Description

Performance Artists Talking in the Eighties by Linda Montano explores the connection between childhood experiences and adult artistic work. In this original talking performance, Montano invites over 100 artists to share their thoughts on how early events influenced their later creations. The interviews reveal complex issues in performance art, including the role of identity in performer-audience relationships and the exploration of everyday conventions through art. This book provides a unique insight into the production of art in an often misunderstood community, shedding light on the relationship between art and life, history and memory, and individual and societal change. Through her discussions with prominent performance artists, Montano uncovers the intricacies of this important field, offering a compelling and thought-provoking look at the intersection of art and everyday life.
