kim dhillon: “counter-texts. language in contemporary art”

Kim Dhillon
Counter-Texts
Language in Contemporary Art

University of Chicago Press, 2022

In Counter-Texts, Kim Dhillon provides a much-needed critical reassessment of written language in contemporary art. Considering the politics, aesthetics, and ethics of language, Dhillon explores artworks that use inscribed language, with a particular focus on works that challenge dominant narratives or that reveal, in visual form, the varied systems of oppression contained within words.

Featuring more than forty artists from diverse backgrounds, including newer artists such as Serena Lee, Abbas Akhavan, and Joi T. Arcand alongside established figures such as Glenn Ligon, Brian Jungen, and Susan Hiller, Dhillon rewrites the understanding of text in contemporary visual art. Counter-Texts explores how and why visual artists use written language, and it interrogates the power held in words.

A CULTURAL HISTORY OF THE AVANT-GARDE IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES
Since 1975
Editors: Benedikt Hjartarson, Tania Ørum, Camilla Skovbjerg Paldam, and Laura Luise Schultz
Brill, 2022

The Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries Since 1975 is the final volume of the four-volume series of cultural histories of the avant-garde movements in the Nordic countries. This volume carries the avant-garde discussion forward to present-day avant-gardes, challenged by the globalisation of the entertainment industries and new interactive media such as the internet. The avant-garde can now be considered a tradition that has been made more widely available through the opening of archives, electronic documentation and new research, which has spurred both re-enactments, revisions and continuations of historical avant-garde practices, while new cultural contexts, political, technological and ecological conditions have called for new strategies.

derek beaulieu: no more poetry that looks like poetry

NO MORE POETRY THAT LOOKS LIKE POETRY, THAT ACTS LIKE POETRY, THAT IS INSTANTLY RECOGNIZABLE AS POETRY; I BELIEVE THAT POETS SHOULD LIKE TO WRITE IN A WAY WHICH DOESN’T RESEMBLE WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE, THEY SHOULD BE ABSOLUTELY CONTEMPORARY IN FORM AND CONTENT.
