The Bookblues, jazz, hip hop, drum & bass and dubstepBlack Sound White Cube by Belgian philosopher Dieter Lesage and German artist and curator Ina Wudtke sheds a new light on global intricacies within contemporary art production. The book addresses works by international artists such as Sonia Boyce, Jennie C. Jones, Minouk Lim, Nadine Robinson, Sanford Biggers and Yoel Vazquez, as well as by curators, such as Thelma Golden, Valerie Cassel Oliver, Lydia Yee, Richard J. Powell and Franklin Sirmans. In their artistic and curatorial work, these people all reflect on the Afro-Atlantic diaspora and explore the relationships between music and the visual arts. Black Sound White Cube also offers a refreshing critical reading of canonical works of art, which in this context are repeatedly mentioned uncritically, such as 4’33” by John Cage, and Rock My Religion by Dan Graham. Black Sound White Cube indicates subaltern lines of tradition and provokes discussion beyond the hegemonic traditions of avant-garde and rock.
