At once personal, political and forward-thinking, Owens recounts his experiences with Rosalind Krauss and the founding of the journal \u003ci\u003eOctober\u003c\/i\u003e, the \"Pictures Generation\" artists and critics, and his evolving understanding of the art market, and how it impacts the thinking around art itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong the way, he talks about his journey from a small town in Western Pennsylvania to the Off-Broadway theater world of New York in the '70s, and offers insights into his struggles grappling with the aesthetic and political contradictions haunting contemporary art then--as much as now.
