{"product_id":"words-a-collation-9781803092171","title":"Words: A Collation","description":"\u003cb\u003eAn exploration of phrases and excerpts that inspire a major contemporary artist.\u003c\/b\u003e \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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seagull Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781803092171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116","brand":"William Kentridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42729586557109,"sku":"9781803092171","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_72a75450-076e-4559-bfd1-dad82ec64254.jpg?v=1675804053","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/words-a-collation-9781803092171","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
