Over the course of fifteen years, Nicholas Zurbrugg interviewed the
avant-garde poets, filmmakers, dancers, writers, composers, and performance
artists who were defying tradition, crossing genres, and forever changing
how art would be created, performed, and interpreted.
The book features interviews with Kathy Acker, Charles Amirkhanian, Laurie
Anderson, Robert Ashley, Beth B, David Blair, William S. Burroughs, Warren
Burt, John Cage, Richard Foreman, Kenneth Gaburo, Diamanda Galás, John
Giorno, Philip Glass, Brion Gysin, Dick Higgins, Jenny Holzer, Mike Kuchar,
Robert Lax, Jackson Mac Low, Meredith Monk, Nam June Paik, Yvonne Rainer,
Steve Reich, Rachel Rosenthal, Bill Viola, Larry Wendt, Emmett Williams,
Robert Wilson, Nick Zedd, and Ellen Zweig. Introductory notes to each
interview provide context and connect the work and experiences of various
artists, and photographs of these artists contribute a significant visual
element to the book.
³An invaluable resource. These rare firsthand accounts reveal the thinking
behind the radical, ephemeral forms of art making that emerged from the
1960s onward, by some of the period's most influential artists. Nicholas
Zurbrugg's dedication has produced a precious legacy: art history told
through the voice of the artist.² ‹Chrissie Iles
