She has written numerous articles, catalogue essays and reviews, including 'The Appended Subject: Race and Identity as Digital Assemblage' in Race in Cyberspace (1999), 'Installation Art', Encyclopaedia of Aesthetics (1998). Author's Residence: Santa Cruz (California, USA) Kim Gordon (Interview) is the bass player and vocalist for the punk band Sonic Youth, which she founded in New York with Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo. Originally an installation artist and critic, she now writes the lyrics for the band, which deal with feminist issues such as rape, sexual harassment, anorexia and the beauty culture. She is credited with inspiring the 'Riot Grrl' movement in the late 1980s and produced Hole's first album Pretty on the Inside (1991).

Liked the artist, Cendrars worked across various disciplines; the chosen text was a collaborative artists' work with Sophie Tauber-Arp. The Artist's Writings includes a cut-up of key conversations the artist has published since 1991, specially created with the artist for this volume. Artist's Residence: New York

One of the top masters of art today.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Christian Marclay is one of the most original and vital of artist/musicians active in the late 20th Century and up to this minute (2011 and beyond). His work explores the connections between visual and audio arts, and how they inform and transform each other. His work is unlike anything anyone has ever conceived or imagined, and it brings both visuals and sound together in ways that expand our awareness and imagination of both. This book ably documents his work, giving us insights into his working concepts and methods. A highly entertaining read, and a vastly informative addition to any art library.
