Wingdom / Keith, Bill ; Garnier P ; Grumman B., 1993

 Item
Identifier: CC-08061-8221
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...

 Item
Identifier: CC-07945-8099
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. Includes discussion of artistic languages such as zaum and glossolalia (used by Artaud), precursors to sound poetry.Between the Covers Review: Wireless Imagination directly addresses what is perhaps the most conspicuous silence in contemporary theory and art criticism, the silence that surrounds the polyphonous histories of audio and radio art. By gathering both original essays and several newly translated documents into a single volume, editors Douglas Kahn and Gregory Whitehead provide a close audition to some of the most telling and soundful moments in the "deaf century", including the fantastic acoustic scenarios...
