Mutual Assured Destruction is the first major book on Australian artist Tony Garifalakis’s work. This volume gives a comprehensive insight into the artist’s practice, including his well-known ‘Cover Ups’ and ‘Mob Rule’ series, as well as important early photocopied works and wall paintings, and rarely seen works from the archives. The book features essays by Melbourne-based cultural studies scholar Nikos Papastergiadis and Mexico City–based curator Daniel Garza Usabiaga, and an extensive interview with the artist by Melbourne-based curator Mark Feary.
