Yuzna has curated projects for the 4th Moscow Biennial, and Intermedia Arts. Also know for his film directing, Yuzna was the youngest recipient of a fellowship by the National Endowment for the Arts in filmmaking.

Michael Musto is an American columnist, author, and journalist. He is currently a popular columnist at Gawker.com and Out.com. For over 26 years, Musto wrote the "La Dolce Musto" column in the Village Voice, covering gossip, nightlife, politics, and personal issues.

Iconoclast Genesis Breyer P-Orridge is an English-born singer-songwriter, writer, artist, and cultural engineer. P-Orridge's early confrontational performance work in COUM Transmissions in the late 1960s and early 1970s along with the industrial band Throbbing Gristle, which dealt with subjects such as prostitution, pornography, serial killers, occultism, and P-Orridge's own exploration of gender issues, generated controversy. Later musical work with Psychic TV received wider exposure, including some chart-topping singles. In the 1980s, P-Orridge and performance artist Lady Jaye Breyer began their androgynous life project BREYER P-ORRIDGE wherein they merged their identities through plastic surgery, hormone therapy, and behavioral modification.
The Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) has championed NYC artists working in nightlife since 2011, when it launched THE FUN Fellowship in the Social Practice of Nightlife. THE FUN Fellowship not only gives nightlife artists the opportunity to develop their own practices through financial and logistical support, it also seeks to raise awareness and spark dialogue around nightlife as an art form. MAD explores the intersection between art, design, and craft today with a particular focus on contemporary creativity and the ways in which artists and designers transform materials through processes ranging from the artisanal to digital. Education is at the center of the Museum's mission and Cathleen Lewis, V.P. and Director of Education and Programs, Museum of Arts and Design provides the introduction framing this publication.

-
As NewThe book is pristine and free of any defects, in the same condition as when it was first newly published.

Fine (F)A book in fine condition exhibits no flaws. A fine condition book closely approaches As New condition, but may lack the crispness of an uncirculated, unopened volume.
-
Near Fine (NrFine or NF)Almost perfect, but not quite fine. Any defect outside of shelf-wear should be noted.
-
Very Good (VG)A used book that does show some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Very good items should not have writing or highlighting.
