Queer Behavior

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the innovative work of Scott Burton, this book delves into his performance art and sculptures that reflect queer experiences and the vibrant sexual cultures of 1970s New York City. David J. Getsy highlights Burton's focus on nonverbal communication and public behaviors, particularly street cruising, as a means to redefine art's audience and impact. Through extensive research, Getsy reveals how Burton's art engaged with themes of power, identity, and functionality, positioning him as a pivotal figure in queer art history post-Stonewall.
