Text by Dick Higgins

Forty years ago, following a devastating homophobic response to the artist’s affiliation to, and important contributions towards, the burgeoning art scene invested in exploring sexuality and gender, Michael Morris decided to take a break from Canada and sought refuge in Berlin. Over the course of his first few years in his new home, Michael enjoyed the freedom to sketch the nude male form. This artist book, Morris’s final project, includes nearly 100 images produced between 1982 and 1986 in his home studio, affectionately dubbed Boyopolis."
