Alexander Proven Amaxon.com: Allen's book is a great chronicle of the rise and fall of artists' magazines--among them Aspen, 0 to 9, Avalanche, Art-Rite, FILE, and Real Life--that, in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, provided a space for artists to colonize the discourse of the art world, and do so in their own voices. Artists like Robert Smithson, Dan Graham, Mel Bochner, and Vito Acconci created magazine art where criticism had once been, emphasizing the materiality of language, denying its ability to communicate. (Graham's "Schema," a site-specific instructional piece published in a variety of magazines in the 60s and 70s, is a paramount example; it consisted of a template to be completed by the editor, in accordance with the magazine's typography, design, and layout, producing a new work in...

Scope and Contents Amazon.com review: "Impossible Histories is the first critical survey of the extraordinary experiments in the arts that took place in the former Yugoslavia from the country's founding in 1918 to its breakup in 1991. The combination of Austro-Hungarian, French, German, Italian, and Turkish influences gave Yugoslavia's avant-gardes a distinct character unlike those of other Eastern and Central European avant-gardes.

Even at this late stage in the scholarly investigation of the avant-garde, few Westerners have heard of the movements Belgrade surrealism, signalism, Yugo-Dada, and zenitism; the groups Alfa, Exat 51, Gorgona, OHO, and Scipion Nasice Sisters Theater; or the magazines Danas, Red Pilot, Tank, Vecnost, and Zvrk. The pieces in this collection offer comparative...
