50 years of Garner’s varied art practice from the late 1960s to the early 2010s, through photography, illustrations, ephemera, and original writings – with inclusion of her most iconic works like Backwards Car and the Half-Suit. Lauded for her satirisation of American-style consumerism, prankish sense of humour, and conceptual sensibilities, Garner is one of the most influential and under-recognised artists of our times. Edited by Fiona Alison Duncan and Maurin Dietrich (director of the Kunstverein München), ACT LIKE YOU KNOW ME features writing by Dodie Bellamy, Glenn O’Brien, Shola von Reinhold and more.
