Formed in Detroit in the early 1970s by Mike Kelley, Jim Shaw, Cary Loren and Niagara, Destroy All Monsters dissolved the boundaries between visual art, experimental music, comics, performance and self-publishing, leaving a lasting impact on contemporary art, punk and DIY culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned by Cary Loren, the publication brings together photographs, flyers, drawings, collages, correspondence and rare ephemera, tracing the group's evolution from art-school experiment to cult phenomenon. A bound-in flexi-disc featuring recordings by Destroy All Monsters reinforces the book's hybrid identity as both publication and artist's multiple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally issued in a relatively small edition and increasingly difficult to find complete with the flexi-disc intact, \u003cem\u003eGeisha This\u003c\/em\u003e remains the essential publication on the collective and a landmark document of Detroit's underground art scene.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DESTROY ALL MONSTERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45065748316441,"sku":"","price":550.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/5024\/2841\/files\/IMG_0325_3c710b61-178a-495f-9b4e-45ad284e7650.jpg?v=1783863734","url":"https:\/\/landslidebooksandobjects.com\/products\/destroy-all-monsters-geisha-this","provider":"Landslide","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
