Curating in the Age of Live Performance

Ten Theses to Subvert a Work (A Manifesto)
Bizarre anatomy: the mute face of Novarina, the polyphonic voices of Whitehead, the electronic borborygmi of Migone, the resonant backbeat of Konzelmann, the cosmic hands of Sussman, the cruel eye of Paré, the esoteric brain of Weiss. Who's there? A monster of sorts. A wireless marionette, an actor without body, a voice without origin, a body without organs. Not phantasms, but frozen mutations of language, following Novarina's injunction: "articu…
Ten Theses on Monsters and Monstrosity
A simultaneously embodied and disembodying epistemology of Monsters, this is a manifesto of monstrosities through poetry, philosophy, and rhetoric—an encyclopedia in miniature of monsters and their ontologies

Desublimation and Morbidity
Performative writing—autobiographical and fetishistic—about dolls of all kinds, from Barbie to ritual ancestral figures, from demonic figurines to unmentionable, unrepresentable, uncanny objects
An Anatomy of Anatomy
A new take on Northrup Frye's Anatomy of Criticism celebrating hybridity, montage, and a recontextualized, rewritten, reconceived notion of the “classics.”
Musicage
Stein's Stein
Among his oblique and eccentric entries into domain was a study of spiritualist practice of trance-induced automatic writing, much to dismay of his more rationalist colleagues. In this light, he initiated a series of psychological experiments in which subject was tested according to varying degrees of fatigue and distraction. One of his subjects was Miss Stein, whom he was to describe as the ideal student. She recounts her own experience: Strange…
Voice Tears
Radio Icons, Short Circuits, Deep Schisms
Multiple and contradictory histories of radiophony could be constituted, depending upon both the historical paradigms chosen to guide the research, and the theoretical phantasms behind the investigation. Its prehistory is vast; one key moment may be cited. Rabelais, in the fourth book of Pantagruel, describes a seafaring voyage during which the crew hears voices that seem to come from thin air, an effect causing great fear. Pantagruel explains th…
Mouths of Disquietude
The Drama of Life
Translator's note: The Prolog to Le drame de la vie (1984, Paris: P.O.L.) opens the long (319-page) work. Though my translation follows the French text as closely as possible, it must be considered an adaptation to the extent that transformations and substitutions are often provided for proper nouns and place names, in order to create a linguistic resonance for an American anglophone reading or producing this work. This text may not be performed …
Pressures of the sun
A New History of the Passions
On June 30, 1986, the Supreme Court of the United States upheld a Georgia law which makes sodomy a criminal offense. In a concurring opinion, Chiief Justice Burger explained that the court's decision was motivated in part by the traditional Judaeo-Christian condemnation of homosexual sodomy, which is stigmatized by quotation from Blackstone's Commentaries. In accordance with English common law, which became the received law of colonial Georgia, s…
Poetic Justice
Marcel Duchamp-the sign of a coherent system, and not the index of a mansignifies an ego both internally split and externally doubled, an ego that is the very process of instituting its own sign system while contesting the codes of everyday language from which that system is derived. In the notes for Duchamp's masterpiece, The Large Glass La mariee mise a nu par ses celibataires, meme (The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even)-there is to b…
Impossible Sovereignty
Strange gods, which must be forgotten so that we may live; strange obsessions, for which we are prepared to sacrifice ourselves; strange desires, which determine our discourse. While every god bears witness to that transcendence which pervades our existence, what god is not somehow blasphemous, what god is not somehow a provocation? Yet occasionally a god appears which repudiates the reduction of human existence by its transcendence. One such god…
Frampton's Lemma, Zorn's Dilemma
To the abominations of copulation and mirrors one might add cinema. In a world where error, as Nietzsche teaches us, is the very precondition of thought, truth and beauty are always proximate to sophism and illusion. Cinema disposes of yet another set of codes which are available for ideological misappropriation. This disposition by means of seriality, exemplification, listing, and cataloguing operates within the limits of two antithetical functi…
