{"product_id":"9788364177385","title":"Points of Convergence: Alternative Views on Performance","description":"\u003cbr\u003eThanks to its very nature, performance enters into natural dialogue with art, new media, politics, and the social sphere as a whole. Always happening in the here and now, and with a unique freedom and openness to the unknown, performance is a medium with a special ability to question its own subjects, materials, and languages. As a result, it is often best reflected in the dynamic character of contemporary art and contemporaneity in the broadest sense of the word.\u003ci\u003e Points of Convergence\u003c\/i\u003e explores these ideas and investigates critical approaches to performance, ultimately aiming to stimulate new discussion between theorists and practitioners.\u003cp\u003eWith twelve essays by leading figures in the field of performance arts, this illustrated volume is structured in two parts. The first, authored by academics in the discipline, features an introduction to key areas of scholastic research. The second part, authored by curators and other researchers, then focuses on an account of individual traditions of performance. Taken together, the contributions identify new possibilities for interaction between the theoretical aspects of performance art and the ways performance plays out within local contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037933158640,"sku":"9788364177385","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9788364177385_p0.jpg?v=1763726100","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9788364177385","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
