Within two years, Forti’s conceptually forceful Dance Constructions had premiered in Yoko Ono’s loft and Rainer had cofounded the groundbreaking Judson Dance Theater. \u003ci\u003eRadical Bodies\u003c\/i\u003e reunites Halprin, Forti, and Rainer for the first time inmore than fifty-five years.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Dance was a fundamental part of the art world in the 1960s, the most volatile decade in American art, offering a radical image of bodily presence in a moment of revolutionary change.  Halprin, Forti, and Rainer\u003cb\u003e—\u003c\/b\u003eall with Jewish roots\u003cb\u003e—\u003c\/b\u003efound themselves at the epicenter of this upheaval.

Placing the body and performance at the center of debate, each developed corporeal languages and methodologies that continue to influence choreographers and visual artists around the world to the present day, enabling a critical practice that reinserts social and political issues into postmodern dance and art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Published in association with the Art, Design \u0026amp; Architecture Museum, University of California, Santa Barbara.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Exhibition dates:\u003cbr\u003e Art, Design \u0026amp; Architecture Museum, University of California, Santa Barbara: January 17–April 30, 2017\u003cbr\u003e New York Public Library for the Performing Arts: May 24–September 16, 2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Events:\u003cbr\u003e Pillowtalks, Jacob’s Pillow, Becket, MA: July 1, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ninotchka Bennahum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48275127730427,"sku":"9780520293366","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9780520293366_654b0a83-d99f-435f-bd4b-0ca21a0adf6a.jpg?v=1772481582","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/radical-bodies-9780520293366","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
