Laurie Anderson's integration of sound, video, performance, and installation has been fluid and complete enough to blur the distinctions between conceptual art and popular entertainment. This book documents a recent retrospective in Italy of her work from the early 1970s to the present day, and includes a wealth of photographs and critical text -- as well as an essay by Italian critic Germano Celant on Anderson's work. From her earliest projects, such as the Institutional Dream Series of 1973, in which she attempted to document her experiences sleeping in public places, to her ground-breaking operatic works of video and electronic music, this book reveals the variety and adaptability of Anderson's art.

This book is not the best book to start with, when it comes to learning about Laurie's Anderson's work.
It is vital for fans and art lovers & artists who wish to explore with Anderson the process of one of her most social direct works of art.
This is not about her music performances (although there are some fascinating examples and insights from these works as well), rather it is the documentation of a gallery exhibition she had made with a jail.
