Published on the occasion of Damien Hirst’s exhibition at L&M Gallery, New York, October 2010, the first ever medicine cabinets book is contextualised by the artist’s following of the punk movement. The first twelve sculptures in the book are named after the title tracks on the Sex Pistols’ Never Mind the Bollocks album. Hirst’s medicine cabinets have long been described as temples of medicinal hierarchies providing nothing more than a short-term cure in the face of death. The publication features a radio broadcast interview between Damien Hirst and Steve Jones, the Sex Pistols’ guitarist, covering music, girls, money, drugs, drinks and smokes.
