DIY and DIY Too, and both include contributions from some of the most prominent and prolific independent artists, critics and producers working within the discipline. The title – DIY – refers to a number of critical, creative and political ethos’. Particularly unique to a post-punk and UK-centric Live Art and new-theatre canon, both books have contributions from international artists, and cover a wide range of fields, practices and theories.
