“This is a night novel, but it is not night.” Embedded in this is everything petit cadeau is, which is, in fact, everything: “Layer upon layer of colored time.” This book is a movie and a science fiction road trip and all of sudden, in comic, cosmic bursts, stand up. It contains parts that may remind you of the inner (gorgeous) monologues and disorientation of Wittgenstein’s Mistress, and the golden observations of Speedboat, while it also reminds me of a future I didn’t yet know and can see now I need. Throughout the book’s filmic moments I heard Mannequin and Her and Under the Skin (in addition to the films it names) and I was delighted to greet split seconds of the familiar in this sexy and preternatural world, created by the one and only Claudia La Rocco. – Amanda Nadelberg, author of Songs from a MountainHow do you find yourself when you’re supposed to be someone else? Our protagonist has only just been made, and already there are problems. Irritations. Etcetera.There are also pleasures.

On Value is a collaboration between Triple Canopy and choreographer/artist Ralph Lemon. The book is a multifarious conversation about the value of artworks and the labor and bodies that make them, especially as defined by institutions with whom artists have often had fraught relationships. In essays, poems, interviews and artworks, 19 contributors consider artworks that resist institutional parameters; how and why performers, choreographers and dancers might go about making art institutions into proper venues for their works; and how race figures into assessments of value. On Value emerges from Value Talks, a series of private conversations organized by Lemon in 2013 and 2014 at MoMA.
