Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A deep dive into the practice of performance artist Leigh Bowery that reveals the fullness of his extravagant range. Leigh Bowery: Performative Costuming and Live Art is a critical exploration of the creative practice, social-historical context, and cultural impact of the late London-based ar…tist Leigh Bowery. The diversity of Bowery's work and his marginality as an artist who emerged during the 1980s from a subcultural milieu complicated and thwarted his cultural value, hindering his incorporation into art institutions and performance art narratives for some time. Drawing on a variety of disciplines and challenging research contexts, Sofia Vranou seeks to historicize Bowery's multifaceted body of work and critically situate it within the expanded fields of visual culture and performance studies. Through close analysis of Bowery's key looks and non-theatrical performances, the book investigates the implications of his work in dominant histories of performance art and urgent discourses surrounding normativity, representations of illness, and identity politics. Thought-provoking and engaging, it focuses on Bowery's costuming as a performative strategy that effectively blurs the boundaries between art and life; delves into his aesthetics of freakishness and narcissistic desire, reflects on his involvement with BDSM practices and the performance of extremity, and unpacks the posttranssexual ethos behind his hybrid embodiments and trans-queer visual language.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Last Artist Standing shares the essays of the lives of 31 artists over the age of 50, how they have sustained their creative lives, what paths they have led, showing who contemporary artists are today. They are mentors to other artists, having learned how to thrive and be creative through dec…ades of life's travails. Sharon Louden wants to share these stories with the public so that their models can be replicated by all age groups, both within and beyond the art world. This collection addresses the ability of these artists to remain contemporary as they adapt through generational shifts, the physical, financial and professional challenges they have overcome to remain vibrant and sustaining artists, and their role as inspirational models to others who may be turning to art late in their lives.
