Live Art in LAexplores the histories and legacies of performance art in Southern California in the 1970s and early 80s. Peggy Phelan documents and critically examines one of the most productive periods in the history of live art, using archival documents, historical resources and nearly 100 photographs. The book is built around five key contributions: 'Violence and Rupture: Performance in Pacific Standard Time' - Peggy Phelan 'Lost Bodies: Early 1970s Los Angeles Performance Art in Art History' - Amelia Jones Interviews with over 50 artists, by Suzanne Lacy and Jennifer Flores Sternad 'Drawing LA with Suzanne Lacy: Trailing Multicentrically' - Meiling Cheng 'Do Over: Performance and its Recurrency' - Michael Ned Holte These essays and interviews underpin a major re-evaluation of the history of performance studies, by one of the original pioneers of the field.
