"Individuals" records in text and illustrations some of the significant work being created today by America's avant-garde artists. Alan Sondheim, a young artist/critic, has collected in this volume the work of fifteen artists who share a common stance- a sensibility- probably best described by the following personal, eclectic, intellectual, literary, antireductive, and historical. The work found in this volume can be seen as an attempt to clear space for "the world of the self." Individuals should be studied by all interested in the newest directions being taken by American art. Includes works, art, and writings Walter Abish, Vito Acconci, Laurie Anderson, David Askevold, Alice Aycock, Robert Horvitz, Nancy Wilson Kitchel, Alvin Lucier, Bernadette Mayer, Rosemary Mayer, Mike Metz, Ree Morton, Dennis Oppenheim, Adrian Piper, and Charles Simonds.
