An examination of an experiential and experimental art form that despite its evanescence has shaped participatory art into the presentHappenings have pop connotations that conjure up 1960s youth culture and hippies in public joyful rebellion Scholars meanwhile locate happenings in a genealogy of avantgarde performance that descends from futurism surrealism and Dada through the action painting of the 1950s In Radical Prototypes Judith Rodenbeck argues for a more complex etiology Allan Kaprow coined the term in 1958 to name a new collage form of performance calling happenings radical prototypes of performance art Rodenbeck offers a rigorous art historical reading of Kaprows project and related artworks She finds that these experiential and experimental works offered not a happy communalism but a strong and canny critique of contemporary sociality Happenings she argues were far more ambivalent negative and even creepy than they have been portrayed either in contemporaneous accounts or in more recent efforts to connect them to contemporary arts participatory strategiesIn Radical Prototypes Rodenbeck recovers the critical force of happenings addressing them both as theoretical objects and as artworks investigating broader epistemological and formal concerns as well as their material and performative aspects She links happenings to scores by John Cage especially 433 avantgarde theater and photography and offers new readings of projects ranging from Kaprows 18 Happenings in 6 Parts 1959 to Gerhard Richters Leben mit Pop 1963Rodenbeck casts happenings as a form of participatory art that simultaneously delivers a radical critique of that very participationa view that revises our understanding of contemporary constructions of the participatory as well as of 1960s projects from Fluxus to conceptual art

The present volume is a simple record of the pioneer work done in such departments up to date by Mr Nikola Tesla in whom the world has already recognized one of the foremost of modern electrical investigators and inventors No attempt whatever has been made here to emphasize the importance of his researches and discoveries Great ideas and real inventions win their own way determining their own place by intrinsic merit But with the conviction that Mr Tesla is blazing a patli that electrical development must follow for many years to come the compiler has endeavored to bring together all that bears the impress of Mr Teslas genius and is worthy of preservation Aside from its value as showing the scope of his inventions this volume may be of service as indicating the range of his thought There is intellectual profit in studying the push and play of a vigorous and original mind Although the lively interest of the public in Mr Teslas work is perhaps of recent growth this volume covers the results of full ten years It includes his lectures miscellaneous articles and discussions and makes note of all his inventions thus far known particularly those bearing on polyphase motors and the effects obtained with currents of high potential and high frequency It will be seen that Mr Tesla has ever pressed forward barely pausing for an instant to work out in detail the utilizations that have at once been obvious to him of the new principles he has elucidated Wherever possible his own language has been employed It may be added that this volume is issued with Mr Teslas sanction and approval and that permission has been obtained for the republication in it of such papers as have been read before various technical societies of this country and Europe Mr Tesla has kindly favored the author by looking over the proof sheets of the sections embodying his latest researches

This book traces an important strand in the intellectual history of the West from the Renaissance to the present During this period consciousness of the remains of the past particularly the monuments of classical antiquity and in the nineteenth century impressive Romanesque and Gothic structures grew exponentially Architects such as Ruskin ViolletleDuc Riegl and Boito developed and implemented theories as to how these types of monuments could be maintained for posterity Analyzing the phenomenon of the historic monument from the fifteenth through the twentieth centuries Françoise Choay exposes its ambivalent character as a symbol of a capitalist economy as a symptom of deep social malaise and even as a touchstone for the rediscovery of humanistic values whose relevance for contemporary society can no longer be taken for granted Originally published in the French this book was awarded the Grand Prix National du Patrimoine by the French government in 1995
