(aka Colab), the highly energetic gathering of young downtown New York City artists active from the late 1970s through the mid-1980s. Edited by Max Schumann, the full-colour publication presents a detailed view of Colab – both through the work created and in the artists’ own voices – and represents the fullest account of Colab’s output to date. Artists include Jimmy DeSana, Jenny Holzer, Judy Rifka, Kiki Smith, and many more.Advocating a form of cultural activism that was purely artist-driven, the group created artworks, curated shows and engaged in discourse that responded to the political themes and predicaments of its time. With extensive documentation of the printed material and media steadily produced in the course of its collaborative undertakings, as well as many firsthand accounts, the book displays the diverse aesthetics and concerns of the group as it embarked on various projects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9780894390852.
