Community; Equality and FreedomBy CustomerIn Sally Banes historical look at the art scene in Greenwich Village in 1963 and 1964; one gets a dense book of information that covers the kind of art made; the creative processes involved; and the key players within this New York season of art. She chooses to look at dance (Judson Church); underground film; the Fluxus movement; Pop Art; and theater (Living Theater; Open Theater; LaMama; Cafe Chino). This all inclusiveness is beneficial in her points on this eras sense of community; equality; and freedom of expression.Overall; I enjoyed this book. I believe that it is chock full of historical knowledge that will benefit artists and art lovers alike. I do however wish that I could make my parents read it. That could be considered one downfall of this publication. It is interesting for me to read; as a choreographer; but it is lacking a sense of awareness for the non-artist. I also felt that Banes has an annoying writing trait of repeating herself.I would recommend reading this book. It is a good introduction to the people and the era of the early sixties. The most interesting chapters were when Banes chose to contextualize and involve social and political facts/theories with what the artists motivations were. I particularly enjoyed the section covering LeRoi Jones (Baraka) and his plays.It is interesting because we are still in the thick of post-modern art. Even though this book is a historical look back at New Yorks downtown; it points out common themes that are in the art world today. For example; feminist pedagogy; taking art from everyday life; community through art; and political art are concepts embraced by dancers; painters; actors; and independent film makers across America.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. 63 please oh please come backBy tyron crawleeethe coming together of once repressed forces-cagean chance; dada nihilism; artaudian viscerality surfacing as -performance/dance/music/writing/film fused alogically-much like the experiments at black mountain- 1963 may very well have been the culmination and dissolution ? of significant art in NYC. this is a well researched; symapathetic account of that period.
