| book description |

OC We got to talkingOCOOCoso David Antin begins the introduction to Radical Coherency, embarking on the pursuit that has marked much of his breathless, brilliantly conversational work. For the past forty years, whether spoken under the guise of performance artist or poet, cultural explorer or literary critic, AntinOCOs innovative observations have helped us to better understand everything from Pop to Postmodernism.a Intimately wedded to the worlds of conceptual art and poetics, Radical Coherency collects AntinOCOs influential critical essays and spontaneous, performed lectures (or OC talk piecesOCO) for the very first time, capturing one of the most distinctive perspectives in contemporary literature. The essays presented here range from the first serious assessment of Andy Warhol published in a major art journal, as well as AntinOCOs provocative take on Clement GreenbergOCOs theory of Modernism, to frontline interventions in present debates on poetics and fugitive pieces from the OCO60s and OCO70s that still sparkle todayOCoand represent a gold mine for art historians of the period. From John Cage to Allan Kaprow, Mark Rothko to Ludwig Wittgenstein, Antin takes the reader on an idiosyncratic, personal journey through twentieth-century culture with his trademark antiformalist panacheOCoone that will be welcomed by any fan of this consummate trailblazer.a
