{"product_id":"9783775731775","title":"Janet Cardiff \u0026 George Bures Miller: The Murder of Crows","description":"Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller's \"The Murder of Crows\" is a surrealistic sound installation inspired in part by Goya's famous etching \"The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters.\" This hallucinatory work depicts a man asleep with owls and bats swooping menacingly around his head; Cardiff and Miller's title also refers to the habit among crows of flocking to a dead crow and cawing collectively, often for over a day, in a \"crow funeral.\" The installation is composed of 98 speakers that visually mimic the flocking crows and issue both ambient and musical sounds, and a desk (mimicing Goya) with a megaphone from which Cardiff's voice relays a series of dreams. This artist's book account of the project--as well as selected earlier projects--includes documents, interviews with the artists, ornithological and literary texts referring to crows, plus a DVD and 3-D reproductions with glasses.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag GmbH \u0026 Co KG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052095521008,"sku":"9783775731775","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783775731775_p0.jpg?v=1763683107","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783775731775","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
