Produktbeschreibung

After a six page introduction and a 2 page forward by Liz Ross, there are approximately 72 illustrations from drawings I have been inspired to do from political events over the last 6 to 10 years. Pages and different sections that add together to give an idea of the last decade of neoliberalism in Australia with a bit of the world thrown in. Events so bizarre they really defy logic. I have concentrated on some of the outcomes for Australia through a brief outlining of events and cartoons.

Neoliberalism

In the fifties when Milton Friedman and the Chicago school advocated for cutting all utilities and services owned by the people and supported by the government so the free market, unfettered by government restrictions and social programs, would be able to create these services and improve the countries economic prosperity, he was seen as a crank. Later in the seventies and eighties these policies were adopted in America and the UK. Not long after it became the global economic and social hegemony, leading to a speeding up of climate change, social inequality while furthering the massive wealth gap between workers and their elite capitalists owners.

Autorenporträt

Nick Robertson worked in ad agencies, a tv studio, a government publishing service and as a freelance designer. In 2005 he completed his Diploma of Education and a certificate in fine art. "I have always been interested in ideas as much as art. Commercial design is problem solving for others and when this became less and less satisfying, I moved on to solving them for myself. I like to observe the social and political landscape as much as the natural environment and there are many connections between these worlds. The world of man and the world of nature and how one affects the other, this metabolic rift is a rich vein of subject matter. The human cycle of endless destruction and creation. The search for a true identity unfettered by the surrounding forms and social structures has so far alluded us. The 'Tragedy of the Commons' and how we remain dominated by the conflict of competition and never the greater human experience of cooperation are just some of the things I wish to explore."
