Adrian Piper: A Reader

New York, The Museum of Modern Art, 2018. Softcover. Octavo. Softcover. Illustrated wraps. 276 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 25 cm. "Published for MoMA's retrospective exhibition and in collaboration with the artist, this volume presents new critical essays that expand on Piper's practice in ways that have been previously under- or unaddressed. Focused texts by established and emerging scholars assess themes in Piper's work such as the Kantian framework that draws on her extensive philosophical studies; her unique contribution to first-generation conceptual art; the turning point in her work, in the early 1970s, from conceptual works to performance; the connection of her work with her yoga practice; her ongoing exposure of and challenge to xenophobia and sexism; and the relation between prevailing interpretations of her work and the viewers who engender them. VG. Light shelf wear.

Pictorial end papers. 327 pages : illustrations (some color), portraits (some color) ; 24 cm. "In 2005 Adrian Piper secretly emigrated from the United States. Several months passed before anyone realized she had disappeared. She resurfaced in Berlin and has lived there ever since. Piper has consistently and firmly refused to return to the U.S. or explain why she left. Many assume it was because she discovered her name on the U.S. Department of Transportation Security's Suspicious Travelers Watch List. Others point to Wellesley College's forcible termination of her tenured Full Professorship. Yet others speculate that George W. Bush's presidency, or American racism, or the invasion of Iraq compelled her to leave. All of these conjectures are groundless. ESCAPE TO BERLIN: A Travel Memoir is a gripping autobiographical narrative that provides a full account of the facts, "--Artist's website (viewed on February 7, 2018). German/English Text. VG.
