"First published in 1979 and now extensively updated, this pioneering book has been expanded with a definitive account of the technological, political and aesthetic shifts in performance art that mark the early years of the twenty-first century. An astonishing increase in the number of works and venues around the world testifies to this art form as the chosen medium for new generations or artists entering the global conversation of art and culture and for articulating 'difference', whether dealing with issues of identity or historical context. The dsire for direct engagement with today's most prominent artists explains the wide appeal of performance art to the ever broadening audience for new art. Maurizio Cattelan, Paul McCarthy, Tania Bruguera, Matthew Barney, Patty Chang and Allora and Calzadilla, among many others, can now be seen in the historical context of other innovators in the field from the Futurists and Dadaists to Yves Klein and Laurie Anderson. With performance now featured in major museum and considered one of the most important artistic forms of the twenty-first century, thi is a timely update to the essential guide."--Publisher's description.
