An aesthetic and social history of art and dance in
mid-20th-century New York interpreted by contemporary artist Nick
Mauss Over the past decade, Nick Mauss (b. 1980) has pursued a
hybrid mode of working that melds the roles of curator, artist, and
scholar. Following his highly acclaimed 2018 Whitney Museum of
American Art exhibition Transmissions, this volume elaborates on
the artist's complex portrait of mid-century New York as seen
through the prism of modernist ballet. By pairing installation
views of the exhibition and photographs of its daily performances
by Paula Court and Ken Okiishi with reproductions of artworks,
ballet programs, and fashion magazines, Transmissions animates the
vividly enmeshed social and artistic networks that shaped both
modern art and modern ballet. Through his emphasis on the
collaborations and intimacies between models, dancers,
photographers, choreographers, painters, sculptors, filmmakers,
publishers, critics, amateurs, and devotees, Mauss re-calibrates
the standard narrative of American modernism to locate performance,
spectatorship, and the eroticized body at its center. Transmissions
features reproductions of documents and artworks-a number published
here for the first time-by Paul Cadmus, George Platt Lynes,
Dorothea Tanning, Carl Van Vechten, Isamu Noguchi, Pavel
Tchelitchew, Walker Evans, Ilse Bing, PaJaMa, Man Ray, Maya Deren,
Marcel Duchamp, Elie Nadelman, Eugene Berman, Peter Hujar, and many
more. Additional texts address the subjects of ballet and the body,
Mauss's work as an artist and curator, and performance within
museum spaces, while an extensive conversation with the sixteen
dancers who participated in the Whitney exhibition brings rare
insight into the labor of making performance-based work while
negotiating diverging legacies of embodiment. Distributed for the
Whitney Museum of American Art and Dancing Foxes Press
