Focusing on one place and time--New York City, 1964--Piekut examines five disparate events: the New York Philharmonic's disastrous performance of John Cage's \u003ci\u003eAtlas Eclipticalis\u003c\/i\u003e; Henry Flynt's demonstrations against the downtown avant-garde; Charlotte Moorman's Avant Garde Festival; the founding of the Jazz Composers Guild; and the emergence of Iggy Pop. Drawing together a colorful array of personalities, Piekut argues that each of these examples points to a failure and marks a limit or boundary of canonical experimentalism. What emerges from these marginal moments is an accurate picture of the avant-garde, not as a style or genre, but as a network defined by disagreements, struggles, and exclusions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47602402099351,"sku":"9780520268500","price":5288.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780520268500.webp?v=1775011220","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/experimentalism-otherwise-the-new-york-avant-garde-and-its-limits-volume-11-9780520268500","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
