    In a lively reinterpretation from an interview transcript, Serpentine Gallery Co-Director, Hans Ulrich Obrist's conversation with Ashley Bickerton is remodelled as a graphic novel set in the red light district of an anonymous Eastern metropolis. Originally conducted in the Groucho Club, Obrist is portrayed as a fictional character, the pair are seen conversing in bars and moving through colourful streets and strip clubs as they discuss Bickerton's early ambitions to be a writer, his passion for surfing, island life and dialects of the English language, amongst a host of other interests and influences. An extensive anecdotal discussion and narrative leads the reader through the artist's varied life.

    This book catalogues recent works by the Bali-based artist Ashley Bickerton. The works will be exhibited at White Cube, London from April to May 2009.Ashley Bickerton contends the popular global construction of the tropics as perfec- tion, where surfing, drugs and parties in beachside tourist villas provide a homoge- nised experience of the exotic. Living on the island of Bali, he parodies this drunken myopia in his photocollages and sculp- tures, presenting such glut and excess as an artifice. Just as Gauguin 'sampled' Poly- nesian exotica, so do Bickerton's carica- tures perform ideas of the tropical. An in- troductory essay by Nick Stillman highlights these themes in Bickerton's work, while the artist's conversation with artist, curator and writer Harland Miller explores the idea of the island as man, home and retreat.
