Pope.L's contribution was the immersive sound installation \u003ci\u003eWhispering Campaign\u003c\/i\u003e, consisting of thousands of hours of whispered content addressing nationhood and borders, and broadcast throughout Athens and Kassel using both speakers and live whisperers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA month later, a second chapter of the campaign was inaugurated at the University of Chicago's Logan Center for the Arts, revolving around the \u003ci\u003eBrown People Are the Wrens in the Parking Lot\u003c\/i\u003e project. In this volume, Zachary Cahill looks back upon this complex enterprise, which involved an art exhibit, a DIY media campaign, a thematic library, video interviews and a series of events ranging from impromptu performances and DJ sets to a program of presentations and debates. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe third and final chapter of the artist's campaign unfolded as a course cotaught at the University of Chicago by Pope.L and Roelstraete, titled Art and Knowledge, which sought to address one of \u003ci\u003eWhispering Campaign\u003c\/i\u003e's catchiest and most puzzling slogans--namely, ignorance is a virtue. Students were invited to contribute their observations concerning art's sometimes proudly tenuous relationship to knowledge.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 168\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.2 x 5.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 17, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42700305989695,"sku":"9788867493890","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/8fb26a0d3023dedab594c3aeec4d202e.webp?v=1765016214","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/pope-l-campaign-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
