Performing the Archive: The Transformation of the Archive in Contemporary Art from Repository of Documents to Art MediumInstead of smoothing over contemporary art's violent and iconoclastic dimensions, instead of sanitizing and making complex artworks docile in terms of archival possibilities, this book suggests we abandon our fantasy of mastery over representation and respond in kind to the archive as artwork, to "living" archives, and to reenactments of history with their seamless connections between fiction and non fiction.

Instead of smoothing over contemporary art's violent and iconoclastic dimensions, instead of sanitizing and making complex artworks docile in terms of archival possibilities, this book suggests we abandon our fantasy of mastery over representation and respond in kind to the archive-as-artwork, to "living" archives, and to reenactments of history with their seamless connections between fiction and non-fiction. Among the concepts examined are Vil m Flusser's techno-imagination, Lygia Clark's and H lio Oiticica's participatory aesthetics, and Paulo Bruscky's and Eduardo Kac's literal performances of the archive. They contribute to the erosion of the archive's former boundaries, stability, function, and meaning. Writing alongside the artists as much as about them, Osthoff examines the archive mise-en-abyme, as it grows increasingly recombinant and generative. Simone Osthoff received her Ph.D. from the European Graduate School and is Associate Professor of Critical Studies in the School of Visual Arts at Pennsylvania State University. An art critic and historian of contemporary art, her numerous essays, focusing on media art practices and issues of historiography, have been published internationally and translated into over eight languages.Binding Type: Paperback

Long lasting soap, worth the cost, smells great
Scent: Citrus + Eucalyptus, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I love Huron's products. Yeah, this soap is a little pricier than most, but it has one of my favorite scents from any bar soap, the Citrus + Eucalyptus. In fact, I’ve already bought the cologne of that scent.
The fact that these bars are triple milled makes it worth every penny. It really does last longer.
Having now tried the Sea Salt + Driftwood bar soap, I also like this fragrance, but not quite as much as the Citrus + Eucalyptus. It's a little warmer/earthier in fragrance, so consider that if you're looking for strictly fresh and light. A little more expensive than most off the shelf brands of soap, but worth it in my opinion.

Leaves the hubby feeling clean and fresh!
Scent: Citrus + Eucalyptus, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
My husband loves trying new soaps. He looks for a few things when selecting one: (1) a great smell, (2) a good lather, and (3) after use, a clean feeling. He found that this soap (by Huron) does have a unique smell. It is a blend of citrus and eucalyptus, which is a little different from other soaps that he has tried in the past. He found that this soap lathers well, but warns that it does get really slippery (which could be the result of the shape). And he has also found that following a hard workout and showering, his skin feels clean. This produce does not include any of the bad stuff like parabens, phthalates, silicone, aluminum or sulfate. And he has not noticed any itching, dryness or irritation (on his skin) after using this product. Overall, he recommends it.
