About the Book

Dust Bunnies is an assemblage of "swept up" fragments that came from a vast digital discourse that took place in Dave Hickey's social media space between June 2014 and March 2015. During that time Hickey posted almost 3,000 comments, prompting nearly 700,000 words in response from art lovers, acolytes, and skeptics. Wasted Words, the resulting volume, is an unedited comprehensive transcript of these exchanges. Its pendant publication, Dustbunnies, distills Hickey's richly aphoristic comments, extracted from various discussion threads.

Dustbunnies is an assemblage of "swept up" fragments that came from a vast digital discourse that took place in Dave Hickey's social media space between June 2014 and March 2015. During that time Hickey posted almost 3,000 comments, prompting nearly 700,000 words in response from art lovers, acolytes, and skeptics. Wasted Words, the resulting volume, is an unedited comprehensive transcript of these exchanges. Its pendant publication, Dustbunnies, distills Hickey's richly aphoristic comments, extracted from various discussion threads.

Unlike Wasted Words, which is inherently contextual and discursive, Dustbunnies stresses the timeless character of Hickey's unique authorial voice. Always provocative and often shocking, Hickey's pronouncements are perfectly suited for the jab-like nature of the social media platform. In a delightfully ironic twist of fate, some two decades after the onset of the digital revolution, a critic known for his paragraph-long verbal riffs blasts away at digital natives in the under-140-character idiom they understand.

Conceived and Produced by LG Williams and The Estate of LG Williams(TM). Edited by Julia Friedman.
