"In Where Art Belongs, Chris Kraus examines artistic enterprises of the past decade that reclaim the use of lived time as a material in the creation of visual art. In four interlinked essays, Kraus expands the argument begun in her earlier book Video Green that 'the art world is interesting only insofar as it reflects the larger world outside it.' Moving from New York to Berlin to Los Angeles to the Pueblo Nuevo barrio of Mexicali, Kraus addresses such subjects as the ubiquity of video, the legacy of the 1960s Amsterdam underground newspaper Suck, and the activities of the New York art collective Bernadette Corporation. She examines the uses of boredom, poetry, privatized prisons, community art, corporate philanthropy, vertically integrated manufacturing, and discarded utopias, revealing the surprising persistence of microcultures within the matrix"--Publisher's description.

The first authorized biography of postmodernism's literary hero, Kathy Acker. Acker's life was a fable; and to describe the confusion and love and conflicting agendas behind these memorials would be to sketch an apocryphal allegory of an artistic life in the late twentieth century. It is girls from which stories begin, she wrote in her last notebook. And like other lives, but unlike most fables, it was created through means both within and beyond her control. Rich girl, street punk, lost girl and icon scholar, stripper, victim, and media-whore: The late Kathy Acker's legend and writings are wrapped in mythologies, created mostly by Acker herself. Twenty years after her death, Acker's legend has faded, making her writing more legible.In this first, fully authorized, biography, Chris Kraus approaches Acker both as a writer and as a member of the artistic communities from which she emerged. At once forensic and intimate, After Kathy Acker traces the extreme discipline and literary strategies Acker used to develop her work, and the contradictions she longed to embody. Using exhaustive archival research and ongoing conversations with mutual colleagues and friends, Kraus charts Acker's movement through some of the late twentieth century's most significant artistic enterprises. Beginning in her mid-teens, Acker lived her ideal of the Great Writer as Cultural Hero, and as Kraus argues, she may well have been the only female writer to succeed in assuming this role. She died of untreated cancer at an alternative clinic in Tijuana when she was fifty years old, but the real pathos of Acker's life may have been in the fact that by then she'd already outlived her ideal.

Al meer dan 60 jaar geeft de verbitterde Traude pianolessen in een vrouwengevangenis. Deze jarenlange regelmaat wordt verstoord wanneer een nieuwe gevangene haar intrede doet. De nieuweling, Jenny, blijkt naast een agressieve en explosieve persoonlijkheid ook een waar wonderkind op de piano. Aanvankelijk verloopt de omgang tussen Traude en Jenny zeer stroef, maar naarmate de pianolessen vorderen en de tijd verstrijkt lijken de twee elkaar steeds meer te ontdekken. Vier Minuten is een verhaal over macht en vrijheid, regels en mensen, onschuldig veroordeelden en onverwerkte verledens. Vooral dankzij het spel van de beide pittige, langzaam ontdooiende dames is dit een beklijvende film geworden waar alles draait rond muziek, emotie en intensiteit. De film maakt een ware zegetocht langs filmfestivals en werd tijdens de Deutscher Filmpreizen terecht uitgeroepen tot Beste Film.
