Artist''s book in the form of a soliloquy by Kenneth Goldsmith in 7 acts. "Soliloquy is an unedited document of every word I spoke during the week of April 15-21, 1996, from the moment I woke up Monday morning to the moment I went to sleep on Sunday night. To accomplish this, I wore a hidden voice-activated tape recorder. I transcribed Soliloquy during the summer of 1996 at the Chateau Bionnay in Lacenas, France, during a residency there. It took 8 weeks, working 8 hours a day. Soliloquy was first realized as an exhibition at Bravin Post Lee in during April 1997. Subsequently, the gallery published the text in a limited edition of 50." -- artist''s statement.
