Publication directed by  Richard Martel

ART ACTION 1958-1998 covers four decades of Action Art practices,
beginning with a report of a meeting that looked at the period from
1958-1978, which took place in Qu=E9bec City in October of 1998. This
meeting brought together the historic protagonists of diverse forms of
Action Art: the Happening, Fluxus, ZAJ, Body Art, Action Poetry and
Actionism. Thus, in the first instance Art Action 1958-1998 offers a
broad range of discussion presented by the following artists and historic
proponents of the work: Eric Andersen, Julien Blaine, Jacques Donguy,
Charles Dreyfus, Esther Ferrer, Dick Higgins, Jean-Jacques Lebel, Pierre
Restany and Dani=E8le Roussel.

Following on from this, Action Art specialists from twenty-one different
geographic zones recount the period from 1978 to 1998. This is the first
time that this period and these territories have been brought together to
be considered in a single volume. The essential of the commentaries
published were initially presented in the same October 1998 meeting in
Qu=E9bec City. This inventory of Action Art worldwide is compiled by the
following specialists: Felipe EHRENBERG (Mexico), Anne MARSH (Australia),
Victor MU=D1OZ (Latin America), Seiji SHIMODA (Japan), Laszlo BEKE
(Hungary), Veronica DIESEN (Scandinavia), Lukasz GUZEK (Poland),
Elisabeth JAPPE (Germany, Austria, Holland). Bruce BARBER (Canada),
Alain-Martin RICHARD (Qu=E9bec), Martha WILSON (East-coast, United States),
Bartolome FERRANDO (Spain), Giovanni FONTANA (Italy), Simon HERBERT
(England), Arnaud LABELLE-ROJOUX (France), Slavka SVERAKOVA (Ireland),
Fernando AGUIAR (Portugal), Gustav UTO (Transylvania), Gabor Hushegyi
and Michael MURIN (Slovakia), Chumpon APISUK (Thailand), Balint SZOMBATHY
(former Yugoslavia).

Also included in this historic publication is documentation of the
actions presented during this international meeting in Qu=E9bec City, made
by performance artists, on the theme of the sixties (Larry MILLER), the
seventies (Charlemagne PALESTINE), the eighties (Istvan KANTOR Monty
CANTSIN AMEN) and the nineties (R=E9paration de po=E9sie).
	The introduction to the book is written by Richard MARTEL, who gives a
synthesis of =C0ction Art practice from Futurism to Situationism in a text
entitled =B2The Tissues of the Performative=B3!
	This abundantly illustrated publication is essential reading for the
understanding of the historical and international context of Action Art
phenomena of the second half of the Twentieth Century.
	It is the first publication for many years to ask the central questions
and to give such extensive information. This essential volume is
dedicated to Dick HIGGINS who passed away on the final day of this
historic meeting in Qu=E9bec City.
