Summary:
From Gordon Matta-Clark to Lawrence Weiner, Bruce Nauman to Alison Knowles, the question of site locates itself in issues of public space, at the intersection of the imagined and the real, at the juncture of performance and architectural production. By anthologizing essays, documents, and interviews by leading critics, historians, and artists on issues of site-specificity, conceptualism, feminism, and architecture practice, "Surface Tension" reveals the connections between cultural production and the very spaces in which such work functions. These textual explorations are complemented by extensive documentation of related projects, both historical and contemporary, by artists, architects, and performance artists, including 'Coughing Piece', a never-before released 1961 audio work by Yoko Ono; an obscure audio work by Nauman from 1969; projects by Suzanne Lacy, a leading figure in the development of conceptual practice and public art; and an experimental text by Jane Rendell on psychic architectures. Conversations occur between the pages of "Surface Tension", between theoretical analysis and modes of practice, that activate the publication as a site itself, one participating in a broad field of knowledge. Includes an audio CD of the sound art pieces. Artists Include: Gordon Matta-Clark, Lawrence Weiner,Jan Hofer, Melissa Dyne, Kim Abeles, Carol Brown, Christof Migone, Michael Rakowitz, Eyal Weizman, Rafael Lazano-Hemmer, Tanja Jordan, Lizzie Scott, Tim Durfee, Lize Mogel, Suzanne Lacy, Michael Asher, Bruce Nauman, Lucky Kitchen, Michael Prime, Alison Knowles, and Yoko Ono, amongst others.
