Their practice unfolds through law, architecture and lived systems rather than discrete objects. The artist often operates in real time and in public view, embracing uncertainty, risk and contradiction as generative conditions. \u003ci\u003eHow To Talk Dirty and Influence People\u003c\/i\u003e offers a comprehensive overview of Carroll's work since the 1980s. Bringing together performance documentation, new critical essays, commissioned fiction and poetry and conversations with the artist, this publication presents the oeuvre of an artist whose work insists that speech, negotiation and persistence are powerful tools for reshaping social reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Ellen Carroll\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dancing Foxes Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.80h x 8.30w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781954947221","brand":"Dancing Foxes Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48793967067273,"sku":"9781954947221","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_cd71b063-2b34-46d4-bf51-4d0e0904ade3.jpg?v=1793143439","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/mary-ellen-carroll-how-to-talk-dirty-and-influence-people-9781954947221","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
