Description
This scholarly volume presents new critical essays that expand on Adrian Piper's practice in ways previously under- or unaddressed. In collaboration with the artist and published in conjunction with MoMA's retrospective exhibition, it offers fresh perspectives on her work.
Established and emerging scholars assess themes in Piper's oeuvre, including her philosophical studies, contributions to Conceptual art, and exploration of performance as a medium. The book also examines the connections between her practice and yoga, as well as her ongoing critiques of xenophobia and sexism.
The volume provides a nuanced understanding of prevailing interpretations of Piper's work and their relationship with the viewers who engage with them.
