| Sumario: | At a moment when performance art, and performance in general, are at the center of the international art world, this book offers insightful readings of major performance pieces by the likes of Acconci, Burden, Abramović, and Hsieh, and confronts the twisting and troubled relationship that performance art has had with the spectator and the public sphere. The author contends that the ethical challenges with which performance art confronts its viewers speak to the reimagining of the audience, in terms that suggest the collapse of notions like "public" and "community." This work is a discussion of the relationship between art and the audience that will appeal to a range of art historians, artists, and readers who are interested in constructions of the public sphere. -- Provided by publisher. |
