Made with ARoS and edited by art historian and curator Marie Arleth Skov, the book is published alongside the museum's research-based exhibition of the same name but is far more than a catalogue: an independent work, an image-rich physical archive of punk's bodily revolt and the result of a multi-year research project. It examines the body as punk's most radical material, as image, stage, canvas, weapon, desire and resistance. Contributions by researchers, artists and thinkers move from graphic language and tattoos to feminisms, masculinities, queer experiences, GDR punk and the links between punk, surrealism, sexuality and violence, widening the story from a musical youth culture to an artistic, social and bodily revolution. The book draws on do-it-yourself ethics without imitating them, insisting on friction, rhythm and tactile weight.
