Summary
"Tim Clark. Reading the Limits documents the photographic and performance/installation work of this artist. Clark's singular performance-based practice is significant for its engagement with the limits of art, its ritualized violence enacted through intense readings of philosophical and ethical texts, and for a series of table works that served as the site for the redeployment of performance practice in relation to the book, reading and the philosophical subject. Reading the Limits raises questions about the late twentieth-century development of conceptual art as well as performance art's status as a form of knowledge in relation to the university and its book-based culture. Essays by Eduardo Ralickas and David Tomas examine Clark's work in terms of its philosophical engagement and the question of limits in art in the late 1970S and today."--Jacket.
