Harris was a protagonist in key avant-garde projects\u003cbr\u003e of the downtown New York City artists' community in the 1970s (the \u003cbr\u003eAnarchitecture group, 112 Greene Street, FOOD, The Natural History of \u003cbr\u003ethe American Dancer, \u003cem\u003eHeresies\u003c\/em\u003e); yet her own oeuvre fell into abeyance. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHarris'\u003cbr\u003e postminimalist work broke the mold of art categories, (feminist) art \u003cbr\u003epractices, art spaces, and the common notion of space. By transcending \u003cbr\u003esculpture and dance, she created ephemeral, site-specific installations, \u003cbr\u003e which she conceived as body-oriented choreographic situations. Her \u003cbr\u003eapproach of sensory awareness led to a holistic philosophy of space, \u003cbr\u003ewhich again is paradigmatic for a materialist approach to (social) space\u003cbr\u003e that emerged in the arts at the time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRediscovery of a forgotten female artist \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew insights into the New York art scene \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecipient of the Terra Foundation for American Art International Publication \u003cem\u003eGrant\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFriederike Schäfer, \u003c\/strong\u003e art historian, Freie Universität Berlin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9.4 x 6.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 14, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47459124543666,"sku":"9783110738681","price":95.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/87f0d1490ae6df04e3a520d504e229d8.webp?v=1778898890","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/an-anarchitectural-body-of-work-suzanne-harris-and-the-downtown-new-york-artists-community-in-the-1970s-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
