Derek Henderson is featured in the new issue of Art News New Zealand, in an interview with Emil McAvoy discussing his seminal photobook ‘The Terrible Boredom of Paradise’ — soon to be republished by Compound Press / Daylight Books in a new, expanded edition.

To mark the publication’s return, Melanie Roger Gallery will exclusively host the publication launch in November, alongside an exhibition of works from the series. Further details will be announced here soon.  

The interview also delves into Derek’s wider photographic practice and is a must-read for anyone interested in his work. Pick up a copy of Art News now — and you can’t miss Derek: he’s even made the cover! (Portrait by Darryl Ward, c.1985)
