It examines the 'performance of extremity' as practices at the limits of the histories of performance and art, in performance art's most fertile and prescient decade, the 1970s. Dominic Johnson recounts and analyses game-changing performance events by six artists: Kerry Trengove, Ulay, Genesis P-Orridge, Anne Bean, the Kipper Kids, and Stephen Cripps. Through close encounters with these six artists and their works, and a broader contextual milieu of artists and works, Johnson articulates a counter-history of actions in a new narrative of performance art in the 1970s, to rethink and rediscover the history of contemporary art and performance. 650 0 $a Art, Modern $y 20th century $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Performance art $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Aesthetics. 776 08 $i Electronic version: $a Johnson, Dominic. $t Unlimited action. $d Manchester : Manchester University Press 2019 $z 9781526135506 $w (OCoLC)1065537666 830 0 $a Theatre (Manchester, England) 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019012933.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190702015954.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8715571E6CA011E9A39CB90697128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
