A comprehensive survey of the work of Donald Rodney who, at the time of his death in 1998 aged 36, had produced some of the most engaging, provocative and innovative work by a British artist of his generation.

Autograph was granted unique access to the artist’s private archive in the process of researching this publication, including many previously unpublished images.

Doublethink presents not only the wide range of art forms he employed but also highlights the ways in which self-portraiture and the body were often conduits for wider social and political narratives. It establishes the legacy of an artist who might otherwise have remained overlooked, placing him at the heart of the artistic, social and political contexts in which his work was created.

With a preface by Professor Stuart Hall and essays by Edie Chambers and Virginia Nimarkoh.
