THE MALADY OF WRITING
Modernism you can dance to
Curated by Kenneth Goldsmith
Mark Klienberg’s proposition: “Could there be someone capable of writing a science-fiction thriller based on the intention of presenting an alternative interpretation of modernist art that is readable and appreciated by the wider public?” has actually been answered affirmatively in a certain undercurrent of artist’s audio production over the past century; let’s call it an unofficial unofficial history of modernism (doubly unofficial since artist’s audio production has been viewed as secondary to the their plastic / marketable production).
This program is an audio companion to the exhibition “The Malady of Writing. A project on text and speculative imagination” that presents a pleasurable, humorous and fun version of modernism.
