This book draws a vibrant portrait of the artists and performers who gave the 1963 Village its exhilarating force, the avant-garde whose interweaving of public and private life, work and play, art and ordinary experience, began a wholesale reworking of the social and cultural fabric of America.
Exploration of art from the position of the producer, who does not ask what it looks like or where it comes from, but why it exists in the first place.
Professional writers, artists and cultural critics from around the world offer their views on the issue of the artist’s responsibility to society.
