Poetry. FIDGET is Kenneth Goldsmiths transcription of every movement made byhis body in a period of thirteen hours. Originally commissioned by the WhitneyMuseum of American Art as a collaboration with vocalist Theo Bleckmann FIDGETattempts to reduce the body to a catalog of mechanical movements by a strictart of observation. The stress of this rigorous exercise creates a condition ofshifting reference points and multiple levels of observation that inevitablyundermines the authors objective approach and the trajectory of the workbegins to change. Kenneth Goldsmith is also a visual poet and music critic. «
