How do objects 'speak' to us? What happens to authorship when voice
is projected into inanimate objects? How can one articulate an
object into speech? Is the inarticulate body necessarily silent?
These are just some of the questions brought up by this unique and
unusual collection of essays, which presents subjects and
categories often overlooked by the disciplines of art history,
visual culture, theatre history and comparative literature. Drawing
from and expanding upon the 'Performing Objects, Animating Images'
academic session run by the Henry Moore Institute at the
Association of Art Historians conference, held in London in 2003,
this book presents thirteen essays that bring together a
multidisciplinary approach to the animated object. Contributions
range from literal accounts of magic lanterns, tableaux vivants,
puppets and ventriloquist dummies, to the more abstract notions of
voice displacement in audio art and authorship projection in
writing machines. The contributors come from diverse backgrounds in
art history, cultural history, comparative literature, and
artistic, theatrical and curatorial practice, and all tackle the
issue of 'articulate objects' from a range of lively and unexpected
perspectives.
