If you are in Los Angeles, please join us for Ugly Duckling Presse‘s Emergency Index Vol. 3 launch party at Printed Matter‘s Los Angeles Art Book Fair, at the Geffen Museum of Contemporary Art, January 30th at 6pm!
My literature-video-and-performance work SIX NIGHTS IN IGNAZ GUNTHER HAUS (with choreographer Alexx Shilling and composer Arthur Kell) surrounding sexual fetish in post-genocidal communities. The piece included in the anthology, and clips from the performances at the Jewish Museum Munich will be screened.
There will be short performances by Index contributors Steven Chodoriwsky, Neha Choksi, Sean J Patrick Carney & Michael Welsh, Am Schmidt and Angela Washko, who will be re-performing / interpreting / responding to other performances documented in Vol. 3! We would love to see you there! Admission is free.
This is a bible of performance art activity. And if you are, like I am, a believer in performance art and the value of this ephemeral art activity to change the hearts and minds and consciousness of people, then you need to have this bible in your life. The end.”—MARTHA WILSON
“We’ve been seeing performance art materialize around us, but without feeling that there was a context for such ideas. Artists have been doing such pieces for a long time without much recognition that in fact their ideas are related. Now, with Emergency INDEX, we get the sense of a magical secret shared among many artists. Emergency INDEX is a profoundly important publication. It guides us to a new place.”—ROBERT ASHLEY
