Portable Gray
I have a new article published in the Gray Center for Arts and Inquiry at the University of Chicago’s Portable Gray journal, Volume 2, Number 1, Spring 2019 issue.
The polemical article, An Undefined Sound, is a conversation between Philip von Zweck and myself about what, if anything, ‘Sound Art’ is, and why it needs a proper definition if it is to become more than a mere curiosity within academia.
