There is a new book coming! ‘The legacy of Leigh Bowery, king of queer’. The career of this outrageous shapeshifter of the 80’s/90’s was short-lived (Leigh died in 1994, just 33 ) but his creative legacy is bigger than ever. This is the story.
1988, interview
In 1988 Dutch journalist Bamber Delver, interviewed the artist Leigh Bowery. This book re-publishes the original 1988 interview, Including lots of never-seen-before photos of three of Leigh’s creations. The book presents several timelines, of Leigh’s life and afterlife: his legacy. Like the annual Aussie-party Bowerytopia and the theatre named after him: the Bowery Theatre, Australia (native country of Bowery). A variety of performers pay tribute to Leigh, verbally and visually. The book comes in 2 versions. The hardcover in print is a real treat. The interactive, digital flipbook reads like a work of art, full of video's.
