This was a collaborative project with the artist Alexandra Grant. The book was the first book published by X Artists’ Books, an imprint started by Grant and Keanu Reeves. The Artists’ Prison looks askance at the workings of personality and privilege, sexuality, authority, and artifice in the art world. Imagined through the heavily redacted testimony of the prison’s warden, written by Alexandra Grant, and powerfully allusive images by Eve Wood, the prison is a brutal, Kafkaesque landscape where creativity can be a criminal offence and sentences range from the allegorical to the downright absurd. The drawings were exhibited at Ochi Projects in 2017.
