{"product_id":"words","title":"Words","description":"An exploration of phrases and excerpts that inspire a major contemporary artist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Over the past several years, renowned South African artist William Kentridge has made a collection of particular phrases and sentences that have called out to him from the pages of whatever he has been reading. And these phrases, which he has written into a studio notebook titled \u003ci\u003eWords\u003c\/i\u003e, have been put to work in many of his artistic projects. Kentridge has often begun a project by paging through the notebook, waiting for a phrase to claim its place in the new work. The text excerpts come from many sources: Aimé Césaire, Yehuda Amichai, Sigmund Freud, James Joyce, Setswana proverbs, the Book of Ecclesiastes, Tristan Tzara's \u003ci\u003eDada Manifesto\u003c\/i\u003e, and a range of eastern European poets. This volume presents a selection made from the notebook, with phrases arranged neither randomly nor with a clear agenda but finding a space in between. Cleverly designed by the artist and beautifully produced, \u003ci\u003eWords\u003c\/i\u003e is a thought-provoking collection that provides a window to the mind of a contemporary creative genius. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":55098408436050,"sku":"9781803092171","price":29.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/bild_f8cba930-5a63-4160-94a3-273e047f3270.jpg?v=1792151072","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/words","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
