Open Rehearsal | Joss Lake

Joss Lake presents his fictional work to the public in an open rehearsal. The book is a dual fiction and non-fiction project in which murder causes a shift in consciousness. This work responds directly to the section that catalogues dead bodies in Roberto Bolanos 2666.

Joss Lake is a novelist interested in expanding the form by de/re-stabilizing gender, time, and the boundaries between the self and other. The artist has completed a novel, Leon: A Romance, in which the narrator falls in love in revolutionary Cairo and contends with a family legacy of dropping into other peoples memories. The artist completed an MFA in fiction at Columbia University and serves as Senior Editor of Conjunctions, a journal of innovative writing published by Bard College. Lake has been in residence at Art Farm in Marquette, Nebraska, and currently lives in Queens, NY.
