  abstract: This exhibition catalogue examines the legacy of Scott Burton (1939-1989), an American original whose wide-ranging practice anticipated many of the strategies of today's art. It is the most comprehensive exhibition of Burton's work ever mounted in the United States. Featuring works from the 1960s to 80s, the exhibition underscores the breadth of the artist's vision. By the time of his death at the age of 50 from an AIDS-related illness, Burton had functioned as sculptor, public artist, performance artist, choreographer, art critic, and exhibition curator. The survey spans Burton's career, featuring nearly 40 sculptures, more than 70 photographs and ephemera, and the only known extant video of the artist's performance work. This catalogue is expected to serve as an essential source for scholars, artists, and others interested in the intentions and legacy of Scott Burton. The volume features full-page images of artwork, installation photography, and essays by David J. Getsy and Jess Wilcox; writings by the artists Brendan Fernandes, Gordon Hall, and curatorial collective Darling Green; contributions by Jeremy Johnston and Heather Alexis Smith; and a never-before-published excerpt from the transcript of a 1988 lecture by Burton.
  note: edited by Jess Wilcox and Heather Alexis Smith ; with essays and contributions by David J. Getsy [and six others].
