Rituals of Rented Island: Object Theater, Loft Performance, and the New Psychodrama―Manhattan, 1970–1980 - Softcover
Synopsis
In this important volume, Jay Sanders and J. Hoberman explore the vibrant underground performance art scene of 1970s New York. Focusing on little-known and long-forgotten works, which were often performed in live/work lofts, storefronts, and alternative spaces of the city’s SoHo district, often for an audience comprising a handful of fellow artists, this catalogue makes newly visible a critical period in the development of performance art.
Rituals of Rented Island examines the disparate yet related practices of twenty artists, including Stuart Sherman; collaborators Yvonne Rainer and Babette Mangotle; Julia Heyward; Jill Kroesen; Richard Foreman; Squat Theatre; composer-musician John Zorn; and legendary playwright and filmmaker Jack Smith; among others. With an array of previously unpublished images, including installation photographs, scripts, handwritten notes, and other ephemera, drawn from the artists’ own archives, this volume illuminates the eccentric singularities of the performance art of this era and its relevance today.Distributed for the Whitney Museum of American Art

BRAND NEW. A fine copy. Still in publisher's shrinkwrap. *** "This volume explores three unique performance art practices of the 1970s and early 1980s: 'object theatre' (in which artists engage directly with the objects in the world around them); 'loft performance' (where artists performed in lofts, storefronts and the alternative spaces of New York's SoHo); and 'new psychodrama' (in which artists drew on formal performance modes to explore everyday experience). By tracing the paths of such artists as Stuart Sherman, Julia Heyward, Jared Bark and Jill Kroesen, this catalogue makes newly visible a critical period in the development of performance art. 'Rituals of Rented Island' examines the disparate yet related practices of the artists mentioned above alongside those of the notorious Kipper Kids; composer-musician John Zorn; and legendary playwright and filmmaker Jack Smith; among others." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: "Like canyons and rivers": performance for its own sake, by J.
