Cleaning the House

"We are used to cleaning the outside house, but the most important house to clean is yourself–your own house–which we never do." First edition of Marina Abramovi ’s scrapbook-inspired artist’s book. Titled after a scene from her live performance piece "Biography" (1994), and a workshop she organized to create "internal resets," Cleaning the House comprises photos of places, objects, and people alongside associative autobiographical text relating to Abramovi ’s travels and creative vision. Produced in collaboration with Dutch art historian and curator Johan Pijnappel. Illustrated with color plates. Price sticker to upper flap. Fine. Item #11971
