<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>How do artworks 'speak', and how do we 'listen'<br/>and respond? These questions underlie the<br/>investigation here of Roni Horn's Pair Object<br/>III: For Two Rooms, Emily Dickinson's later<br/>manuscripts, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's Passages<br/>Paysages, Fiona Templeton's Cells of Release and<br/>Jenny Holzer's Lustmord. The tenets of critical<br/>performance, art-writing and site-writing<br/>inform the critical method used in Poetics<br/>and Place. Each chapter is dedicated to one of<br/>these five artworks, and is arranged in order<br/>to fulfil three main objectives: to understand<br/>how the artworks generate meaning through a<br/>material poetics in relation to place; to develop<br/>a critical methodology for engaging with them;<br/>and to investigate their ethical potential and<br/>political imperative. All of this, ultimately, <br/>facilitates the development of a triadic relation<br/>between theoretical concepts of sign, subject<br/>and site at the crossover between poetry, <br/>art and spatial practices. This extends each<br/>artwork beyond the dyad of a critical encounter<br/>in order to offer - and allow others to grasp<br/>- an appreciation of how the artwork figures<br/>meaningfully, as well as configures meaning, <br/>in the wider world of objects and things. The<br/>book concludes with a discussion of the ethics<br/>of reading from the second person, opening up<br/>a debate concerning the role of empathy within<br/>contemporary, politically engaged practices in<br/>art and poet<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>To come</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Kristen Kreider is Senior Lecturer in the Department of English, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK.</p>
