Beyond the Happening

More about the book

Exploring the evolution of performance art, this book delves into the interdisciplinary works that followed the early Happenings, challenging their perceived obsolescence in the mid-1960s. It highlights artists like Allan Kaprow, Marta Minujín, Carolee Schneemann, and Lea Lublin, who redefined the Happening to address themes of communication, counterculture, and feminist consciousness. By examining their contributions, it emphasizes the international dialogue and collaborative dynamics in a globalized context, making it essential for historians of post-1960 performance art and related fields.
