This catalogue accompanies a precedent-setting exhibition of 43 artists' work - including Laurie Andersen, John Baldessari, Robert Cumming, Vernon Fisher, Duane Michals, and William Wiley - who have been leading a new 1970s interest in including explicit narrative structures in their work. Combining text, video, film, or sound with more traditional media such as painting and sculpture, these artists communicate ideas and express personal issues through verbal and visual story telling. Includes essays by Mark Freidus, Paul Schimmel and Alan Sondheim; documentation on the artists’ careers; and a floppy audio record with sound work by Terry Allen, Laurie Anderson, Eleanor Antin, Ed McGowin, and Dennis Oppenheim.
