Ralph Rumney, an English painter, was one of the founding members of the Situationist International. His membership didn't last long - Guy Debord politely excluded him after less than a year, accusing him (wrongly) of failing to complete a projected psychogeography of Venice - but his association with radical movements in art and politics has never ended. In London, Paris and Venice, his travelling companions have included Yves Klein and Marcel Duchamp, Georges Bataille and William Burroughs, Félix Guattari and E. P. Thompson. All are recalled in the interviews here, which trace an extraordinary career dedicated to revolt and provide a passionate account of a work in progress by a man who has never accepted the division between art and life.
