Produktbeschreibung
This is a monographic book that celebrates the artist Laura Anderson Barbata’s alliance with traditional stilt dancers from the West Indies and Mexico, as well as her collaboration with artisans of Oaxaca, Mexico. Born in Mexico City, Barbata is a multidisciplinary artist who has worked primarily in the social realm. The book features her iconic work with stilt dancers, for whom she creates, in collaboration with community members and traditional artisans, costumes and wearable sculptures. The resulting works challenge the notions of collaborative community art, public art, performance, sculpture and tradition.
