Description

Art history traditionally concentrates on the visual, often at the expense of sound art. This book is about recent attempts by artists trained in (West) Germany to provoke listening experiences to awaken the ear. Their work is revolutionary in artistic terms and in what it reveals about human relations, especially concerning issues of gender.
