From 2003 till the end of his life, he had no home of his own, instead traveling from city to city to live as the guest of others. He lived--as he himself used to say, paraphrasing Duchamp and Derrida--the life of a \"guest, host, ghost.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis publication focuses on Niesluchowski's homeless years, and features his email correspondence with close friends, many of whom are remarkable artists and intellectuals; artworks made about, or in partnership with, Niesluchowski; and documentation of his travels. This material offers a complex picture of a radical, transcultural existence, with contributions from Barry Schwabsky and Carol Szymanski, Bettina Funcke, Joan Jonas, Michael Taussig, Raymond Pettibon, Rebecca Quaytman and many more.","brand":"Cabinet Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040290291952,"sku":"9781932698848","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781932698848_p0.jpg?v=1763639802","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781932698848","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
