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

Best itchy soap.
This is has done more for my itching than about anything else. I was skeptical at first because "what works on both eczema and psoriasis?" But this is very effective. The instructions say "let dry out on skin for intensive treatment". I would NEVER let any ordinary soap do that. But this treatment truly works.
It is excellent quality smells nice but scent is subtle and hypoallergenic. It is very emollient. Fair warning: you need to let it sit on your skin for a bit before you rinse it off. It kinda has to soak in before it rinses clean.
And that's the other thing: you feel clean after using it instead of having gunky residue. If you have humid summer skin rash it even helps with that itch. It's very protective of your skin.
If you want it to fit in a portable soap dish it fits a standard container if you cut it in half. It even does that well!

Amazing soap
This is the best soap I’ve ever used to help with my psoriasis and my son’s eczema. It completely helps calm down flare ups and clears it completely leaving our skin soft.

It works!
I can’t believe how well this soap works! It actually relieves the itching and irritation on my neck from eczema. It lathers well and it smells really pleasant without smelling too perfume like. I cut the bar in half so it would be easier to handle. I also appreciate that it is made here in the USA, and surprisingly, it doesn’t dry out my skin like most soaps do. I’m so glad I found this!

Seems to help, but who knows if you only shower 1x a week
Seems to help, not hurt. But I don't shower every other day, so who knows. I will say it melts quickly, way quickly. Might be worth it if you shower every day or so, to get the moisture benefits. For me, I'll just use super moisturizers with Shea butter instead.
