Scope and Contents
The jacket design was done by Richard Eckersley.Diane Davis Amazon.com. Avital Ronell is one of the most provocative, street-savvy, and theoretically sophisticated thinkers of this age. If you've not yet encountered her explosive work (her other books: Dictations, The Telephone Book, Crack Wars, Finitude's Score), Stupidity will most definitely blow you away. And if you are already a die-hard Ronell fan, Stupidity will ... blow you away. (No amount of prep will brace you sufficiently.) Like Ronell's other works, Stupidity offers a kind of post-critical or nonrepresentational analysis, going after a seemingly recognizable and knowable signifier (stupidity) but tracking it so closely that it quickly becomes unrecognizable, exceeding its object-status, overflowing itself as a concept. Explicitly breaking with scholarly tradition, a tradition that over-values mastery and certitude, Ronell engages her "object" of study at the level of its radical singularity, tracking it through poets,...

Subduing Demons in America: Selected Poems 1962-2007, 2008
Item
Identifier: CC-49491-70537
Scope and Contents
Marcus Boon, who edited this book writes, Giorno's late-1960s poems see him expanding the use of found materials, including pornographic and countercultural texts, as well as the use of repetition. Indeed, poems like "Capsule," "Give It to Me, Baby," and "Johnny Guitar" are among the most rock 'n' roll poems ever written, every bit as psychedelic and confrontational as The Stooges or Jefferson Airplane, and probably just as much the product of a wide-ranging armory of pharmaceuticals, which, as Giorno has repeatedly insisted, have the potential to open and expand the mind and bring bliss. Balling Buddha, a multicolor confection printed on pages in the six colors of the rainbow, rather than traditional black on white, introduced Giorno's signature split lines running down the center of each page-as a way of both reproducing the multitracking used in his sound poems and perturbing the linear flow of text on the page. Giorno observes that the split line "breaks the lineal flow....

Susan Hiller / Hiller, Susan., 1996
Item
Identifier: CC-32184-33735
Scope and Contents
In the preface, Nicholas Serota and Lewis Biggs write that Susan Hiller "uses ephemeral, everyday objects, telling their stories and extracting new meanings from them, producing art which is both visually stimulating and emotionally compelling." This major exhibition of Hiller's works brings together several of her major works that require viewer participation, shifting from the whole of the art piece to its particular elements and back again to the whole. One of Hiller's major works was installed in MOMA in the exhibition, "The Museum as Muse," which the Sackners viewed in New York. In it, the artist used ordinary materials to evoke moments of cultural, historical and personal disturbance inspired by Sigmund Freud's last home. Her found elements were boxed, labelled and categorized and placed in a large vitrine. Hiller indicated that the boxes "present the viewer with a word (each is titled), a thing of object, and an image or text of chart, a representation. And the three aspects...

Sweet Dreams; contemporary art and complicity, 2005
Item
Identifier: CC-48338-69363
Scope and Contents
From the inside flap of the book: Johanna Drucker's "sweet dream" is for a new and more positive approach to contemporary art. Drucker argues that contemporary art is fully engaged with material culture"”yet still struggling to escape the oppositional legacy of the early-twentieth-century avant-garde. She calls for a revamping of the critical vocabulary used to discuss art into one more befitting current creative practices.Drucker shows that artists today are aware of working within the ideologies of mainstream culture and have replaced avant-garde resistance with acknowledged complicity. Finding their materials at malls and superstores or exploring celebrity culture, contemporary artists have created a vibrantly playful attitude towards mass culture"”all while critics continue to cling to an outmoded vocabulary of opposition and radical negativity that defined modernism's avant-garde. At the cutting edge of new media research, Drucker surveys a wide range of exciting contemporary...
