A collection of eight essays by different writers, as well as the artist himself, covering different aspects of Bedri Baykam's life and work. Described by Hasan Bulent Kahraman as "an eminent and problematic artist in both Turkey and the international art scene," Baykam's attacks on the western art world for systematic exclusion of non-western artists has been regarded by some as contradictory. Topics in 'Behind and Beyond Paint' include his work as a Cultural Guerilla, in Live Art, Politics, as well as presenting his critical views on curators, curatorial practice, and the Western art world. This wonderfully illustrated book gives a lighthearted and humorous approach to some serious questions on the state of art and culture today.
