| book description |

â€œI WORK BETWEEN THE CRACKS, WHERE THE VOICE STARTS DANCINGâ€ To say that Meredith Monk is an outstanding singer, com poser, choreographer and filmmaker says a lot and yet too little. Monk works seamlessly across disciplinesâ€”pushing the boundaries of music, theater, dance, video, and installation, and is considered a pioneer of site-specific perfor mance. At the center of her oeuvre is the suggestive power of the human voice: the body becomes a resonating space for a universal language for which there are no words. Monk was the first artist to create a performance for the rotunda of the Guggenheim Museum, she performed in public car parks and on opera stages. This catalogue presents the first career encompassing, in-depth analysis of her work. Featuring never-before-pub lished archival material, musical notations, drawings, and photographs, as well as an insightful conversation with the artist, the essays underscore Monkâ€™s lasting influence and affirm the relevance of her work for the present.
