A two-part publication co-produced and designed by Mark Beasley and Dexter Sinister to accompany Hey Hey Glossolalia: Exhibiting the Voice, a month-long series of events that explored the use of the voice in contemporary art. The projects included sound, image, performance and text to investigate issues pertaining to but not limited to, the peripheries of speech, the charged relationship between speaker and audience and how the artist (and curator) can communicate with and through the voice of others.

Volume one (Before) provides a critical and art historical groundwork for the performance series and includes a section curated by artist Adam Pendleton focused on gospel music and the use of the voice in song.

Volume 2 (After) includes documentary material from the entire program—photographs, lecture notes, first-hand accounts, and other ephemera—capturing the spirit of these happenings.

Artsts who took part in this event include:

Robert King Wilkerson & Rigo 23, Liam Gillick & Tirdad Zolghadr, Ryan Gander & Bedwyr Williams, Adam Pendleton, Frances Stark, Fiona Banner, Dexter Sinister, Mark Leckey, Ian Svenonius, No Bra, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Chris Evans, Carey Young, Rammelzee, et al.
