The Situationist International

An accessible guide to the art, architecture and activist movement of the Situationist International. The text explains things clearly and without the usual mythologizing. Which doesn’t stop it from being quite favorable to the Situationists. And the accompanying pictures, many in color, are possibly the best selection of situationist art or anti-art available in print. Included for example are Guy Debord’s most famous collages and psychogeographic maps, color reproductions of works by Asger Jorn, examples of the underrepresented German faction of the Situationist movement, a sample from Ralph Rumney’s “Psychogeographic Venice”, and many good-quality photos of the various contributors to the movement.
