Featuring inventive documentation by the 100 artists who made the first Performa so extraordinary, it offers a view into contemporary visual art performance and "performs" as a collective artists' journal. Photographs of each artist's performance are accompanied by their scripts, sketches and storyboards, providing insight into process and upending conventions around archiving performance. Lively interviews with some of the most significant performance artists of our time appear alongside context-setting essays by curators. Performa founder RoseLee Goldberg, who pioneered the study of performance art, presents an authoritative introduction addressing the genre's many forms--radio broadcast, dance, live installation, new technologies, film and video, music, historic reconstructions and lecture-as-performance among them. Performa is a new kind of guide to cultural life, a time capsule of this very moment in New York's eminent performance history.--From publisher description.
