"20 Ans de Merde / 20 Years of Shit" 

An uncompromising and exhausting 230+ page survey of drawings, photos, writings and ephemera from this Paris-based artist. Compiled from books and mailings of thousands of papers sent by the longtime publisher of Elles Sont de Sortie ("wiz Pascal Doury -Dead Now- begun in 1976"). Bruno Richard has made over 62 self-published books and booklets that are "non-institutional" (often by force and because they have been refused publication) "kind of dirty artist books, named by default, marginal, kind of underground projects." Taken from twenty years of taboo-smashing, obsessions and perversions, terrorist love, sexy police, white & black vomit, banal suicide, sex and death maladi, afrikan baohaos, catholic pornography, dirty love autopsies, nazi tortures, and dead end loves. "Kind of dirty" is the  understatement of a lifetime.
