Hello, The following event may be of interest to you: Chris Kraus - Art Writing Thursday, September 19, 2013 Visiting the LA Art Book Fair, realize that “art” books no longer necessarily about visual art … in fact, most are not. “Art” now connotes something else, a non-commercial cultural product … Art projects like Rolling Jubilee, K Hole, Care of Editions might once have been perceived through the lens of activism … Ability of conceptual art projects to reflect and concretize the abstraction of capital’s flows … conceptual art being perhaps best medium through which to perceive something as conceptual and abstract as capital … Film, theater, literature, poetry, experimental music and dance disappear as separate disciplines with no distribution/revenue structures left to support them, and migrate into the art world … the strengths and weaknesses of this situation.Chris Kraus is a writer and critic based in Los Angeles. Her most recent novel is Summer of Hate. In 2012, she co-curated the exhibition Radical Localism: Art, Media and Culture from Pueblo Nuevo’s Mexicali Roseat Artists Space with Richard Birkett and Marco Vera.
