This book assembles all the talks and media presented at Aliens & Anorexia: A Chris Kraus Symposium, which took place in March 2013 at the Royal College of Art, London.

Since her first book, I Love Dick, published in 1997, writer and film-maker Chris Kraus has authored a further six books ranging from fiction to art criticism to political commentary, via continental philosophy, feminism, critical and queer theory.

This collection begins to engage with questions Kraus’ work raises: where, if at all, is the line between ‘life’ as private and ‘practice’ as public? How, if one subject is always performing one or other of these, can they be delineated? How does this map onto the relations between other ever blurring not-quite-binaries: artwork and critic, subject and object, masochist and sadist, unknown and known, embodied and disembodied, fiction and criticism?

You Must Make Your Death Public features essays and media by Travis Jeppesen, Helen Stuhr-Rommereim, Hestia Peppé, Samira Ariadad, Beth Rose Caird, Jesse Dayan, Karolin Meunier, Linda Stupart, Lodovico Pignatti Morano, Trine Riel, Rachal Bradley, David Morris, Jonathan Lahey Dronsfield and Chris Kraus.

A Statue is Present

by Travis Jeppesen on April 4, 2015

The show features newly commissioned multi-media works by Mikey Cook, Travis Jeppesen, Jérémie Magar and Daniel Silver, which respond to the statues and bring back their presence under a new, positive meaning.

The project is born under the initiative of David Gryn director of Artprojx, for The Royal College of Psychiatrists.

The exhibition is curated by John Cass MA Curating the Contemporary final year students Caterina Berardi, Becky Edwards, Jack Parrott and Mariaelena Soligo.

Stationary

by Travis Jeppesen on February 18, 2015

Dear reader,

We are delighted to let you know about the publication of a new book project called Stationary, an annual collection of stories by artists, writers, and curators that has been in the works for the past year at Spring Workshop, Hong Kong. Co-edited by Heman Chong and Christina Li, the publication offers a suspended moment to contributors so that they may take stock of and elaborate on their burgeoning ideas, obsessions, and influences. The pieces are written by Ivan Argote, Yiu Fai Chow, Fayen d’Evie, Chris Fitzpatrick, Nav Haq, Sharon Hayes, Rosemary Heather, Malak Helmy, Ho Rui An, Clifford Irving, Travis Jeppesen, James Langdon, Quinn Latimer, Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer, Sean O’Toole, Manfred Pernice, George Szirtes, Taocheng Wang, Yeo Wei Wei, and Adrian Wong.

The book is not for sale; it is only available as a gift handed from person to person or via subscription on our website at www.stationarystories.com. There you can also find information on the content as well as related events that might pass through your neighborhood.

In the spirit of opening up this project to an extended group of people, please feel free to forward this message to friends and colleagues who you think would enjoy receiving a copy of this new collection of stories that arrives wrapped in a special commission by Manfred Pernice.

We look forward to sending you a copy soon.

Warm regards,

Christina, Heman, Janine, Julie, and Mimi
