Description
This collection of essays explores the intersection of art and everyday life. Chris Kraus draws on her own experiences as well as conversations with friends to examine the ways in which artistic practices are shaped by circumstance, desire, and coincidence.
Through profiles of artists such as Jason Rhoades and Yayoi Kusama, Kraus considers how art can be understood as a form of social practice. Her book is not a critique of this genre, but rather an argument for its importance in understanding the ways in which art reflects and shapes our lives.
With essays that range from critiques of contemporary art to personal reflections on Kraus's own life, Social Practices offers a nuanced exploration of the complex relationships between art, culture, and society.
