The first two issues of this offshoot of the Performing Arts Journal (the title changed to Performance Art LIVE with issue #3), published “with the intention of offering the broadest possible coverage of ‘performance art’ which we recognize as an art world, as distinct from a theatre world, phenomenon.”

Includes articles on Robert Wilson’s “Death Destruction & Detroit” in Berlin; Richard Foreman; interviews with Carolee Schneemann (8pp.), Ralston Farina, Laurie Anderson, and Rachel Rosenthal; Ken Friedman on Fluxus (5pp.); “New Music, New York” by Bérénice Reynaud (David Behrman, David Van Tiegham, Pauline Oliveros, Peter Gordon); reviews (Winston Tong; Joan Jonas; Laurie Anderson); and more.
