saké blue. A Conversation with Estelle Hoy

May 22, 2024 | flash---art.com | Chris Kraus

Chris Kraus: saké blue (After 8 Books, 2024) is a beautiful collection of writings on and around visual art, but it’s not like any other art writing I know of – maybe because you come to the art world in a circuitous way. We’ve been in touch for more than eight years, but somehow, we’ve never talked about this. I have a vague sense that you originally worked in social services in Australia and then studied philosophy in Europe. Is that correct? And how did one thing lead to another?

Sep 11, 2023 | flash---art.com | Chris Kraus

Anemoia — the nostalgia for something, future or past, that you’ve never actually known — is a term coined by the poet John Koenig in 2012 in his Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows. A portmanteau word derived from the ancient Greek words for “wind” and “mind,” it suggests an inability to completely inhabit the present.
