{"product_id":"the-art-of-living-dominic-johnson-9781137322210","title":"The Art of Living: An Oral History of Performance Art","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcross a series of 12 in-depth interviews with a diverse range of major artists, Dominic Johnson presents a new oral history of performance art. From uses of body modification and physical extremity, to the creation of all-encompassing personae, to performance pieces lasting months or years, these artists have provoked and explored the vital limits between art and life. Their discussions with Johnson give us a glimpse of their artistic motivations, preoccupations, processes, and contexts. Despite the diversity of art forms and experiences featured, common threads weave between the interviews: love, friendship, commitment, death and survival. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach interview is preceded by an overview of the artist's work, and the volume itself is introduced by a thoughtful critical essay on performance art and oral history. The conversational tone of the interviews renders complex ideas and theoretical propositions accessible, making this an ideal book for students of theatre and performance, as well as for artists, scholars and general readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dominic Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1137322217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781137322210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 0.90d","brand":"Dominic Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43924163657983,"sku":"9781137322210","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f5f96c62-25df-4ec4-8e75-aa69531924c2.jpg?v=1681068845","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-art-of-living-dominic-johnson-9781137322210","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
