Performing Arts Drama Plays

In the 1960s, a group of artists in New York began developing new forms of art that extended beyond the object.The processual, time-based practices of artists such as Robert Morris, Trisha Brown, Simone Forti, Richard Serra, Sol LeWitt, Lucinda Childs and Yvonne Rainer embraced and transformed mediums such as dance, music and film.Published for an exhibition celebrating the 40th anniversary of Paris's Centre Pompidou at the Carre d'Art in Nimes, A Different Way to Move places their works in dialogue with minimalism. It also includes works by Carl Andre, Vito Acconci, Dan Flavin and Bruce Nauman, plus a collection of essays that expand and interrogate canonical accounts of minimalism, as well as original texts by the artists about this new awakening in art.
