The American Gift
Vito Acconci
New York,
NY
: Electronic Arts Intermix. 1976
Alternating between an English lesson, in which a French-speaking man and woman translate English phrases, and short "samples" of what Acconci calls "the voice of America" -- movie soundtracks, Creole singers, honky-tonk piano --
The American Gift investigates the problematics of translation and nationality. This CD is part of a series of early conceptual audio works by Vito Acconci, newly restored by Electronic Arts Intermix.
