It examines the ‘performance of extremity’ as practices at the limits of the histories of performance and art, in performance art’s most fertile and prescient decade, the 1970s. Dominic Johnson recounts and analyses game-changing performance events by six artists: Kerry Trengove, Ulay, Genesis P-Orridge, Anne Bean, the Kipper Kids, and Stephen Cripps. Through close encounters with these six artists and their works, and a broader contextual milieu of artists and works, Johnson articulates a counter-history of actions in a new narrative of performance art in the 1970s, to rethink and rediscover the history of contemporary art and performance.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBBook Series: Theatre: Theory – Practice – PerformanceGenre: Arts & PhotographyItem Width: 14mmItem Weight: 503gRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
