About this book

In 1996 Jacques Derrida gave a lecture at the Museum of Modern Art on Antonin Artaud. Artaud the Moma reveals the challenge that Artaud posed to Derrida—and to art and its institutional history. It is a powerful interjection into the museum halls, a crucial moment in Derrida’s thought, and an insightful reading of a challenging writer and artist.

Reviews

Denis Hollier, New York University:
One of Derrida's most extraordinarily deep and virtuosic texts and one of the best ever written about Artaud.

Sylvère Lotringer, Emeritus Professor of French, Columbia University, and general editor of Semiotext(e):
Derrida's analysis of Artaud the Mômo and of Artaud's final works is truly unprecedented. It is the most amazing attempt ever written—brilliant, baroque, unstoppable—to confront the mad poet's vociferations and relentless scatology in their own terms while resisting his metaphysical rage for reappropriation.
