"You are invited to take an art class with the master of aesthetic curiosity, Nick Bantock. Urgent 2nd Class is an inspirational handbook for making art by embellishing and tampering with old documents, maps, postcards, scraps, envelopes, and other ephemera. Written in Bantock's ebullient, intimate prose and featuring numerous visual samples, Urgent 2nd Class shows how to alchemically transform the unexpected into your own idiosyncratic art.
