Her goal is to seduce and be seduced in the midst of her art. Its combination of soft-core pornography, nomadic mobility, and art easily grasped by the public touches on the chief stereotypes of the art market of the \u0026lsquo;90s. \u003cem\u003eHeartways \u003c/em\u003eis the turgid, winsome tale of Genny O, a youthful innocent who is fated to everlasting virginity. Despite all efforts to the contrary, each deflowering is her first time. With both drama and humor, we encounter Genny O as she tries to find what she is lacking in the arms of her artist object of desire. \u003cem\u003eHeartways \u003c/em\u003e is the brain child of internationally acclaimed artist Rita McBride. Emulating a novel, each chapter is written by a different contributor (John Baldessari, Erin Cosgrove, Douglas Coupland, Fabio, Michele Hierholzer, Rita McBride, Jennifer Nelson, Cate Rimmer, Joe Scanlan, Kimberly Sexton, Kathy Slade and Michael Turner), all of whom create romantic tableaux that simultaneously work within and outside literary conventions.

The result is a funny, tragic and poignant portrayal of desire, fantasy and frustration in the international art world. Each author was solicited with a letter of invitation to consider writing as Gina Ashcraft, the fictitious site specific installation artist. Each author was asked to write in the first person, begin and end each chapter with a coming and going of location, and to include sex.

Haar doel is verleiden en verleid worden temidden van haar kunst. De belangrijkste clich\u0026eacute;\u0026rsquo;s van de kunstmarkt van de jaren 90 worden aangeraakt dankzij de combinatie van softcore-pornografie, nomadische mobiliteit en kunst die gemakkelijk door het publiek wordt gevat. \u003cem\u003eHeartways \u003c/em\u003e is het gezwollen, innemende verhaal van Genny O, een onschuldige jongedame die gedoemd is tot eeuwige maagdelijkheid. Ondanks alle inspanningen tot het tegendeel, is elke ontmaagding haar eerste keer. Met zowel drama als humor zien we hoe Genny O zoekt wat haar tekortkomt in de armen van haar kunstenaarsvoorwerp van verlangen. \u003cem\u003eHeartways \u003c/em\u003e is het geesteskind van de internationaal gerenommeerde kunstenares Rita McBride. Verderbouwend op de romanvorm werden de hoofdstukken geschreven door telkens andere medewerkers (John Baldessari, Erin Cosgrove, Douglas Coupland, Fabio, Michele Hierholzer, Rita McBride, Jennifer Nelson, Cate Rimmer, Joe Scanlan, Kimberly Sexton, Kathy Slade and Michael Turner), die romantische tableaus cre\u0026euml;ren die simultaan binnen en buiten de literaire conventies werken.

Elke auteur werd met een uitnodigingsbrief gevraagd om te overwegen om te schrijven als Gina Ashcraft, de fictionele kunstenares van plaatsgebonden installaties. Er werd de auteurs gevraagd om vanuit de ik-persoon te schrijven, om elk hoofdstuk te beginnen en te be\u0026euml;indigen met een komen en gaan van locatie, en om seks in te voegen. De titel van de tentoonstelling, Naked Came the Stranger, komt van een extreem succesvolle softcore-roman door een een anonieme groep journalisten aan het eind van de jaren 60.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http://www.printedmatter.org/catalogue/moreinfo.cfm?title_id=77152\"\u003eNovel\u0026#39;s website\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":1876,"name":"Erin Cosgrove ","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}},{"id":919,"name":"Rita McBride","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
