Guerrilla Art



Guerrilla art is a concept explored in my forthcoming book, Who Is Rodney Munch? It follows the adventures and misadventures of a group of students with no artistic backgrounds, who challenge Scotland's leading artistic institution by inviting themselves to put their own 'art' in the annual Degree Show.
The Degree Show is the highlight Duncan of Jordanstone's calander, drawing thousands of visitors every year, and showcasing the work of Scotland's best young artists... and Rodney Munch.

The book explores covert operations and guerrilla activities, and the very nature of rebellion. It also holds a mirror to the art world, while opening a range of possibilities to the daring rebels that would shock the world with their ideas - guerrilla poetry, guerrilla gardening, guerrilla music.
Yeah, so maybe they've all been done before, but Rodney Munch draws on Dundee's finest minds to create a unified purpose and philosophy, and pushes guerrilla creativity to its very limits.
