Romance artístico

by Chris Kraus, Lia Quezada (Translator)

Chris Kraus escribe novelas y hace crítica cultural. En uno y otro género, elige la primera persona del singular. Le interesan las comunidades artísticas fronterizas, el arte procesual y ultraconceptual. Traducidos por primera vez al español, estos ensayos presentan una forma de escribir sobre arte que no se limita a lo técnico o teórico: narran la relación de la escritora con la obra o el artista, colocándose entre el ejercicio etnográfico, el diario personal y la crónica.
