Kelly Lake Store & other stories

"Two hours south of the border, we are transported into a parallel universe-a collapsing of time, culture, and space-available, it seems now, to anyone, at the price of absolute poverty." - Chris Kraus In Kelly Lake Store and Other Stories, Chris Kraus continues to blur the boundaries of genre in an exploration of Mexicali border culture, "participant" art, the romance of regionalism, and the relationship between art and real estate. As a writer and co-editor of the highly influential independent press Semiotext(e), Kraus's writing inhabits what Helen Stuhr-Rommereim called the "rare space where art, politics, theory and feelings are all tied up together because, as she continually makes clear, they are always all tied up together."
