For this second Why Words Now lecture, Art Hub and The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts welcomes Post Brothers, an enthusiast, word processor, and curator.
Post Brothers' lecture, titled ‘A Tongue Without a Body, Which Writes', will discuss practices of word processing within and around art. Considering how cultural objects drive specific textual logics, this presentation will address the use and abuse of words, as well as the peculiar and precarious labor of putting words in artists’ and institutions' mouths.
