Unpack the Catalog Essay – Nate Larson’s “Small Magic” at MAP

Chris Kraus’ book of essays Video Green is easing me through this work week, but at first her references to international travel and upper-echelon art world connections made me sour. When I went to catch the production of Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical ...
