Committed to the city as well as to maintaining an international  scope, PS1 has always put the artist at the center, engaging practitioners old and  young, well established or completely unknown, and at work in every discipline from  performance, music, dance, poetry, and new media to painting, sculpture, photography,  and architecture. This groundbreaking publication captures the vibrancy, scrappy  idiosyncrasy, and stubborn contemporaneity of a long and venerable tradition that  began with the legendary series of performances organized by founder Alanna Heiss  under the Brooklyn Bridge in 1971.\n\nOrganized into three main sections that delve into PS1's rich history during the  1970s, 1980s, and 1990s and beyond, the book features in-depth conversations  between Heiss and Klaus Biesenbach, the current director of MoMA PS1, and over  40 recollections and statements, both new and historical, by artists, curators, and  critics closely associated with the institution, including Rebecca Quaytman, James  Turrell, Andrea Zittel and many others. Extensive illustrations include photographic  documentation of exhibitions and performances from the archives, facsimile catalogue  pages, letters, applications to the studio program, exhibition posters, and event  invitations. Complete with an illustrated chronology and comprehensive exhibition  history, this book offers a vivid chronicle of the extraordinary history of MoMA PS1","brand":"The Museum of Modern Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664329281572,"sku":"9781633450691","price":115.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9781633450691.jpg?v=1777356303","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/history-of-ps1","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
