A new publication from Art Editions North, Wrongteous is a limited edition 160pp hardback book, with colour plates, which incorporates existing and newly commissioned UK and international visual art and fiction writing. Published September 2008.

The works of visual art and short fiction in Wrongteous – spanning one hundred years, various artistic styles and media – are reminders of the longstanding relevance of subtle but profound unease to the making of art. The works often speak of moral uncertainty and social and personal malaise, but they are never sensational or gratuitous, and use seemingly traditional forms or techniques to speak of deeply troubling modern anxieties. The intention is to allow the works within Wrongteous to create relationships with each other that are not prescribed by a narrow thematic conceit or any simple geographical or formal connection between the artists or works.

The collection is edited by artists Leo Fitzmaurice and Paul Rooney.
