Merce Cunningham : Common Time

'Nearly as rich, complex and bewildering as Cunningham's dance' - New York Times

A handsome book exploring the work and influence of the postmodern dancer and choreographer, Merce Cunningham

The richly illustrated catalogue for the ambitious exhibition Merce Cunningham: Common Time at the Walker Art Center chronicles the achievements by this most important postmodern dancer and choreographer and his numerous collaborators. 

As immersive as the exhibition itself, the 456-page tome includes more than fifteen essay and interviews, texts by Cunningham, John Cage, and other dancers and artists, archival photographs, and an amazing chronology.

Recommended for anyone interested in interdisciplinary practices, artistic innovation, and the history of the avant-garde in the US.
