In this important volume, Jay Sanders and J. Hoberman explore the
vibrant underground performance art scene of 1970s New York.
Focusing on little-known and long-forgotten works, which were often
performed in live/work lofts, storefronts, and alternative spaces
of the city's SoHo district, often for an audience comprising a
handful of fellow artists, this catalogue makes newly visible a
critical period in the development of performance art. Rituals of
Rented Island examines the disparate yet related practices of
twenty artists, including Stuart Sherman; collaborators Yvonne
Rainer and Babette Mangotle; Julia Heyward; Jill Kroesen; Richard
Foreman; Squat Theatre; composer-musician John Zorn; and legendary
playwright and filmmaker Jack Smith; among others. With an array of
previously unpublished images, including installation photographs,
scripts, handwritten notes, and other ephemera, drawn from the
artists' own archives, this volume illuminates the eccentric
singularities of the performance art of this era and its relevance
today. Distributed for the Whitney Museum of American Art
