The state is often ascribed a special sort of authority, one that obliges citizens to obey its commands and entitles the state to How to Talk So People Listen: Connecting in Today's Workplace download ebook enforce those commands through threats of violence. This book argues that this notion is a moral illusion: no one has ever possessed that sort of authority. Language has been a primary element in visual art since the 1960s -- in the form of printed texts, painted signs, words on the wall, recorded speech, and more. In Words to Be Looked At, Liz Kotz traces this practice to its beginnings, examining works of visual art, poetry, and experimental music created in and around New York City from 1958 to 1968. In many of these works, language has been reduced to an object nearly emptied of meaning. Robert Smithson described a 1967 exhibition at the Dwan Gallery as consisting of "Language to be Looked at and/or Things to be Read." Kotz considers the paradox of artists living in a time of social upheaval who use words but chose not to make statements with them. Kotz traces the proliferation of text in 1960s art to the use of words in musical notation and short performance scores. She makes two works the "bookends" of her study: the "text score" for John Cage's legendary 1952 work 4'33" -- written instructions directing a performer to remain silent during three arbitrarily determined time brackets -- and Andy Warhol's notorious a: a novel -- twenty-four hours of endless talk, taped and transcribed -- published by Grove Press in 1968.
