{"product_id":"catherine-wood-performance-in-contemporary-art-2018-hardback","title":"Catherine Wood: Performance in Contemporary Art [2018] hardback","description":"In this important new survey, Catherine Wood proposes performance\u003cbr\u003enot as a genre of art separate from object-making but as an attitude\u003cbr\u003ethat has infiltrated the entire terrain of contemporary art. From\u003cbr\u003ethe musical-theatricals of Marvin-Gaye Chetwynd to the public\u003cbr\u003eencounters created by Tino Seghal and the social activism of Tania\u003cbr\u003eBruguera, a hugely divergent set of practices has emerged in the past\u003cbr\u003etwenty to thirty years which embrace the worlds of sculpture and\u003cbr\u003epainting, spectacle and protest.\u003cbr\u003eExamining in turn individual, social and object-based approaches\u003cbr\u003ein the field, Wood first examines the influential performance art of\u003cbr\u003ethe 1960s to 1980s: the body art of the Viennese actionists; the raw\u003cbr\u003eperformances of Yoko Ono and Chris Burden; and the experiments\u003cbr\u003eof the Japanese Gutai group among others. She then explores\u003cbr\u003ehow these sources have been revisited, reformed or rejected by\u003cbr\u003econtemporary artists in the twenty-first century. This impressive book\u003cbr\u003eencompasses international artists who fall outside the traditional\u003cbr\u003eEuropean and North American focus, giving the reader the broadest\u003cbr\u003eand most up-to-date insight into the subject yet published.","brand":"Wood, Catherine","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":53255628751187,"sku":"9781849763110","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Like New","offer_id":53255628718419,"sku":"XE81849763110","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/wood-catherine-catherine-wood-performance-in-contemporary-art-2018-hardback-1227263233.jpg?v=1773515289","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/catherine-wood-performance-in-contemporary-art-2018-hardback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
