Hurray for People: Yvonne Rainer -- 2. Concretions : Carolee Schneemann -- 3. Reasons to Move : Vito Acconci -- Coda : Forming the Senses."...Examines the 1960s performance work of three New York artists who adapted modernist approaches to form for the medium of the human body. Finding parallels between the tactility of a drip of paint and a body's reflexive movements, Elise Archias argues convincingly that Yvonne Rainer (b. 1934), Carolee Schneemann (b. 1939), and Vito Acconci (b. 1940) forged a dialogue between modernist aesthetics and their own artistic community's embrace of all things ordinary through work that explored the abstraction born of the body's materiality. Rainer's task-like dances, Schneemann's sensuous appropriations of popular entertainment, and Acconci's behaviorist-inflected tests highlight the body's unintended movements as vital reminders of embodied struggle amid the constraining structures in contemporary culture. Archias also draws compelling comparisons between embodiment as performed in the work of these three artists and in the sit-ins and other nonviolent protests of the era"--Publisher's description.Arts, AmericanNew York (State)New YorkHistory20th centuryPerformance artNew York (State)New YorkHistoryPerformance artistsUnited States20th centuryPerformance artfast(OCoLC)fst01057852United StatesfastArts, AmericanPerformance artPerformance artistsPerformance art.700.904LH 70410rvkArchias Elise1220783Yale University Press,EBLCPEBLCPN$TIDEBKEBLCPOCLCQN$TMERUCCCOCSAILTEFODOCLCFUABOCLCQOTZOCLCQWRMOCLCQINTYDXOCLCQIDBOCLCQYUSBOOK9910148635903321The concrete body2827795UNINA
