Description: An epistolary history of the international avant-garde of happenings, Fluxus, and performance and conceptual art emerges from decades of correspondence between Carolee Schneemann and other artists and intellectuals.
Review Quotes: "Not only a revelatory stroll in Carolee Schneemann's teeming archive, Correspondence Course demonstrates that letters, no less than canvases or installations, are works of art. An exquisitely dense meditation on address, Schneemann's revelatory letters and Kristine Stiles's deft critical framing perform a radical reconception of art history itself. At once deeply personal and profoundly philosophical, Correspondence Course illuminates and complicates pretty much every notion I have had about the past fifty years of avant-garde art. A brilliant, breathtaking, stunning book."--Peggy Phelan, Stanford University
