Scope and Contents The poems have the appearance and sound quality of Rap Concrete Poetry like those composed by Kenneth Goldsmith.Wikipedia: William "Bill" Keith (January 20, 1929 -- September 1, 2004) was an American artist who began his artistic life as a painter, but moved into photography and visual poetry. His visual poetry ran a full gamut from calligrams inspired by Apollinaire and other early 20th Century French poets to Lettrisme to the Minimalism and Op Art of the 1960s.As his work developed, Keith concentrated increasingly on African and African-American themes and sources. This development toward African roots and branches led away from the Roman alphabet and more toward the store of iconography and symbolism from Egypt to South Africa to the American diaspora. Consequently, Keith developed graphic techniques suggested by textiles, wood carvings, bronze casts, ceramics, and other indigenous arts.An example of Keith's recreation of the substance of his visual style and the very nature of...

Scope and Contents This book deals with the history of sound and sound installations by artists across modern and contemporary art movements. It is noteworthy that Charles Cros, whose works were translated by Laura Aga-Rossi (held by the Sackner Archive), is mentioned with Edison as the co-inventor of the phonograph. Both this instrument and the radio are featured topics in this book.

This book consists of photographic reproductions of photographic portraits done by Neshat that feature Iranian women with calligraphic poetic texts written in Farsi on their uncovered body parts. The first photographic reproduction in this book is entitled "I Am Its Secret" and is held by the Sackner Archive. It is a portrait of Neshat's covered head, wrapped in a black chador, with only her eyes and nose exposed. Her skin is covered with black and red Farsi text written in a circular pattern.In an introductory essay, Francesco Bonami writes that "all the work of Shirin Nesht develops along the border where bigotry and spirituality touch but don't merge." She politicizes the oriental woman who gazes with a seductive innocence that is at the same time extraordinarily shrewd. As the writer Hamid Dabashi states, "From the verbal to the visual, Shirin Neshat turns the body into the written and photographed page of a banned book." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Amazon.com: Wording the Silent Art collects Barbara Caruso's essays on the contemporary art scene, including controversial issues like the National Gallery's purchase of Barnett Newman's Voice of Fire and the recent transformation of public galleries from institutions of preservation to places of pop entertainment and the effect this has on art. She also writes with elegance and verve on the subject of her own painting, on painting practice, and on how to look at visual art. Her generous and wise advice to a young painter is worth the price of this book alone. Caruso's is a unitary, clear, communicating voice, and she brings to the reader a marvellous and accessible vision of the essential nature of art in our lives. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
