Overview

A monograph to treasure. A true artist's book, this unique publication offers stunning reproductions and profound texts - exquisitely assembled over three paper sizes and stocks in a visual journey through Achiampong's interconnecting themes of class, migration, and the archive. If It Don't Exist, Build It addresses all of Larry Achiampong's major work over the course of his career in film, sculpture, installation, sound, collage and performance. It explores the broader themes and ideas that have informed his artistic practice and shaped the creation of his most ambitious projects, including the multi-disciplinary Relic Traveller series. Featuring an intimate extended interview with the artist, this is an insightful monograph that will appeal to admirers of Achiampong and his work. It will also interest anyone excited by bold art that continually pushes at the boundaries of form and medium, and that responds profoundly to many of the most pressing social issues of our time.
