Performance: Live Art Since the '60s
Roselee Goldberg

Thames & Hudson, 2004

Performance breaks the boundaries separating art and life, private and public, custom and taboo. Its anarchic experiments have put it at the forefront of the twentieth-century avant-garde. In the four decades since the 1960s there has been an astonishing increase in the number of its practitioners worldwide, and it has radically influenced and altered not only all the other arts, from theater to music to photography, but is also all-pervasive in ...

Performance Art: From Futurism to the Present (World of Art)

3 reviews
Roselee Goldberg

Thames & Hudson, 2001

A must-read!
Goldberg's is an excellent, well-researched, and interesting text that documents the history of a most misunderstood medium: performance art. Proceeding in a sure-footed way from the early, combative, theatrical efforts of the Italian Futurists, then to Dadaism, then on to the dances of Oskar Schlemmer, to the 1960s "happenings", up until the end of the 1980s...Goldberg covers it all. She ...

Performa, 2007

Radically cool
PERFORMA: New Visual Art Performance by RoseLee Goldberg is a rare treasure. On one hand, the book is a historical account of PERFORMA05, a series of performances that took place in New York over a period of three weeks in November 2005 under the auspices of PERFORMA, a non-profit arts organization dedicated to performance art. On the other hand, this book is also a new work of great interviews, ...

Francis Alys: The Modern Procession
Harper Montgomery, Francesco Pellizi, ...

Public Art Fund, 2003

On the morning of Sunday, June 23, 2002, 100 participants gathered at The Museum of Modern Art in midtown Manhattan, along with a 12-person Peruvian brass band, and a horse, dogs, and numerous palanquins, atop which sat replicas of three masterpieces from the museum's collection--Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, Duchamp's ready-made Bicycle Wheel, and a Giacometti--and a living representative of contemporary art, Kiki Smith. Three hours ...

Monograph template
Wow. This sumptuously illustrated monograph has redefined the manner in which monographs will probably be executed in the twenty-first century. How fitting that RoseLee Goldberg, who penned and organized the equally breath-taking "Performance: Live Art Since 1960," has joined forces with maverick Laurie Anderson. Ms. Goldberg not only unravelled the complexity of Laurie Anderson's works, but ...

Nikki S. Lee: Parts
RoseLee Goldberg

Hatje Cantz Publishers, 2006

Korean-born, New York-based conceptual artist Nikki S. Lee once hoped to be an actress. Now she examines the construction and interpretation of identity in works that combine performance and photography. Her acclaimed Projects document her transformation (sometimes drastic) and assimilation into a wide range of subcultures and social and ethnic groups--from sophisticated ladies of the finest Parisian circles to white trash in American trailer ...

The Downtown Book: The New York Art Scene 1974-1984

2 reviews

Princeton University Press, 2005

A great cross-section, but where's Basquiat???
This book indeed contains a good cross-section of the artists, writers & performers navigating around the downtown NY art scene between 74 & 84. Great photographs & an excellent Chronology feature at the end of the book. BUT: How do you get by sub-titling a book The New York Art Scene 1974-1984 without showing one photo of or one piece of work by Jean-Michel Basquiat, or writing one full ...

Performance: Live Art Since 1960

RoseLee Goldberg

Harry N. Abrams, 1998

Ground-breaking book that redefines the study of performance
I have been a fan of RoseLee Goldberg's books for years, but she really has out-done herself with this visually stunning book. She has captured the essence of performance pictorially without diluting the "live-art" aspect of it. Some of her chapters could be called mini-performances, themselves. Goldberg organizes her subject into conceptual chapters that keep the material from falling into ...

Bernar Venet Performances, etc. 1961-2006
Bernar Venet

Charta, 2007

If it is not surprising how many mediums Bernar Venet has worked in, from sculpture to painting to photography to sound to furniture, it is surprising how many he has used in performance. From the first moments of "Performance dans les detritus" in 1961 through sound compositions corresponding to and implicating his visual work, to a ballet for which he wrote the music, created the choreography and designed both the set and costumes, Venet has ...

Shirin Neshat
RoseLee Goldberg, Giorgio Verzotti, ...

Charta, 2002

In Shirin Neshat's photographs, Persian calligraphic script is transcribed over black and white depictions of the exposed faces, hands, and feet of Iranian women. In her video works, swarms of women in black hijabs ululate, a man in a white dress shirt and black pants sings to an all-male audience, and a lone, nearly invisible woman chants to herself in a darkened house. Always aesthetically compelling, Neshat's work is equally thematically ...

Francesco Vezzoli: Right You Are (If You Think You Are)
Michael Schulman, Herbert Muschamp

Charta/ Gagosian Gallery, 2008

Francesco Vezzoli caused a flurry with his 2005 video, "Trailer for a Remake of Gore Vidal's Caligula ," a salacious hit starring Benicio Del Toro, Helen Mirren and Karen Black, as well as his 2007 Venice Biennale TV spots (starring Sharon Stone and Bernard-Henri Levy), which advertised a mock U.S. Presidential campaign and kept the artist's name in the press long after the exhibition premiered. Most recently, Vezzoli was invited by Performa07, ...
