This volume calls attention to the unexpected prevalence of ventriloqual motifs and strategies within contemporary art.
"Ventriloquism, Performance, and Contemporary Art is a fascinating collection of essays on the use of ventriloquism and puppetry in contemporary art. The writing, research, and arguments are exemplary. The editors and writers make a compelling case for considering the topic of ventriloquism in relationship to painting, sculpture, installation, performance, video, and even architecture."
