Joseph Kosuth, "'Texts (Waiting for-) for Nothing,' Samuel Beckett, in play"

Conceptual Art had many fathers, among them Joseph Kosuth, whose investigations into how meaning is created were most famously manifested as large-scale blowups of definitions from the dictionary. This show consists of a new installation in white neon, which takes as its point of departure two pieces of writing by Samuel Beckett: his masterpiece, Waiting for Godot, and the much-lesser-known Texts for Nothing. The show also revisits a 1998 installation by Kosuth based on James Joyce's Ulysses, as well the very first of the aforementioned dictionary works.
