Conceptual Poetics: Christian Bök and Kenneth Goldsmith
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2014
- CAMH presents an afternoon of readings, performances, and lectures that explore the landscape of contemporary poetics by two highly influential artists, writers, and poets, Christian Bök and Kenneth Goldsmith. Each presenter has a distinguished practice that spans the gamut of contemporary, experimental literature.
I thought that Bok's reading was exactly like Duchamp's re-framing of that urinal by simply moving it into an art show.
Taking a college class in Poetry, I did find this helpful.
“This is a poem, maybe more poetics, titled, ‘why postmodernity reflects nothing more than academic self-stroking.’ There’s more read in the way someone reads instead of what is written down, and sometimes a caricature is just a caricature, even resembling a feeble attempt at self-awareness, which echoes originality today. But if you ask, I’ll reference Shakespeare’s fools. And here’s a quote of a quote to reinforce this cartoon: ‘“The style is the man himself,” people repeat without seeing any harm in it, and without worrying about the fact that man is no longer so sure a reference point.’ Look at me, the zany, hip hipster who, despite my title, or because of it, is not too good to have fun at my own expense. What a good boy am I.”
