RoseLee Goldberg amazed with PERFORMA 05, billed as the city's first biennial of 'visual art performance.' Working with a tiny staff, a shoestring budget and no institutional affiliation, Ms. Goldberg put together a program that covered a lot of aesthetic bases--old school, just out of school, high-tech, no-tech--and encompassed more than 60 scheduled events all of which makes the prospect of PERFORMA 07 shine with promise. --Roberta Smith, the New York Times This volume is the first in a series of important publications drawing content and inspiration from the PERFORMA biennial. Featuring inventive documentation by the 100 artists who made the first PERFORMA so extraordinary, it offers an exhilarating view into contemporary visual art performance and "performs" as a collective artists' journal might. Vibrant photographs of each artist's performance are accompanied by their scripts, sketches and storyboards, providing unique insight into process and upending conventions around archiving performance. Lively interviews with some of the most significant artists of our time--including Francis Alys, Tamy Ben-Tor, Jesper Just, Marina Abramovic, Gelitin, Laurie Simmons and Mike Smith--appear alongside context-setting essays by some of our most inspired young curators. PERFORMA founder RoseLee Goldberg, who pioneered the study of performance art with her seminal book Performance Art from Futurism to the Present (1979), presents an authoritative introduction addressing the genre's many forms--radio broadcast, dance, live installation, new technologies, film and video, music, historic reconstructions and lecture-as-performance among them. PERFORMA is not only an invaluable reference, it is a new kind of guide to cultural life, a time capsule of this very moment in New York's eminent performance history, complete with profiles of the city's nonprofit biennial venues that, like this book, give ephemeral art a physical place in which to persist.

这本书的叙事节奏把握得极其糟糕,时而快得让人喘不过气,强迫你在短时间内消化大量信息,时而又慢得令人昏昏欲睡,仿佛作者在原地踏步,反复强调一些早已被证实的常识。这种极端的摇摆不定,使得阅读成为一种身心俱疲的体验。更让人恼火的是,作者似乎沉醉于对自身的智慧进行反复的自我确认,书中充斥着大量的自我引用和对过去成就的回顾,这让人感觉自己更像是在阅读一份获奖感言,而不是一本面向未来的、旨在开拓新视野的著作。在需要具体行动指南的地方,它给出了模糊的诗意描绘;而在应该进行深入探讨的地方,它却草草收场,转而投向更具感召力但空泛的口号。我花了大量时间去寻找那个“隐藏的宝藏”,但最终发现,所谓的宝藏可能根本就不存在,或者被作者小心翼翼地藏在了连他自己都无法确定的角落里。
评分这本书的装帧设计和排版确实是上乘之作,每一次翻页都带着一种仪式感,纸张的质感和字体的选择都透露出出版方的高级品味。然而,不幸的是,这种视觉上的享受并没有能很好地延续到内容层面。从内容上看,它更像是一本未经严格编辑的、作者心血来潮的“随笔集锦”,缺乏一个强有力的、贯穿始终的主线。不同的章节之间,主题的衔接显得生硬而突兀,仿佛是作者在不同时间点记录下的零散想法的堆砌。我常常在读完一个部分后,需要花很长时间来调整我的认知框架,以适应下一个部分完全不同的论述角度。这种阅读体验是碎片化的,让人难以建立起一个完整、系统性的知识体系。如果将这本书比作一栋建筑,那么它的地基是松散的,上层的装饰再华丽,也无法弥补结构上的缺陷。我期待的深度挖掘,最终只落得一个“浅尝辄止”的遗憾。
评分这本书,恕我直言,读起来简直像是在迷宫里绕圈子,每一页都充满了故作高深的术语和模糊不清的描述,让我这个抱着学习态度的读者感到无比沮丧。作者似乎沉迷于构建一个宏大而复杂的理论框架,但最终呈现出来的却是一堆空中楼阁,缺乏最基本的落地性。我尝试着去理解那些反复出现的概念,希望能在后续章节中找到清晰的解释,然而,每一次的尝试都只是将我推向更深的困惑之中。它更像是一本为同行间的“清谈”准备的文本,充满了只有圈内人才懂的“行话”,对外行来说,简直是天书。我对那些冗长而重复的论证感到厌倦,仿佛作者在刻意拖延时间,而不是真诚地与读者进行知识的传递。如果这是一部严肃的作品,它在清晰度和实用性上都表现得极为失败,与其说是引导思考,不如说是阻碍理解。我最终只能放弃深究那些晦涩的细节,转而关注那些偶尔闪现的、真正有价值的零星观点,但即使是这些亮点,也被大量的噪音所淹没。
评分对于那些对某一特定领域有深入背景知识的专业人士来说,这本书或许能提供一些有趣的视角。但对于广大的普通读者,或者希望通过阅读获得实用技能的人而言,这本书的价值几乎可以忽略不计。它散发着一种强烈的“精英主义”气息,仿佛在告诉读者:“如果你不能完全理解我,那是因为你不够格。”书中使用的案例研究往往脱离实际,充满了理想化的假设,与我们日常工作中遇到的复杂和混乱的真实情况相去甚远。我尝试将书中的理论模型应用到我正在处理的实际问题上,结果发现,这些模型在遇到现实世界的变量和约束时,瞬间土崩瓦解。与其说这是一本指导实践的书,不如说它是一场关于“完美世界”的理论推演。它提供的情感共鸣很弱,知识的转化效率极低,读完后留下的只是一个漂亮的、但完全无法使用的理论框架。
评分拿到这本书的时候,我原本期待的是一场酣畅淋漓的思维洗礼,一套能颠覆我固有认知的全新工具箱。然而,实际体验却像是在品尝一碟精心摆盘,但味道寡淡至极的分子料理。它的篇幅极其可观,但内容密度却低得惊人。作者似乎将大量的篇幅用于描绘情境和铺垫气氛,而非直接深入核心论点。那些宏大的叙事背景,虽然在文学性上或许值得称赞,但对于我这种追求干货的读者来说,无疑是一种时间的浪费。我经常发现自己需要频繁地在章节之间来回翻阅,试图重构作者跳跃性的逻辑链条,这极大地破坏了阅读的流畅感和沉浸感。更让我感到不解的是,书中似乎刻意回避了对关键挑战的直接回应,而是选择了一种迂回的、充满了哲学思辨的表达方式,这让那些渴望得到明确指导的读者感到无所适从。整本书读下来,我更多感受到的是一种优雅的“无所事事”,而非知识的积累。
