This anthology of short fiction about contemporary art features six short stories:

Darren O’Donnell fantasizes about hosting a couch-surfing Thomas Hirschhorn, Sam Korman pens a conspiratorial excursion through the paintings of Wayne Gonzales and Anna Gray & Ryan Wilson Paulsen compose a letter to their friendly art rival Ryan Gander. Onya Hogan-Finlay revisits the work of Lee Lozano at Michigan Women’s Festival, Jen Delos Reyes imagines the journeys of three Felix Gonzales Torres’ poster works, and Helen Reed contributes a narrative about a trip to see Andrea Bowers’ Non-violent Civil Disobedience drawings.

Art Criticism & Other Short Stories is a collection of fan fiction for contemporary art & artists, enacting a speculative & playful relationship with objects of desire.
