Translating Wittgenstein: into English, for artists, to speak now — A Conversation with Bettina Funcke and Paul Chan
To celebrate the release of Word Book by Ludwig Wittgenstein, the first and only English translation of the influential philosopher’s “dictionary” for elementary children, Printed Matter is pleased to host an online conversation between Bettina Funcke, the translator of Word Book, and Paul Chan, editor and publisher of Word Book. They will talk about the experience of translating Wittgenstein for English readers, the relationship that binds philosophy and contemporary art, and the enduring significance of artist books and publications in the age of digital media.
