 Item
Identifier: CC-43926-46036
Scope and Contents

This book illustrates and describes the monochromatique color themed events organized and produced by Hubaut in various towns in France and Japan. Hubaut writes, "I have chosen to develop my current practice on colour from the three founding elements in modern art - the monochrome, the ready-made and the gesture. I construct my monchrome 'sites' from given or borrowed objects donated by a public often isolated from the art melieu. This is a tactic to reach a wider audience."

Soliloquy, 2001

 Item
Identifier: CC-37806-39686
Scope and Contents

This book was first published in a limited edition by Editions Bravin Post Lee in 1997. A signed copy of that volume is held by the Sackner Archive. Goldsmith records his conversational life from April 15, 1996 to April 21, 1996 in a stream of consciousness style. The personal aspects of his daily routine, working for an all night, avant garde radio station, creating Web sites, talking with Cheryl Donagan, his wife, attending lectures and art openings, and meeting Marjorie Perloff are all obsessively recorded by the artist /poet. Goldsmith describes how he went to RISD and used to make sculptures of books and then carved language onto the wooden books. Although he felt the sculptures were really beautiful, Goldsmith became much more interested in the language than in the actual form of the book object itself. The Sackner Archive holds one of these early pieces, "Steal This Book." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
