In the Blink of an Ear is the first book to ask why the sonic arts did not experience a parallel turn toward a non-cochlear sonic art, imagined as both a response and a complement to Duchamp's conceptualism. Rather than treat sound art as an artistic practice unto itself-or as the unwanted child of music-artist and theorist Seth Kim-Cohen relates the post-War sonic arts to contemporaneous movements in the gallery arts. Applying key ideas from poststructuralism, deconstruction, and art history, In the Blink of an Ear suggests that the sonic arts have been subject to the same cultural pressures that have shaped minimalism, conceptualism, appropriation, and relational aesthetics. Sonic practice and theory have downplayed - or, in many cases, completely rejected - the de-formalization of the artwork and its simultaneous animation in the conceptual realm. \u003cbr\u003eStarting in 1948, the simultaneous examples of John Cage and Pierre Schaeffer initiated a sonic theory-in-practice, fusing clement Greenberg's media-specificity with a phenomenological emphasis on perception. Subsequently, the \"sound-in-itself\" tendency has become the dominant paradigm for the production and reception of sound art. Engaged with critical texts by Jacques Derrida, Rosalind Krauss, Friedrich Kittler, Jean François Lyotard, and Jacques Attali, among others, Seth Kim-Cohen convincingly argues for a reassessment of the short history of sound art, rejecting sound-in-itself in favor of a reading of sound's expanded situation and its uncontainable textuality. At the same time, this important book establishes the principles for a nascent non-cochlear sonic practice, embracing the inevitable interaction of sound with the social, the linguistic, the philosophical, the political, and the technological. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArtists discussed include: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGeorge Brecht\u003cbr\u003eJohn Cage\u003cbr\u003eJanet Cardiff\u003cbr\u003eMarcel Duchamp \u003cbr\u003eBob Dylan\u003cbr\u003eValie Export\u003cbr\u003eLuc Ferrari\u003cbr\u003eJarrod Fowler\u003cbr\u003eJacob Kirkegaard\u003cbr\u003eAlvin Lucier\u003cbr\u003eRobert Morris\u003cbr\u003eMuddy Waters\u003cbr\u003eJohn Oswald \u003cbr\u003eMarina Rosenfeld \u003cbr\u003ePierre Schaeffer \u003cbr\u003eStephen Vitiello \u003cbr\u003eLa Monte Young\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeth Kim-Cohen works at the nexus of conceptualism and sound. An academic and an artist, he makes as little distinction between the two activities as he can get away with. He has taught art history at Yale University and Pratt Institute and presented his artwork at venues spanning the cultural spectrum from CBGBs to Tate Modern. His writing has been published in magazines, newspapers, and journals in the Europe, the U.K. and the U.S. \"His previous book, One Reason To Live,\" was published in 2006 by Errant Bodies press.
