Author: Friederike Schäfer
This is the first book on the boundary-pushing practice of the artist, dancer, and educator Suzanne Harris. Harris was a protagonist in key avant-garde projects of the downtown New York City artists’ community in the 1970s (the Anarchitecture group, 112 Greene Street, FOOD, The Natural History of the American Dancer, Heresies), and her post-minimalist work broke the mould of art categories, (feminist) art practices, art spaces, and the common notion of space.By transcending sculpture and dance, Harris created ephemeral, site-specific installations, which she conceived as body-oriented choreographic situations. Her approach of sensory awareness led to a holistic philosophy of space, which again is paradigmatic for a materialist approach to (social) space that emerged in the arts at the time.
