Produktinformationen "Escape to Berlin"
A long-overdue English edition of Piper's memoir chronicling the story of her emigration from the US to BerlinIn 2005 American artist and philosopher Adrian Piper (born 1948) secretly emigrated from the United States. Several months passed before anyone realized she had disappeared. She resurfaced in Berlin and has lived there ever since. Piper has consistently and firmly refused to return to the US or explain why she left. Many assume it was because she discovered her name on the Transportation Security Administration's Suspicious Travelers watchlist. Others point to Wellesley College's forcible termination of her tenured full professorship. Yet others speculate that George W. Bush's presidency, or American racism, or the invasion of Iraq compelled her to leave. All these conjectures are groundless. Escape to Berlin: A Travel Memoir is a gripping autobiographical narrative that provides a full account of the facts from the artist herself. Previously out of print, this essential memoir returns in English for fans of the beloved conceptualist to discover and enjoy anew.
