Ed Templeton: Wires Crossed by Ed Templeton (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Ed Templeton: Wires Crossed by Ed Templeton, Brian Anderson, Erik Ellington, Justin Regan, Elissa Steamer, Deanna Templeton, Karina Eckmeier Part memoir, part document of the DIY, punk-infused subculture of skateboarding as it came of age in the 1990s and early 2000s, Ed Templetons Wires Crossed pulses with the raw, combustive energy of Templetons image-making from the last twenty-plus years.Illustrated by photographs, collages, texts, maps, and other ephemera from Templetons journals, Wires Crossed offers an insiders look at a subculture in the making and reflects the unique aesthetic stamp that sprang from the skate world he helped create. Templeton occupies the rare position of having been a professional skateboarder, a two-time World Skateboarding champion, as well as a photographer and artist working within the skateboard community as it gained increasing cultural currency in the 1990s and beyond. His work first gained recognition as part of the Beautiful Losers collective loosely gathered around Aaron Roses Alleged Gallery on Manhattans Lower East Side.This work, much of it previously unpublished and unseen, explores Templetons own journey as an image maker, as well as the lives of professional skateboarders as they spent long hours criss-crossing the world on tour, revelling in their newfound status as rock star-like figures and the eternal search for new terrain to skate. Interviews between Templeton and fellow pro-skaters and friends add compelling detail about the pressures and pleasures of life on the road, and what its like to obsessively pursue an art form - whether on their decks or behind the camera.
