Gordon Monahan, Seeing Sound: sound art, performance and music 1978 - 2011

Seeing Sound: sound art, performance and music 1978–2011 is the first comprehensive monograph on Gordon Monahan’s uncompromising and radically innovative artist's multifaceted body of work. This trilingual book—with parallel text in English, French, and German—was published in conjunction with the 2011 multisite retrospective exhibition of Monahan’s work of the same title. This book begins with three texts about Monahan’s body of work, then goes on to detail 45 of his works with descriptions, scores, and documentary images. The publication comes with DVD documentation of performances.

This catalogue was generously donated by the Robert McLaughlin Gallery to Critical Distance and is being sold with a pay-what-you-can structure.
