{"product_id":"words-a-collation-the-africa-list","title":"Words: A Collation (The Africa List)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn exploration of phrases and excerpts that inspire a major contemporary artist.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 Words, 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: Aim Csaire, Yehuda Amichai, Sigmund Freud, James Joyce, Setswana proverbs, the Book of Ecclesiastes, Tristan Tzaras Dada Manifesto, 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, Words is a thought-provoking collection that provides a window to the mind of a contemporary creative genius.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seagull Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45887986106566,"sku":"DADAX1803092173","price":31.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/61rxwPIoisL.jpg?v=1779952709","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/words-a-collation-the-africa-list","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
