The result is an original and compelling talking performance that documents the production of art in an important and often misunderstood community. Among the more than 100 artists Montano interviewed from 1979 to 1989 were John Cage, Suzanne Lacy, Faith Ringgold, Dick Higgins, Annie Sprinkle, Allan Kaprow, Meredith Monk, Eric Bogosian, Adrian Piper, Karen Finley, and Kim Jones. Her discussions with them focused on the relationship between art and life, history and memory, the individual and society, and the potential for individual and social change. The interviews highlight complex issues in performance art, including the role of identity in performer-audience relationships and art as an exploration of everyday conventions rather than a demonstration of virtuosity. 606 $aPerformance artists$zUnited States$vInterviews 606 $aPerformance art$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPerformance artists 615 0$aPerformance art 676 $a709/.2/273 700 $aMontano$b Linda M., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01035045 701 $aMontano$b Linda$f1942-$01035046 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454837703321 996 $aPerformance artists talking in the eighties$92454537 997 $aUNINA
