Audio Book

Independent Curator, Joseph del Pesco, initiated an audio book version of Art Work on the SFMOMA blog, Open Space. Below are links to the mp3s of individual essays:

Record your own: Using the microphone built into your computer, record one of the texts in a single sitting. If you don’t have audio software (such as Garage Band) you can download Audacity. It’s free and easy-to-use. While recording your reading, if you make a mistake, pause, and start again from the beginning of the sentence (this makes it easier to edit). Then upload the file (without editing) to Yousendit or some other web-based file sharing tool and email the link to: openspace@delpesco.com
