Franklin St. Chicago, IL 60610 For Nicolas Slonimsky Cher maître PREFACE It takes approximately twenty years to make an artistic curiosity out of a modernistic monstrosity, and another twenty to elevate it to a masterpiece. — Nicolas Slonimsky, Lexicon of Musical Invective (1953) M y principal reason for doing a book of this title would be to defend the continuing relevance of the epithet "avant-garde,” which frequently appears in my own critical writing. A second reason is that 1 enJoy reading dictionaries myself and own a goodly number of them; but as my library lacks a dictionary of avant-gardes, the first reader for any book of that title would be myself. A third reason is that I’ve come to think there is only one art, called Art, and thus that dance, literature, etc., are merely academic categories, designed to make tKe history and the material of Art more accessible to beginners. My basic measures of avant-garde work are esthetic innovation and initial unacceptability. Add to this my own taste for art that is extreme, unique, distinct, coherent, witty, technological, and esthetically reso­ nant. (An artist’s courage in the choice of subJect, such as scatology, say, or child abuse, is not avant-garde if the artist’s esthetic is traditional. Nor is the first play by a three-handed dwarf avant-garde by virtue of the peculiarities of its author.) It follows that the most consequential artists, in any medium, are those who make genuine discoveries about the possibilities of art. Chough one often hears about “the death of the avant-garde,” usually from publicists with cemeteries to defend, it is not the purpose of this book to engage in an argument I take to be Talmudic at best. ix x Preface Though most entries feature contemporary avant-garde activities, maJor historical figures, some of whom worked two centuries ago, are acknowledged as well. Though the epithet “avant-garde” is applicable to other cultural domains, they are not covered here. Proclaiming the avant-garde’s death is no less disreputable than the claim, from another corner, of one or another group to represent “the avant-garde” to the exclusion of all others. In this book are entries on individuals representing opposed positions, if not contrary esthetics, both avant-garde. Trained in cultural history, I think I can discern the future from the past; and because I don’t often read newsprint, I can claim an ignorance of, if not resistance to, fashions of many kinds. One principle behind my writing about the avant-garde in one art is an authority gained from familiarity with avant-garde work in other arts. This book is admittedly biased, not only in Judgments but in selec­ tions, because it is impossible to write about the avant-gardes, with any integrity and excellence, without seeming opinionated. (If you don’t like opinions, well, you’re welcome to read the telephone directory.) Be­ cause this book was written not just to be consulted but to be read from beginning to end, it eschews abbreviations that interrupt attention. I w ould have liked to do more entries on avant-garde artists new to the 1980s and 1990s, those born after 1950, who are true heroes at a time when the idea of an esthetic vanguard has been subJected to all sorts of Philistine attack, and apologize now to those individuals, whoever you are, whose names will be featured in future editions. Most of this book was written in several months, drawing mostly upon my memory and sometimes upon earlier reviews and notes that were generally made when I first experienced something. In writing critically about art (or in editing anthologies), I have learned to trust my memory to separate the strongest work from everything else. One reason for so much faith in memory is that it does not lie to me, which is to say that no matter my personal feelings toward the artist, no matter what reviews of his or her work I might have read, no matter what other factors might try to influence me, if 1 cannot remember an artist’s work distinctly,

  • Moma's RENOWNED COLLECTION of PAINTING and SCULPTURE
    MoMA’S RENOWNED COLLECTION OF PAINTING AND SCULPTURE RETURNS TO VIEW IN ELEGANT AND EXPANSIVE GALLERIES Inaugural Installation in Newly Expanded Building Presents Key Movements, Artists, and Styles that Shaped the Evolution of Modern and Contemporary Art New York, November 15, 2004—The newly renovated and expanded Museum of Modern Art, opening on November 20, 2004, will present the Museum’s renowned collection of painting and sculpture in a completely new reinstallation that dynamically illustrates the movements, artists, and influences that have shaped modern and contemporary art over the last 125 years. Works from the collection will be exhibited on three floors of expansive galleries, including the Museum’s first galleries devoted exclusively to contemporary art. Architect Yoshio Taniguchi has designed suites of carefully calibrated spaces in which to trace the developments of art from the late 19th century to the present day, following a layout established by John Elderfield, The Marie-Josée and Henry Kravis Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture, in collaboration with Jerome Neuner, Director of Exhibition Design and Production. Though works from the collection are exhibited in an essentially chronological sequence, the galleries’ distinctive design allows that progression to be non-linear, thus emphasizing how artists, movements, and styles coincided, competed with each other, and broke new ground in the evolution of modern art. Each gallery is a cohesive presentation relating an episode in the history of modern art; while each individual gallery constitutes an integral part of the larger narrative, it can also stand alone as a self-contained chapter within that story. “The most wonderful aspect of the new MoMA building from a curator’s point of view is that it allows us to look at the collection anew,” said Mr.

About Michael Nyman. Even though it is only an illusion, but it seems that when John Cage walked into our room, the world has re-started in some fashion. Moreover, ideally this production is heard in surround sound, with multiple speakers all around the audience. Reference Works. Conseguir libro impreso. The actual composition is an electronic piece of music based on sounds mentioned in the book. Cage's experiments with random procedures and indeterminacy in composition as well as performance, his unique systems of graphic notations, and his innovative live electronic and mixed-media events of the 's through the 's served as the groundwork for radical experiments in avant-garde music by composers in both the classical and rock genres of music. Sonically, this matches the presentation of the split subject of the man, seen and heard separately as absent voice and present body, but with implications of identity. MARC Records. Popular Posts. This means that when the pedal is down, the spoken text provokes specific resonances from the instrument, according to the frequencies and dynamic level of the voice.

By mapping histories of ‘innova- tive’ poetry from the twentieth century onwards against aesthetic and political questions of form, content and subjectivity, I argue that race and the racialised subject in poetry are informed by market forces as well as longstanding assumptions about authenticity and otherness.

  • Naked Lunch for Lawyers: William S. Burroughs on Capital Punishment
    Batey: Naked LunchNAKED for Lawyers: LUNCH William FOR S. Burroughs LAWYERS: on Capital Punishme WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS ON CAPITAL PUNISHMENT, PORNOGRAPHY, THE DRUG TRADE, AND THE PREDATORY NATURE OF HUMAN INTERACTION t ROBERT BATEY* At eighty-two, William S. Burroughs has become a literary icon, "arguably the most influential American prose writer of the last 40 years,"' "the rebel spirit who has witch-doctored our culture and consciousness the most."2 In addition to literature, Burroughs' influence is discernible in contemporary music, art, filmmaking, and virtually any other endeavor that represents "what Newt Gingrich-a Burroughsian construct if ever there was one-likes to call the counterculture."3 Though Burroughs has produced a steady stream of books since the 1950's (including, most recently, a recollection of his dreams published in 1995 under the title My Education), Naked Lunch remains his masterpiece, a classic of twentieth century American fiction.4 Published in 1959' to t I would like to thank the students in my spring 1993 Law and Literature Seminar, to whom I assigned Naked Lunch, especially those who actually read it after I succumbed to fears of complaints and made the assignment optional. Their comments, as well as the ideas of Brian Bolton, a student in the spring 1994 seminar who chose Naked Lunch as the subject for his seminar paper, were particularly helpful in the gestation of this essay; I also benefited from the paper written on Naked Lunch by spring 1995 seminar student Christopher Dale. Gary Minda of Brooklyn Law School commented on an early draft of the essay, as did several Stetson University colleagues: John Cooper, Peter Lake, Terrill Poliman (now at Illinois), and Manuel Ramos (now at Tulane) of the College of Law, Michael Raymond of the English Department and Greg McCann of the School of Business Administration.

  • Essay by Doug Jones on Bill Griffiths' Poetry
    DOUG JONES “I ain’t anyone but you”: On Bill Griffths Bill Griffiths was found dead in bed, aged 59, on September 13, 2007. He had discharged himself from hospital a few days earlier after argu- ing with his doctors. I knew Griffiths from about 1997 to around 2002, a period where I was trying to write a dissertation on his poetry. I spent a lot of time with him then, corresponding and talking to him at length, always keen and pushing to get him to tell me what his poems were about. Of course, he never did. Don’ t think I ever got to know him, really. All this seems a lifetime ago. I’ m now a family physician (a general practitioner in the UK) in a coastal town in England. I’ ve taken a few days off from the COVID calamity and have some time to review the three-volume collection of his work published by Reality Street a few years ago. Volume 1 covers the early years, Volume 2 the 80s, and Volume 3 the period from his move to Seaham, County Durham in northeast England until his death. Here I should attempt do his work some justice, and give an idea, for an American readership, of its worth. Working up to this, I reread much of his poetry, works I hadn’ t properly touched in fifteen years. Going through it again after all that time, I was gobsmacked by its beauty, complexity, and how it continued to burn through a compla- cent and sequestered English poetry scene.

Zawia DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2019 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines integral, challenging contemporary poetry and fiction, and its relationship to notions of the criminal in multiple guises. The present focus on “criminal” excavates not only its literal meaning—the nature of crime, and its specific relation to penal law—but also brings to light how the “criminal” affects the construction of fiction and poetry, and the lives of various individuals (speakers) within the chosen texts. Intricately tied with the criminal are practices that transgress, and this study will also locate specific creations where poets and novelists construct transgressions that challenge contemporary ideas of narrative and poetic modes.

  • Cue Point Aesthetics: the Performing Disc Jockey In
    CUE POINT AESTHETICS: THE PERFORMING DISC JOCKEY IN POSTMODERN DJ CULTURE By Benjamin De Ocampo Andres A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Sociology Committee Membership Dr. Jennifer Eichstedt, Committee Chair Dr. Renee Byrd, Committee Member Dr. Meredith Williams, Committee Member Dr. Meredith Williams, Graduate Coordinator May 2016 ABSTRACT CUE POINT AESTHETICS: THE PERFORMING DISC JOCKEY IN POSTMODERN DJ CULTURE Benjamin De Ocampo Andres This qualitative research explores how social relations and intersections of popular culture, technology, and gender present in performance DJing. The methods used were interviews with performing disc jockeys, observations at various bars, and live music venues. Interviews include both women and men from varying ages and racial/ethnic groups. Cultural studies/popular culture approaches are utilized as the theoretical framework, with the aid of concepts including resistance, hegemony, power, and subcultures. Results show difference of DJ preference between analog and digital formats. Gender differences are evident in performing DJ's experiences on and off the field due to patriarchy in the DJ scene. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and Foremost, I would like to thank my parents and immediate family for their unconditional support and love. You guys have always come through in a jam and given up a lot for me, big up. To "the fams" in Humboldt, you know who you are, thank you so much for holding me down when the time came to move to Arcata, and for being brothers from other mothers. A shout out to Burke Zen for all the jokes cracked, and cigarettes smoked, at "Chinatown." You help get me through this and I would have lost it along time ago.
