Title A name given to the resource tongue, 1991-92, vocal performance Description An account of the resource Lynn Book’s “tongue” was an irreverent and biting solo vocal performance whose mission was to deconstruct language, meaning and power through a poetics of feminist thought in rant form. It was first developed as part of “Lynn Book Covers” at Club Lower Links, in Chicago at the time of the early 90s culture wars when gay rights was an imperative to combat the threat of the AIDS epidemic being ignored by Washington; when the artists’ prerogative was necessary in a time of attempted censorship by conservative political powers; and yet another American-led war in the Middle East was being prosecuted by the Bush (the elder) administration. The stripped down text-centered work extended the notion of ‘writing woman’s body’ (Helene Cixous) to speaking it, voicing it and reinventing what ‘voicing bodies’ (Book’s term) could be. She developed this 1991-92 work (and it developed her) through a heuristics of procedures that included ‘audio journals’ (her reinvention), free writes, and concentrated writing from theoretical, rhetorical and narrative forms that she feverishly subverted almost at the moment that she opened her mouth. In the words of former Chicago Tribune journalist and writer, Achy Obejas, “Book winds her material around itself like a coil, going back every so often to pick up a piece that at first may have seemed a throwaway… because every little piece fits into every other and resonates.” This collection includes video documentation, both complete, unedited versions, as well as edited versions, versions of the performance text, reviews in various publications including the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Reader, as well as an unpublished review, photos slide stills from several performances, announcements and hand written process notes by the artist.

Title A name given to the resource tongue, 1992, Berlin, Knaack Gallerie, project video documentation Description An account of the resource Lynn Book was invited to perform “tongue” in Berlin in 1992 at two different venues - X ‘N Pop, a club in the Kreuzberg section of the former West and Knaack Galerie in the Prenzlauer Berg area of the former East. This incomplete video documentation of the performance of this solo vocal work, an extended deconstruction of language, meaning and power through a poetics of feminist thought, was shot by the curator, Theo Di Ricco. The small, mostly German speaking audience at Knaack was subdued, due in part to the still rather isolated condition of East Berlin after the fall of the Berlin Wall in late 1989. Running time for the video is 33:44 and has some drop out at various passages.

Ultimately, it became a critically received solo vocal performance concerned with extended deconstructions of language, meaning and power through a poetics of feminist thought that could be, shockingly, boisterously funny. This short 13-minute study was part of a benefit for the Experimental Sound Studio held at Randolph Street Gallery in Chicago in the fall of 1991.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource tongue, 1991-92, vocal performance Description An account of the resource Lynn Book’s “tongue” was an irreverent and biting solo vocal performance whose mission was to deconstruct language, meaning and power through a poetics of feminist thought in rant form. It was first developed as part of “Lynn Book Covers” at Club Lower Links, in Chicago at the time of the early 90s culture wars when gay rights was an imperative to combat the threat of the AIDS epidemic being ignored by Washington; when the artists’ prerogative was necessary in a time of attempted censorship by conservative political powers; and yet another American-led war in the Middle East was being prosecuted by the Bush (the elder) administration. The stripped down text-centered work extended the notion of ‘writing woman’s body’ (Helene Cixous) to speaking it, voicing it and reinventing what ‘voicing bodies’ (Book’s term) could be. She developed this 1991-92 work (and it developed her) through a heuristics of procedures that included ‘audio journals’ (her reinvention), free writes, and concentrated writing from theoretical, rhetorical and narrative forms that she feverishly subverted almost at the moment that she opened her mouth. In the words of former Chicago Tribune journalist and writer, Achy Obejas, “Book winds her material around itself like a coil, going back every so often to pick up a piece that at first may have seemed a throwaway… because every little piece fits into every other and resonates.” This collection includes video documentation, both complete, unedited versions, as well as edited versions, versions of the performance text, reviews in various publications including the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Reader, as well as an unpublished review, photos slide stills from several performances, announcements and hand written process notes by the artist.
