{"product_id":"9781936440665","title":"The Best Most Useless Dress : Selected Writings of Claudia La Rocco","description":"\u003cp\u003eWidely known as an incisive critic for \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eArtforum\u003c\/i\u003e, Claudia La Rocco is also a poet and performer whose hybrid texts are as mercurial and imaginative as her criticism. \u003ci\u003eThe Best Most Useless Dress\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the breadth and depth of La Rocco's art, encompassing a decade's worth of poetry, essays, performance texts and reviews. These writings explore how movement and rhythm—in time, through space, across bodies, on the page—engender experience itself. Jay Sanders, curator of performing arts at the Whitney, writes: \"Claudia La Rocco's impactful writing sketches its performing subjects in real time, depicting not only the character of work, but the conditions in which it collectively forms and exists. Here the spaces of New York performance and the spaces of critical writing reveal themselves anew.\" The book includes an introduction by poet Elizabeth Robinson.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"D.A.P.\/Distributed Art Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061149516016,"sku":"9781936440665","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781936440665_p0.jpg?v=1763659612","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781936440665","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
