Summary
"Arte [is not equal to] Vida: Actions by Artists of the Americas, 1960-2000 explores performative art actions created by over 300 artists and collaborative groups from throughout the Americas - including Latinos in the United States, as well as artists working in Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Mexico, and Central and South America. Overviews of 11 regions provide in-depth contextual examinations, while a chronological timeline presents, for the first time, a year-by-year compilation of key events. Along with an artists index and an extensive bibliography, this bilingual publication opens the door to a significant and dynamic, yet often overlooked, strand of production."--BOOK JACKET.
