From 2003 till the end of his life, he had no home of his own, instead traveling from city to city to live as the guest of others. He lived--as he himself used to say, paraphrasing Duchamp and Derrida--the life of a \"guest, host, ghost.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis publication focuses on Niesluchowski's homeless years, and features his email correspondence with close friends, many of whom are remarkable artists and intellectuals; artworks made about, or in partnership with, Niesluchowski; and documentation of his travels. This material offers a complex picture of a radical, transcultural existence, with contributions from Barry Schwabsky and Carol Szymanski, Bettina Funcke, Joan Jonas, Michael Taussig, Raymond Pettibon, Rebecca Quaytman and many more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sina Najafi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1932698841\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781932698848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cabinet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Sina Najafi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44132010787071,"sku":"9781932698848","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_718afb0b-d84d-44e7-a8c4-35e668174f2a.jpg?v=1687477705","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/and-warren-niesluchowski-was-there-sina-najafi-9781932698848","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
