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\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cabinet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781932698848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272","brand":"Sina Najafi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52085598486709,"sku":"9781932698848","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_b6e13e97-8262-4b86-9bd7-941c974e990a.jpg?v=1765294651","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/and-warren-niesluchowski-was-there-guest-host-ghost-9781932698848","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
