Simone Forti, born in Florence in 1935, is an artist, choreographer, dancer and writer. The catalogue of this important contemporary of Cage, Cunningham or Rainer accompanies a retrospective at the Museum der Moderne Salzburg curated by Sabine Breitwieser.
The two-volume publication is the first major monograph of the works of this Los Angeles-based performance artist. Along with an interview held by Sabine Breitwieser with Simone Forti, it also features essays by Julia Bryan-Wilson, Fred Dewey, Meredith Morse, a conversation between Liz Kotz and Tashi Wada, and texts by the artists Robert Morris, Steve Paxton and Yvonne Rainer.
