An unprecedented glimpse into the working methods and the complicated legacy of an important twentieth-century artist Over the course of his more than three-decade career, Scott Burton (1939–1989) made groundbreaking contributions to sculpture, performance, public art, queer art, and criticism. Responding to what he identified as a gap between art and its potential audiences, Burton became a tireless advocate for accessible and popular artworks that everyday people could use and enjoy. In keeping with this principle, he also designed performances and "sculpture furniture" to explore and orchestrate social dynamics; he was particularly interested in intimacy, distance, collectivity, and isolation. Scott Burton: Shape Shift provides a comprehensive overview of the artist's biography and career with texts focusing on his public artworks, performance, and innovative use of materials. Featuring more than forty full-page images of Burton's sculpture, which is rarely published, the book also includes numerous never-before-seen images of notes, photographs, and drawings from the artist's extensive personal archive, housed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Scores and photographic documentation of newly commissioned performances on the occasion of the accompanying exhibition are also included.

Hardcover. Etat : VG+. Quarto. Hardcover. Matte illustrated boards. No jacket, as issued. 143 pages : illustrations (chiefly color), portraits, fold-out color map ; 30 cm. This exhibition catalogue examines the legacy of Scott Burton (1939-1989), an American original whose wide-ranging practice anticipated many of the strategies of today's art. It is the most comprehensive exhibition of Burton's work ever mounted in the United States. Featuring works from the 1960s to 80s, the exhibition underscores the breadth of the artist's vision. By the time of his death at the age of 50 from an AIDS-related illness, Burton had functioned as sculptor, public artist, performance artist, choreographer, art critic, and exhibition curator. The survey spans Burton's career, featuring nearly 40 sculptures, more than 70 photographs and ephemera, and the only known extant video of the artist's performance work. This catalogue is expected to serve as an essential source for scholars, artists, and others interested in the intentions and legacy of Scott Burton. The volume features full-page images of artwork, installation photography, and essays by David J. Getsy and Jess Wilcox; writings by the artists Brendan Fernandes, Gordon Hall, and curatorial collective Darling Green; contributions by Jeremy Johnston and Heather Alexis Smith; and a never-before-published excerpt from the transcript of a 1988 lecture by Burton.
