Over the last 20 years performance artist André Stitt has presented hundreds of performances ? or ?akshuns? ? which are invariably violent and cathartic, involving self-abuse, tantrums and exorcisms. His references are wide, ranging from urban alienation to alternative religions. This publication combines images from the artist's archive with a history of Stitt's work through a series of conversations between the artist and Roddy Hunter (Lecturer in Performance Studies at Darlington School of Art). 91 colour ob/w illustrations
