Mutual Assured Destruction

Mutual Assured Destruction is the first major book on Garifalakis’s work. This 236-page volume, edited by Brad Haylock and Stuart Geddes, and designed by Geddes, gives a comprehensive insight into Garifalakis’s practice, including his well-known Cover Ups and Mob Rule series, as well as important early photocopied works and wall paintings and rarely seen works from the archives. The book features essays by Melbourne-based cultural theorist Nikos Papastergiadis and Mexico City–based curator Daniel Garza Usabiaga as well as an extensive interview with the artist by Melbourne-based curator Mark Feary.
