[ebooks] Bobbie Gentry's Ode to Billie Joe (33 1/3) by Tara Murtha at Arts-Photography

Description

Este libro presenta una sugerente y provocadora diseccioacute;n criacute;tica del arte del performance. Josefina Alcaacute;zar rastrea los oriacute;genes del performance y explora sus afinidades con la autobiografiacute;a y el autorretrato. A fines de la deacute;cada de los sesenta y principios de los setenta del siglo XX; los artistas empezaron a usar su propio cuerpo no soacute;lo como tema sino tambieacute;n como materia prima y objeto artiacute;stico. En la buacute;squeda de siacute; mismos; los artistas realizaron exploraciones vitales y psiacute;quicas; trayectos interiores hacia la construccioacute;n de un autorretrato viviente. Partiendo de su cuerpo; empezaron a reflexionar sobre la identidad del yo. Algunos optaron por hacer puacute;blicas sus preocupaciones privadas; otros usaron su cuerpo como plaza puacute;blica para que en eacute;l se expresara una identidad colectiva; muchas performanceras hicieron de su cuerpo un espacio de resistencia para luchar contra los estereotipos de geacute;nero; y vieron en su cuerpo un yo en permanente construccioacute;n; un yo muacute;ltiple y mutable.La autora analiza con agudeza el aparente narcisismo de la eacute;poca actual y sentilde;ala que es una expresioacute;n de la preocupacioacute;n por el cuerpo; que habiacute;a sido considerado uacute;nicamente como un receptaacute;culo del alma. Artistas del performance recurren a la autobiografiacute;a en vivo como medio para develar su intimidad; expresar sus angustias y sus miedos o para analizar el contexto social en que viven. El performance se inscribe en el espacio autobiograacute;fico que ha llevado a un fortalecimiento de la reflexividad; a la buacute;squeda de la experiencia vivida y a la obsesioacute;n por lo real.Este libro es fruto de una investigacioacute;n acuciosa y de una reflexioacute;n creativa sobre temas tan inquietantes como la identidad; el cuerpo y el yo; tal como se expresan en las formas maacute;s innovadoras; transgresoras e irreverentes del arte contemporaacute;neo.

It chronicles some of the key artists that picked up the torch from Bird; Diz; Monk; and Bud to create a music that still stands as the dominant canvas for musicians today. In this Mathieson does an admirable job of satisfying the long-time listener and neophyte alike. I especially enjoyed reading about some of the often overlooked yet equally essential artists like Booker Ervin; Elmo Hope and Gigi Gryce and personal favorites like Sonny Clark; Hank Mobley and Kenny Dorham. The biographical information is good but the real reward was the discographical offerings. Matheson makes it easy to find those albums that both serve as examples of their individual talents and as milestones in American music. Cookin is a recommended read for anyone looking for a way into this time in music. It is also a book for those of us who love revisiting the music and lives of these legends.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
