Me and @stuartgeddes designed this book, @benmorrisphoto took the photos and Neon Parc and Perimeter were crazy enough to publish it. Also – apparently there will be champagne! All are welcome!
We fully expected to get a brick thrown at when we first proposed to crudely combine documentation of his studio with his paintings to Dale Frank and his gallerist, Geoff Newton. Instead Frank said ‘just get it done already’... our luck doubled when we caught London based photographer Ben Morris on his short Australian stint, commissioning him to “go and shoot app. 900 images of Dale’s studio for the equivalent amount of book pages, should be easy no?”. We had no idea Ben’s one day shoot will turn into an extended weekend and another weekend trip and hundreds of shots on film, digital and polaroid...
One really never expects book projects to be a bit like the filming of Apocalypse Now but there we have it... At over 5kg and roughly A3 in size this book also exceeds the limits of most budget airline’s carry-on luggage allowances. In a time when office supply companies craft beautifully photographed Instagram campaigns to sell their bulldog clip ranges this book is still best experienced in real life. Available to handle @perimeterbooks and elsewhere!

Available for pre-orders now at Perimeter Editions (perimetereditions.com). We will definitely post more about this Brontosaurus 🦕 of a book but here’s a start –
The major book – and its seriously major – ‘Dale Frank, Artist. Artworks 2006–2023’ features an immense selection of key works produced over the past seventeen years, a period in which Frank has pushed the limits of his output even further, experimenting with new materials including horror masks, human hair wigs, chocolate fountains, designer furniture, and filmmaking. In many instances, traditional paint is replaced with industrial materials such as resin, varnish, glass, epoxies, and fake blood.
Featuring major new texts by Edward Colless, Erik Jensen, Amelia Winata, and Georgina Reid this vast book (and its really vast) operates in a similarly radical fashion. Juxtaposing and layering Frank’s works over British photographer Ben Morris’s frenetic, high-flash images of the artist’s home, studio, and surrounds, the book offers a dazzling, unsteadying encounter with a practice and a life that clash, coalesce, and collapse in on one another.
