This, the intriguingly titled fourth book by skater/artist Ed Templeton, is a collection of paintings, photographs and words. Expect much more than a skate-n-snap scrapbook, there is no "streets" (Skating’s Totally Rad Everything Else Totally Sucks) mentality here: instead you’ll discover a documentary of comradeship, youth, sex and melancholy.
Templeton who’s also Toy Machine Bloodsucking Skate Co’s founder, has kept busy with his Mined Empty exhibition opening in Copenhagen on 5 September. For first timers, THE CONTAGION OF SUGGESTIBILITY is a great introduction, while existing devotees will be equally as gratified.
