Between 2006 and 2025, Bill Drummond is making forty beds in public places around the world. The fourth of these beds was made in Guangzhou, China in December 2010. In China Drummond wrote the text for the book MAN MAKES BED. The book was initially published as a paperback in an edition of just forty copies. These books were sold by Drummond to passers-by while making a bed in a street in Rotterdam, Netherlands in 2011. A final hardback edition was later published; this edition included the Chinese translation, as well as the English text. These copies are now in season for two weeks.
MAN MAKES BED was previously only available directly from Bill Drummond while he made beds on a public street
THIS BOOK IS ABOUT
Bill Drummond making a bed out of wood, in public in the Chinese province of Guangzhou in December 2010. It is also what it is to be a man making a bed and all things that go through ones head while making the bed. It is also about what goes on in beds and on beds and underneath beds and what the bed could be for and why. It is also about other things.
THIS BOOK CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING WORDS:
No I was not a musician, I was a man who made records and right now, I am a man who is making a bed.
And sometimes I am a man who writes words, but I am not an author.
And sometimes I am a man who cooks a meal but I am not a chef.
And sometimes I am a man who fathers children which means I am a father all the time,
wherever I am.
