Focusing on one place and time-New York City, 1964-Piekut examines five disparate events: the New York Philharmonics disastrous performance of John Cages Atlas Eclipticalis; Henry Flynts demonstrations against the downtown avant-garde; Charlotte Moormans Avant Garde Festival; the founding of the Jazz Composers Guild; and the emergence of Iggy Pop. Drawing together a colorful array of personalities, Piekut argues that each of these examples points to a failure and marks a limit or boundary of canonical experimentalism. What emerges from these marginal moments is an accurate picture of the avant-garde, not as a style or genre, but as a network defined by disagreements, struggles, and exclusions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51939091743008,"sku":"NEW0520268504","price":80.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/experimentalism-otherwise-the-new-york-avant-garde-and-its-limits-volume-11-0520268504","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
