Rodenbeck offers a rigorous art historical reading of Kaprow’s project and related artworks. She finds that these experiential and experimental works offered not a happy communalism but a strong and canny critique of contemporary sociality. Happenings, she argues, were far more ambivalent, negative, and even creepy than they have been portrayed, either in contemporaneous accounts or in more recent efforts to connect them to contemporary art’s participatory strategies.

pani documents and contextualises activities of Bbeyond performance art organisation from 2001 to 2008, also covering two exchanges with Québec and Helsinki.

Active in Moscow since 1976, the Collective Actions group played a key role in the development of conceptual and performance art in the Soviet Union. Inspired by the work of John Cage, the organizers invited audiences to take part in minimal, outdoor actions in fields and forests on the edges of the city that explored the nature of the aesthetic event. The publication concentrates on the early period of field actions when the problems of documentation—how to capture and convey ephemeral action to non-participants—were just beginning to be considered.

This publication explores the pivotal role artists play in re-thinking the future; re-inventing and re-imagining our world at a time of systemic change and uncertainty. This book identifies collaborative arts practices emerging in response to planetary challenges, reclaiming a traditional role for artists in the community as truth-tellers and agents of change.

In this article, the author discusses Tino Sehgal's work These Associations (Tate Modern, 2012) considering the reconfiguration of the relationship of the individual to the collective.

This exhibition catalogue brings together material from the artist’s private archive: images, texts, diaries and other ephemera that act as points of reference in Abramović’s oeuvre. The publication includes an essay by the exhibition’s curator, Sophie O’ Brien, and also tracks, through diary entries and photographs, Abramović’s journeys in Brazil in 2013, which informed her planning for the exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery.
