Description
Cutting Performances: A provocative re-examination of the American avant-garde through the lens of feminist performance art. This book challenges prevailing scholarship on the American avant-garde by offering a radical reconceptualization of its history, focusing on five women artists who employed collage techniques in their performances. James M. Harding sheds light on the cultural significance of these artists and their use of collage as a mode of avant-garde expression. Their innovative approach to performance art produced powerful effects, making the familiar strange and establishing new contexts for understanding. By exploring the role of experimental women artists in shaping the history of the avant-garde, Harding offers a compelling case for revisioning our understanding of this pivotal moment in cultural history.
