Meredith Monk - calling

To say that Meredith Monk is an outstanding singer, composer, choreographer and filmmaker says a lot and yet too little. Monk works seamlessly across disciplines - pushing the boundaries of music, theatre, dance, video, and installation, and is considered a pioneer of site-specific performance. At the centre of her oeuvre is the suggestive power of the human voice: the body becomes a resonating space for a universal language for which there are no words. Monk was the first artist to create a performance for the rotunda of the Guggenheim Museum, she performed in public car parks and on opera stages. This catalogue presents a career encompassing, in-depth analysis of her work.
