WAILED - Tapa blanda

"Robin Nishio represents a unique class of visual artist- those whom are adept in digital media and exhibit equal versatility working in more traditional means with a hands on approach." -- Nguyen Le, intelligence Magazine "Fifty years from now, this book will provide context for a particular period of art and artists. Whether that context will be part of a continuum, or whether it will be of interest because of its status as an extinct phenomenon is an open question, but this book shows that documenting this period is important." -- Rob Clough, High-Low "As someone used to working behind the scenes to make clients look good, Robin's cultivated anonymity serves him well here. On the one hand, he provides a way in for us, the voracious fly on the wall." -- Nicholas Brown, Canadian curator based in Brooklyn, NY
