Book Title: Skateboarding, Space and the City: Architecture and the Body
Author: Iain Borden
Selection Statement:
Much of this phase of my career was spent studying skateboarders, BMX riders, and the digital media artists with whom they work. While often dismissed and marginalized, skaters show us alternative visions of the world. This book made a profound impact on how I viewed skateboarding—and interests more broadly—and made me think about the kinds of subversive creativity that are needed to imagine new ways of living in this world.
