An unprecedented look at the contemporary collective's theatrical
art, charting their performances and exploring their social and
creative commitments The first monographic publication on the art
collective My Barbarian (Malik Gaines, Jade Gordon, and Alexandro
Segade) offers new insights into the work of this singular group of
performers. My Barbarian has used performance to theatricalize
social issues, adapting narratives from modern plays, historical
texts, and mass media; this volume accompanies a major
retrospective celebrating the group's twentieth anniversary. An
overview essay relates their work's formal qualities to several
historical moments over this span: the club era following September
11, 2001; postcolonial theater after the 2008 financial collapse;
and political theater responding to the pressing issues of today.
Other contributions read the collective's output through a lens of
queer and other critical theory, and contextualize it within the
twenty-first-century experimental performance scene. A richly
illustrated visual chronology features texts on each of My
Barbarian's past works written by the artists. Performances and
video works are re-created using stills alongside photos, drawings,
scripts, and personal materials drawn from the artists' archives,
many never previously published. Distributed for the Whitney Museum
of American Art Exhibition Schedule: Whitney Museum of American
Art, New York (October 29, 2021-February 27, 2022) Institute of
Contemporary Arts, Los Angeles (September 2022-January 2023)
