Writer and filmmaker, Chris Kraus, is a contributor to C International, Art in America, Index, and other magazines. Her column about the Los Angeles art world for Artext magazine was anthologized in 2004 in Video Green: Los Angeles Art and the Triumph of Nothingness. She co-edits the Semiotext(e) imprint with Sylvere Lotringer and Hedi El-Kholti. Between 1995 and 2002, Kraus taught in the graduate program at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. For this event, she’ll read from Torpor, her latest novel that novelist Michael Tolkin calls “a brilliant study of the moral character of philosophers, the art world, academia, ambition, real estate, sex, orphans and the fall of Romania,” andI Love Dick, her recently re-issued 1997 debut that rigorously tangles the lines between fact and fiction, gossip and theory. http://www.semiotexte.com
