Description
This book explores the development of multi-media video, installation and performance through a unique dialogue between theoretical analysis and specially commissioned documentations by leading artists. Nick Kaye examines the interdisciplinary history and character of experimental practices that combine music, installation, theatre, performance art, conceptual art, sculpture and video.
The book delves into key themes and concerns in multi-media practice, addressing topics such as time, space, ephemerality, liveness and 'aura'. It features documentary artwork and essays by artists whose work continues to shape the field, including new articles from prominent figures. A major documentary essay by Paolo Rosa of Studio Azzurro is also reintroduced in a new, fully illustrated form.
This book combines sophisticated scholarly analysis with original work, presenting a refreshing and creative investigation of current multi-media arts practice.
