Reviews

An audacious and truly transnational remapping of Antipodean avant-gardes that musters the usual suspects only to change that history by introducing new players who had long been hiding in plain sight. By centering artists such as Ania Walwicz, Jas Duke, Lionel Fogarty and others such as Ouyang Yu, Carruthers conducts Antipodean poetics as a synaesthetic symphony that generates new cross-hemispheric collaborations and collusions. -- Sneja Gunew, University of British Columbia
