Description and Table of Contents
Description
One of the most rigorous, authoritative surveys of this influential movement.
Table of Contents
- Survey - Philosopher and art historian Peter Osborne provides a complete overview of the movement, its origins and its legacy, tracing its early development from the experimental music scores of John Cage, through the 1961 'instruction paintings' of Yoko Ono to 'scores' or instructions for events and actions in the mid 1960s work of artists such as Lawrence Weiner and Vito Acconci. The Survey discusses in depth each of the six categories of work illustrated in the Works section
- Works - The colour plate section, each image accompanied by a full description, is divided into eight sections: Pre-history, 1940-1960 - Instruction, Performance, Documentation - Process, System, Series - Word and Sign - Appropriation, Intervention, Everyday - Politics and Ideology - Institutional Critique - Afterwards, 1980-2000
- Documents - Critical anthology including 'cultural context' texts by writers and thinkers who were influential on the movement, alongside key original texts by artists, critics, curators and art historians
