ZANDER BLOM

The Travels of Bad

Zander Blom's second publication, following The Drain of Progress, documents the travels of 'an idealist Machiavellian hero, guitar in hand, on a crusade to revitalise the arts of the culture capital of the world'. According to Blom, 'The Travels of Bad is essentially a satire that looks critically at the influence that exotic cultures and their artefacts have had on the avant-garde system of European visual art from the end of the 19th century onwards. The critique comes in the shape of mini-novella that is illustrated by a series of photographic works and accompanied by a pseudo rock-opera type symphonic drone thrash metal rock album.'
