Reviews

'Beyond the Happening is an insightful and enjoyable contribution to the study of art and communication with a fresh international approach. The book’s outstanding illustrations make it a valuable archive piece for thought-provoking yet often overlooked artwork.' Micaela G. Signorelli, Contemporary Theatre Review 'Beyond the Happening argues crucially and compellingly for an expansive critical understanding of Happenings, productively challenging the geographical and disciplinary boundaries of established art histories and deftly drawing out the vital political valency of Happenings via their urgent critical engagement with sociological, pedagogical, and communications networks.' Lucy Bradnock, Reader in Modern and Contemporary Art and Dean for Research at The Courtauld Institute of Art, London -- .
