Probing the surface of art-critical buzzwords, Chris Kraus brilliantly chronicles how the City of Angels has suddenly become the epicenter of the international art world and a microcosm of the larger culture. Why is Los Angeles so completely divorced from other realities of the city? Shrewd, analytic and witty, \u003ci\u003eVideo Green\u003c\/i\u003e is to the Los Angeles art world what Roland Barthes' Mythologies were to the society of the spectacle: the live autopsy of a ghost city.\u003c\/p\u003eIdiosyncratic, scattered and compelling, Kraus's take on L.A. and its art is decidedly and wonderfully nonstandard.—\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e—\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eKraus predictably... plunges into [Los Angeles's] 'not-thereness' headfirst and takes the reader with her down every rabbit hole.\u003c\/p\u003e—\u003cb\u003eMasha Gutkin \u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Bay Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e—\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike all the great chroniclers of Los Angeles, Chris Kraus observes the city's emptiness, possibility and hallucination of meaning.
