Antonio Manuel: I Want to Act, Not Represent

Antonio Manuel: I Want to Act, Not Represent
- Used Book in Good Condition
Antonio Manuel (born 1947) helped define the groundbreaking neo-avant-garde movement that emerged in Rio de Janeiro in the 1960s. Making his mark in 1970 at the height of Brazilâ€™s military dictatorship with â€œThe Body is the Workâ€ (in which he submitted his naked body to the Museu de Arte Moderna), Manuelâ€™s conceptual and performance work and manipulation of mass-media materials would expand the possibilities of experimental art as a means to political subversion and liberation. Assembled with the direct collaboration of the artist himself, Antonio Manuel: I Want to Act, Not Represent! is the first U.S. publication devoted to his work, and includes a range of never before seen images and documents, a substantive interview, and a facsimile reproduction of Phallic Weapon, a photo-novel starring HÃ©lio Oiticica, which has never been published outside of Brazil.
