Soho: The Rise and Fall of an Artists' ColonyPsychology Press, 2003 - 250 Seiten "Richard Kostelanetz not only discusses how the artists came and why, he also focuses on some of the most creative, describing both the lives and work of artists Nam June Paik, Robert Wilson, Meredith Monk, Richard Foreman, Hannah Wilke, Richard Schechner, George Maciunas, and Alan Suicide, among others. The galleries followed the artists, and the artists utilized the places around them, fashioning their homes, their buildings, and even their streets into makeshift exhibition and performance spaces. Such an ideal situation - totally unplanned - could not last forever; the author shows how market forces squeezed out this art utopia, trading in on the allure of its unique character, to be replaced by a shadow of itself, "SoMall," with the coming of trendy stores and restaurants. |
