Inhaltsangabe

Published for MoMA's retrospective exhibition and in collaboration with the artist, this volume presents new critical essays that expand on Piper's practice in ways that have been previously under- or unaddressed. Focused texts by established and emerging scholars assess themes in Piper's work such as the Kantian framework that draws on her extensive philosophical studies; her unique contribution to first-generation conceptual art; the turning point in her work, in the early 1970s, from conceptual works to performance; the connection of her work with her yoga practice; her ongoing exposure of and challenge to xenophobia and sexism; and the relation between prevailing interpretations of her work and the viewers who engender them.

Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Adrian Piper has consistently produced ground-breaking and transformative work that has profoundly shaped the form and content of conceptual art since the 1960s. Strongly inflected by her longstanding involvements with philosophy and yoga, her pioneering investigations into the political, social, psychological and spiritual potential of conceptual art have had an incalculable influence on artists working today. In conjunction with MoMA’s forthcoming Adrian Piper retrospective exhibition, and in collaboration with the artist, the Museum is publishing a ‘reader’ of new critical essays on her work. The publication will include six previously unpublished essays by established and emerging scholars. These narrowly focused essays will assess subjects of Piper’s work such as those that owe their framework to Kantian philosophy―which she holds a PhD from Harvard in; examine the turning point in her work from 1969–74 in subverting race and gender; and Piper’s intimate and authoritative artworks that examine xenophobia and racism.
