Author
C. Kraus
Year
2015
This collection gathers talks and essays from a 2013 symposium on the writer Chris Kraus, engaging with themes in her work such as the blurred line between private life and public practice, and between fiction, criticism and art.
You Must Make Your Death Public collects the talks and contributions presented at Aliens & Anorexia: A Chris Kraus Symposium, held at the Royal College of Art in London in March 2013. Since her first book, I Love Dick (1997), Chris Kraus has written across fiction, art criticism, political commentary, continental philosophy, feminism and queer theory, and this collection engages with questions her work raises, among them where the line falls between private life and public practice, and how the boundaries between artwork and critic, subject and object, or fiction and criticism keep blurring. It brings together essays and media from contributors including Travis Jeppesen, Helen Stuhr-Rommereim and Hestia Peppé, alongside Kraus herself. Credits: Kraus, C. (2015).
