Description

This exciting collection of David Goldblatts essays; available for the first time in one volume; uses the metaphor of ventriloquism to help understand a variety of art world phenomena. It examines how the vocal vacillation between ventriloquist and dummy works within the roles of artist; artwork and audience as a conveyance to the audience of the performers intentions; emotions and beliefs through a created performative persona. Considering key works; including those of Nietzsche; Foucault; Socrates; Derrida; Cavell and Wittgenstein; Goldblatt examines how the authors use the framework of ventriloquism to construct and negate issues in art and architecture. He ponders self-plagiarism; why the classic philosopher cannot speak for himself; but must voice his thoughts through fictional characters or inanimate objects and works. With a close analysis of two ventriloquist paintings by Jasper Johns and Paul Klee; a critical commentary by Garry L. Hagberg; and preface by series editor Saul Ostrow; Goldblatts thoroughly fascinating book will be an invaluable asset to students of cultural studies; art; and philosophy.
