i love old lesbians, my favourite professor is this elderly lesbian artist who has been working for decades at this point, she does everything from performance to sculpture to experimental noise music and she is genuinely one of the best professors i have ever had in my BFA. she was friends with chris burden before he died and he came to my school and set the lecture theatre on fire once.

New Arrival: Rita McKeough: Works

This critical monograph documents Rita McKeough’s collaborative artistic process and pedagogy from the late 1970s on; her interactions with visual and media arts communities in Halifax, Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary, particularly alternative music and performance scenes; and the audio, installation and performance work that is her ongoing contribution to the contemporary Canadian art community.

Keeping the archeological context of these gloves must be really important. I wonder if they are waiting for Rita McKeough to record them properly... https://instagr.am/p/CE5M_SAB4qB/

There are historical overviews, surveys of recent work, discussions of copyright (a big issue in the age of digital sampling) and even some recipes for reproducing works of sound art. —Robert Everett-Green, The Globe & Mail ...the diversity is enormous, both in the documentation of sound art and the number of issues discussed, but it's the inclusion of provocative essays by the likes of Douglas Kahn (an intelligent critique of music being a hindrance to the development of a wider sound art) that really stands out. —EST Magazine ...this is a valuable collection of articles driven, as Dan Lander says in his preface, 'by the noticeable lack of information and critical analysis regarding an art of sound' despite the 'abundance of activity centred around explorations into sonic expression', and is a useful discussion document for re-visioning what be a more healthy and innovative future for audio art. —Variant Magazine #13 The editors of Sound By Artists have achieved a high standard of reportage and consistency. As an introduction to audio art as it relates to the history of visual art, their book is engaging and most informative. —Tony McAuley, Site.
