"Everywhere and All at Once: An Anthology of Writings About Performa
07" is the second in a series of publications drawing content and
inspiration from the world-renowned Performa biennials. It reflects the ever-changing nature of the Performa
biennials, offering an exhilarating view into key themes highlighted in
Performa 07.
In addition to providing an in-depth look at new
performances by some of the world's most exciting visual artists, the book focuses on the relationship between contemporary dance and visual art,
the ongoing legacy of Happenings inventor Allan Kaprow, and the recent
explosion of performance in China. Inventive documentation by the one
hundred international artists who participated in the biennial, including
vibrant photographs of each performance along with artists' scripts,
sketches, journals, and storyboards accompanies a wealth of writings by
prominent curators and critics including Anthony Huberman,
Hans Ulrich Obrist, Stephanie Rosenthal, Jay Sanders, and Catherine Wood, as well
as dozens of interviews with some of the most significant artists of our
time, among them
Paul McCarthy,
Dan Graham, Isaac Julien,
Yvonne Rainer, Nathalie Djurberg, and
Jérôme Bel.
"Everywhere and All at Once" is not only an invaluable reference for
years to come, but also a definitive guide to the cultural life of New York
City and the international art world alike, as encapsulated in the
remarkable biennial that brings them together.
