Ed Templeton's Wires Crossed is a captivating blend of memoir and documentation that delves into the vibrant DIY, punk-infused skateboarding subculture that emerged in the 1990s and early 2000s. With an abundance of photographs, collages, texts, maps, and other ephemera from Templeton's journals, the book offers an intimate glimpse into a subculture in the process of formation, while also reflecting the distinct aesthetic stamp that originated from the skate world he played a significant role in creating. Templeton's unique position encompasses his roles as a professional skateboarder, a two-time World Skateboarding champion, and a photographer and artist within the skateboard community. His work initially gained recognition as part of the Beautiful Losers collective, which was loosely associated with Aaron Rose's Alleged Gallery on Manhattan's Lower East Side.
This captivating collection, much of which has remained unpublished and unseen until now, explores Templeton's personal journey as an image maker, as well as the lives of professional skateboarders as they embarked on extensive tours, reveling in their newfound celebrity status and the relentless pursuit of new skateable terrain. Interviews between Templeton and fellow pro-skaters and friends provide insightful details about the challenges and rewards of life on the road, as well as the obsessive nature of pursuing an art form, whether on their decks or behind the camera.
Wires Crossed is a testament to Templeton's exceptional talent and dedication to his craft, offering a captivating and immersive experience for readers who are passionate about skateboarding, art, and the culture that surrounds them.
