Signature style and our reading of art for authorial intent are so deeply ingrained that stylelessness can easily be read as style. Is it even possible to do such a thing in the field of *art*, which in this century is tied into the general culture by little other than the narratives of artists' (and musicians') lives? Maybe philosophy could grow a branch of sound more easily than art and music could lose the concept of style and authorship? Ann K. --- from list avant-garde-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
