Synopsis
This essay, discussing a two-part installation at Galerie des Archives in Paris by the internationally celebrated artist, Gary Hill, explores the enigmatic nature of the work of art as an object and of objects in general, as such issues pertain to Hill's work and these installations in particular. The text is by two well-known poet/artists who have a long history of association and collaboration with Gary Hill. This book is handsomely illustrated with photographs of the installation and other relevant works by Hill and is presented in a bilingual, French-English edition.Excerpts from the text:There are works of art that require initiation. This does not mean that they require explanation, special consensus, or any other prescriptive bearing. It does mean that one must discover an appropriate mode of entry which is more than informational. This can involve radical reorientation, as in the case of HanD HearD, which directly (but non-coercively) introduces us to the posture of awareness appropriate to our participation in the piece.Considering more particularly the piece HanD HearD, we discover that its way of being a text imposes nothing on the mind, yet it offers an image (a hand in front of a person's face) as a possible posture of awareness. And because the text has no content other than this posture, it grants the participant direct access from the beginning.

Broschiert. Condition: Sehr gut. Ca. 40 S. mit zahlr. Abb. Sehr gutes Ex. - Hands // Two hands, clearly of a single person, performing the "impossible" movement of passing their fingers through each other. Something that we know cannot be seen is precisely what we are seeing. Instead of supplying the object that in our minds we know "must be there" amidst the largely unfamiliar image data, we must subtract from the all-too-specific image what we know in our minds "can't be there." Yet more than seeing we are sensing, unaccountably getting the feeling of what it would be to actually do such a thing. This eerie identification stems from the phenomenology of perceiving another person's body: The very fact that I have hands means that, if only subliminally, I know through my hands what is happening to other hands. Perhaps this is an istan-ce of morphic resonance (to borrow a concept from biologist Rupert Sheldrake) - a term for the "field effect" in how things indirectly influence each other. It addresses the impressive phenomenon of shared sensitivity amongst members of a kind, the way like affects like even when seemingly at variance with causality, circumstantial evidence and linear logic. Certainly it has to do with entrainment - the natural tendency toward getting into step with others. Is our easy induction into the nearby activity of sympathetic beings evidence that we unconsciously seek out essential sameness? . ISBN 1886449392 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.
