Kenneth Goldsmith

Kenneth Goldsmith is an American conceptual poet and artist known as the founder of Uncreative Writing, a practice that embraces appropriation, repurposing, and recontextualization of existing texts as a form of creative expression. He is the founder of UbuWeb, a vast online archive of avant-garde art, film, and sound, and has served as the first Poet Laureate of the Museum of Modern Art. His work blurs the boundaries between literature, visual art, and conceptual practice, positioning language itself as a primary artistic medium.
