Scope and Contents This is the first edition of the book. Lost Books synopsis: Who invented the miniskirt? What avant-garde artist made a film of 200 human behinds? Why is a themepark a work of art? Who turned a urinal upside down, mounted it to a board, and submitted it to an art exhibit, signed "R. Mutt"?Our era is one of nearly constant innovation and change. The new is constantly pushing aside the old; and the once unimaginable-even the once ridiculed-is now commonplace. A Dictionary of the Avant-Gardes recognizes that change is a driving force in all the arts. It covers major trends in music, dance, theater, film, visual art, sculpture, and performance art--as well as architecture, science, and culture.

Scope and Contents Synopsis review: Digital Currents explores the growing impact of digital technologies on aesthetic experience and examines the major changes taking place in the role of the artist as social communicator. Just as the rise of photographic techniques in the mid 1800s shattered traditional views about representation, so too have contemporary electronic tools catalysed new perspectives on art, affecting the way artists see, think, and work, and the ways in which their productions are distributed and communicated.

Scope and Contents

This book tracks the interdisciplinary and international arts movement that began in the 1960's..."Fluxus is both an attitude towards art -making and culture that is not historically limited, and a specific historic group...This attitude is in part traceable to the network of interrelated ideas about culture, politics, and society explored earlier in the twentieth century by the Futurists, the Dadaists, and the Surrealists. Some of these same ideas were later explored after World War II by artists associated with groups such as Lettrism, International Situationism, Nouveau Realisme, and Fluxus itself." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents This book consists of four major sections. The first is a repetitious short prose piece that reads, "The top is, originally, a tuft of hair, or the hair of the head. The top is the head, or the crown of the head...." This is repeated on the next nine pages with minor modifications to the dense of the piece. The second section consists of one to three photocopied columns of the NYC telephone white pages with a list of brief typewritten comments, one to a page. For example, these phrases include "rank, from the waist up, Beside the lamp, By now, Helen and Charles, hand in hand, David's arm,"etc. There does not appear to be a direct relationship between the lists from the telephone book and Acconci's list. The third section consists of two line poems, placed with a line drawing of a rectangle with content as follows, e.g., "I go where--we go off, He goes back to where--those go back on him." The fourth section consists of brief alternating single lines of dialog. -- Source of...
