Book desription: Halifax, NS, Canada: Press of the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design, 1981. Spiral-bound wraps. First edition Good plus with wear at the spiral binding, creases to the cover and a small chip out the corner of the corner. The second section is printed on a heavy glossy paper, there is rub-off on the pages opposite the photos. There is a dime-sized stain on the half title page. 89 pages; b&w photographic plates and reproductions through out; 11 x 8 inches. In 3 Works, Rosler braids together three pieces tracing the ways in which photography's aesthetic conventions and social practices fail or succeed in generating socially meaningful work--work that not only takes into account the political conditions within which it was produced and assumes social and political responsibility but also activates the viewer. The three works are The Restoration of High Culture in Chile, a 1972 piece that examines the degrees of political anaesthesia and corruption a successful adaptation to high culture implies; The Bowery in Two Inadequate Descriptive Systems, a 1974 photo work in which contemporary urban photography's capacity to continue documentary photography's historical work is questioned; and In, Around, and Afterthoughts (on Documentary Photography), a 1981 essay exploring these questions more systematically.
