In the cloistered environment of an exclusive East Coast college, the young and the restless fall in love while romancing the ghosts of the Baader-Meinhof gang active in 1970s Germany. It\u0026rsquo;s a hilarious send up of the romance genre complete with earnest interjections from the author who supplies historical cliff notes and commentary for the confused. A page-turning tour de force of the dangerous passions and politics of the privileged.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelation of the novel to the artist\u0026rsquo;s practice\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eErin Cosgrove is interested in engaging complex moral, political content. To this end her work has three constants: an excess of content, multiple layers and access points to the content, and satire. The strategy is to create art that is pointed in its subject matter without being a bumper sticker. Cosgrove may use books, videos, drawings, paintings and installation in a single project. Multiple mediums can sustain a narrative playfully\u0026mdash;relaying meaning without being didactic or shallow. She hopes that her work is also a proposal for accessible artwork that is subversive and seductive.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http://erincosgrove.com/ASR/bma.html\"\u003eNovel\u0026#39;s website\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http://printedmatter.org/catalogue/search.cfm?search=Erin%20Cosgrove\"\u003eNovel\u0026#39;s website 2\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":""},{"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"}}]}
