wall of text / stele di testo

Questo nuovo testo dell’infaticabile Peter Ganick mi sembra andare precisamente nella direzione del concetto di “installazione” / blocco o stele di testo di cui spesso si è parlato facendo riferimento ai post su hotelstendhal.blogsome.com o alla pièce di Novarina tradotta da Andrea Raos, su Nazione indiana (più volte citata in vari miei interventi):

The new ebook from Argotist Ebooks is “An Archaeology of Theory”
by Peter Ganick

Description:

What is a text? After John Coltrane’s “wall of sound”, we have here a “wall
of text”. What does making sense entail? Is it in the words themselves
and/or the sequence of words? In “An Archaeology of Theory”, Peter Ganick
suggests both and neither in true spatial reference. Energy is space is a
version here-to-be-read.

New : INTERNATIONAL FLUXHIBITION #3 : call for participation

Call for Works

FLUXHIBITION #3
JULY, 2009
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fluxhibition #3 – Boxes, Cases, Kits and Containers

Dear Cecil,
Fluxhibition #2 was a great success thanks to all of the great contributions see the catalog at: http://fluxmuseum.org/
I had planned on Fluxhibition #3 being in 2010 HOWEVER a venue become available for this summer. There is a current Collage Museum call out for an exhibition entitled Thinking Inside of the Box – A Survey of Box Assemblage Art see: (http://collagemuseum.com/thinking-box-call-for-works.html) Deadline May 15th ( PARTICIPATE IN THIS ONE TOO!).

I thought that, since I was able to secure the university venue, it would be great to invite my fluxfriends to contribute a fluxbox for Fluxhibition #3 and later I will combine the two bodies of box works for an additional exhibit later in 2009 or in 2010. So your Fluxbox contribution will get at least double exposure.

SPREAD THE WORD

 Shaman showman Alighiero e Boetti

Niente da vedere niente da nascondere

con interventi di Jonathan Monk e Maurizio Cattelan

un volume di 230 pagine e un dvd
Luca Sossella Editore
ISBN 88-89829-06-0

Shaman showman Alighiero e Boetti. II punto di vista della compagna dell’artista nei primi vent’anni di una carriera appassionante ma troppo breve.

L’autodefinizione di shaman showman si è rivelata lungimirante come quella “e” che sdoppiando la sua identità lo rese infinitamente multiplo.

Niente da vedere niente da nascondere. Un film di 60 minuti realizzato nel 1978 sull’opera di Alighiero Boetti.

Il film alterna riprese nelle sale del museo svizzero e nello studio dell’artista a Roma, interviste, letture, musica e silenzi.
