Description: "After years of near-invisibility, the artist Tehching Hsieh has now collaborated with the writer and curator Adrian Heathfield to create this meticulous and visually arresting record of the complete body of his artworks from 1978-1999." "Out of Now is also the first extensive critical account of these remarkable works. Heathfield's astute meditation is complemented by an intensive exchange with the artists and a set of letters from leading art theorists Peggy Phelan and Carol Becker, and the artists Marina Abramovic, Santiago Sierra, and Tim Etchells." "This volume is essential reading for all those interested in recent art history, conceptual art, visual culture, and the practice of performance"--Jacket.
