RoseLee Goldberg is Director of Performa, a multi-disciplinary arts organization for the research, development and presentation of 21st-century visual art performance.Among her other books are Performance: Live Art Since the 60s and Laurie Anderson, both published by Thames & Hudson.
'RoseLee Goldberg’s writings on Performance as an art and activity
have been THE necessary texts that inform our discovery and
understanding of this complexly critical yet seductively available
cultural practice. Performance Now continues to follow this dynamic
live art into the 21st century with an expansiveness and rigor that
has made Goldberg’s writings an indispensable chronicling of both
art and its time' - Barbara Kruger
'An extensive survey of the most ground-breaking performance
artists living and working today' - Dazed & Confused
'Goldberg’s specificity of language means that transitions between
crisp descriptions and concise analyses of contexts are
consistently thought-provoking' - frieze
'This book shows how Performance Art has infected Visual Art, World
Citizenship, Politics, Choreography, Theatre and Architecture.
Performance Art is a virus that doesn’t destroy, but gives oxygen
and life … RoseLee Goldberg, you gave and give us an insight into
what Performance Art has been, how it has developed and where it is
at this moment. Thanks for this precious gift to all of us' - Ivo
van Hove, Theatre Director
