Synopsis
Sayre defines for the first time the apparently diffuse avant-garde art of the past two decades in terms of its distinctly postmodern concerns. The range of arts discussed here encompasses contemporary dance, photography, oral poetics, performance art, and earthworks. "Sayre has written one of the most intelligent, sensible, and readable accounts of the tenents of Postmodern artmaking published to date."--Jeff Abell, New Art Examiner "No one can read The Object of Performance without gaining a far better idea than before of what has happened to art, and, in some measure, why...I find this book consistently illuminating."--Arthur C. Danto

Condition: Sehr gut. XVI, 308 S. Gebraucht, aber gut erhalten. - Text engl. - Henry M. Sayre liefert mit dem vorliegenden Buch den Versuch die sehr unterschiedlich wirkenden Ansätze der Amerikanischen Avantgarde seit 1970 über ihr Verständnis von Kunst als etwas Performativem zu verbinden. -- The lack of common style in American art since 1970 has generally been explained as a function of the avant-garde's confused diversity, its willful eclecticism-in short, its "pluralism." Henry M. Sayre instead defines this art in terms of its shared, distinctly postmodern concerns, showing for the first time how the entire range of contemporary art-including dance, photography, oral poetry, performance art, and earth sculpture-is associated in a collective avantgarde project. What artists like Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol, Laurie Anderson, David Antin, and Robert Smithson have in common, Sayre convincingly argues, is a view of art as primarily performative.-- Inhalt: The Object of Performance -- THE RHETORIC OF THE POSE -- Photography and the Portrait as Performance -- A NEW PERSON(A) -- Feminism and the Art of the Seventies -- TRACING DANCE -- Collaboration and the New Gesamtkunstwerk -- THREE PERFORMANCES -- Laurie Anderson, Eleanor Antin, and Carolee Schneemann -- "SO MUCH TO TELL" -- Narrative and the Poetics of the Vernacular -- OPEN SPACE -- Landscape and the Postmodern Sublime -- CRITICAL PERFORMANCE.
