Now in paperback, an updated edition of a visually stunning
documentary record and critical account of Tehching Hsieh's epic
performance works. In the vibrant downtown Manhattan art scene of
the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Taiwanese-American artist
Tehching Hsieh made a series of extraordinary performance art
works. Between September 1978 and July 1986, Hsieh realized five
separate one-year-long performance pieces in which he conformed to
simple but highly restrictive rules throughout each entire year.
Through the course of these lifeworks, Hsieh moved from a year of
solitary confinement in a sealed cell to a year in which he punched
a worker's time clock in his studio every hour on the hour to a
year spent living without shelter in Manhattan to a year in which
he was tied by an eight-foot rope to the artist Linda Montano and
finally to a year of total abstention from all art activities and
influences. In 1986 Hsieh announced that he would spend the next
thirteen years making art but not showing it publicly. When this
"final" lifework-an immense act of self-affirmation and
self-erasure-came to a close at the turn of the millennium, he
tersely and enigmatically said that during this time he had simply
kept himself alive. After years of near-invisibility, Hsieh
collaborated with the British writer and curator Adrian Heathfield
to create this meticulous and visually arresting documentary record
of the complete body of Tehching Hsieh's performance projects from
1978 to 1999. This milestone volume is now available again, in a
paperback edition featuring the full text and all the illustrations
in the hardcover, with an updated list of Hsieh's exhibitions.
