An interview with Kenneth Goldsmith in Rain Taxi (transcribed from Ceptuetics, 03/08)

A review of K. Silem Mohammad's Breathalyzer (in Josef Kaplan's excellent Sustainable Aircraft)

Be sure to pick up the print edition of Rain Taxi for a review of Goldsmith's American Trilogy by Steve Zultanski (mp3-steve). Also, check out the other reviews in Sustainable Aircraft's second issue, including Diana Hamilton (mp3-diana) on Meg Hamill's Death Notices and Eddie Hopely (mp3-eddie) on Nico Vassilakis' Text Loses Time.

Kenneth Goldsmith

Kenneth Goldsmith talked with me on ceptuetics about his latest book, Sports, the new installment of his American "on the ones" trilogy (Make Now Press). From there we wander through many filters of conceptual writing: boredom, temporality, information management, peeling language off the page & pouring it into different forms.

See Goldsmith's EPC author page for many articles on his work, including an excellent collection of writings in Open Letter: Kenneth Goldsmith and Conceptual Poetics, edited by Barbara Cole and Lori Emerson. Also, Goldsmith & UbuWeb in this month's ArtForum.

Please feel free to send me comments/thoughts on Goldsmith's work at ceptuetics@wnyu.org, if interested - I'm coming near a deadline for a thesis on the subject of conceptual writing, Kenneth Goldsmith, and Caroline Bergvall, and would be happy to discuss their work & the movement w/ others.
