About this title

Review:

"Adrian Piper: Race, Gender, and Embodiment is an important book. John P. Bowles has much to say not only about Piper's own artistic journey, but also about how scholars have chosen to read the avant-garde creative production of the 1960s and 1970s, and whether or not one can ever escape the 'burden of the flesh' when one creates or interprets works of art." --Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw, author of Seeing the Unspeakable: The Art of Kara Walker

"John P. Bowles's Adrian Piper: Race, Gender, and Embodiment is a groundbreaking, meticulously researched and beautifully written text that challenges its readers to understand Adrian Piper's early work in provocative new ways. In doing so, Bowles forces us to re-evaluate our understanding of the histories of conceptualism, minimalism, feminism and their intersections with the visual practices of African American artists." --Steven Nelson, University of California, Los Angeles
