Description

A unique collaboration between the Whitney Museum of American Art, Printed Matter, Inc., and ArsenalAdvance, this is a 'faux' science-fiction novel. Each chapter is written by a different contributor, all of whom create fantastic stories that simultaneously work within and outside the genre. It is the story of an art exhibition in the distant future, the biennale of a future civilisation. Throughout it all, art, fiction, and the act of imagination are taken to task, resulting in a book that is both satirical and forward-thinking.
