'We got to talking' so David Antin begins the introduction to
"Radical Coherency", embarking on the pursuit that has marked much
of his breathless, brilliantly conversational work. From his
position in the visual arts department at the University of
California, San Diego, Antin has served since the late 1960s as
bantering laureate of the American avant garde. Whether spoken
under the guise of performance artist or poet, cultural explorer or
literary critic, his innovative observations have helped us to
better understand everything from Pop to Postmodernism. Intimately
wedded to the worlds of conceptual art and poetics, "Radical
Coherency" collects Antin's influential critical essays and
spontaneous, performed lectures (or 'talk-pieces') for the very
first time, capturing one of the most distinctive perspectives in
contemporary literature. The essays presented here range from
front-line interventions in present debates on poetics to fugitive
pieces from the '60s and '70s that still sparkle today - and
represent a goldmine for art historians of the period. From Andy
Warhol to Allan Kaprow, Mark Rothko to Ludwig Wittgenstein, Antin
takes the reader on an idiosyncratic, personal journey through
twentieth-century culture, including his earliest publications in
"ARTNews" and more recent reflections on the legendary figures who
ran in his circle. Forty years in the making, "Radical Coherency"
will be welcomed by any fan of this consummate trailblazer.
