EN MAS' : Carnival and Performance Art of the Caribbean, Hardback Book

EN MAS' : Carnival and Performance Art of the Caribbean Hardback

Edited by Claire Tancons, Krista Thompson

Hardback

Description

EN MAS' is one of the first publications to give serious scholarly attention to contemporary art works considering carnival in the 21st century, filling a gap in two decades of exhibitions of contemporary Caribbean art that did not explicitly address carnival as an artistic practice.

A hybrid exhibition catalogue and academic reader with a lively carnivalesque feel, it presents nine newly commissioned artist projects by John Beadle, Charles Campbell, Christophe Chassol, Nicolas Dumit Estevez, Marlon Griffith, Hew Locke, Ebony G.

Patterson, Lorraine O'Grady and Cauleen Smith. The book also includes a timeline of diasporic pan-Caribbean carnivals, tracing the influence of Caribbean carnivals and festivals on the theater, dance, and Broadway stages in New York and London, in contemporary art galleries and biennials from Sao Paulo to Havana to Gwangju, at the Olympics as well as in protest and other movements.
