A fascinating overview of how contemporary artists incorporate text and language into work that speaks to the most pressing issues of the 21st century. In this new volume celebrated artist and curator Michael Petry, addresses media and marketplace concerns about the state of language and the value of books in the digital age. As words find new modes of transmission in contemporary society, text becomes information, and information strives to become free, Petry asks, what value can text hold in the sphere of visual art?
