The Second Dance Song is a book which accompanies the art exhibition of the same name.
Reacting to the essays in the book which cite Nicolas Bourriaud's book 'Postproduction', which talks about works which are created based on existing works, we created a book cover based on Peter Saville's 'Ceremony' album cover design for New Order (1981); which Saville derived from Berthold Wolpe's 'Albertus type speciment' (1937). Similarly, the inside pages are deliberate appropriations of existing paperback publications, with each artist's section represented by a 'readymade' dingbat.
