Summary
"The first monographic publication on the art collective My Barbarian (Malik Gaines, Jade Gordon, and Alexandro Segade) offers new insights into the work of this group of performers. My Barbarian has used performance to theatricalize social issues, adapting narratives from modern plays, historical texts, and mass media; this volume accompanies a retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art celebrating the group's twentieth anniversary. An overview essay offers an introduction to the formal qualities of the group's work, while other contributions read their output through a lens of queer and other critical theory, and contextualize it within the twenty-first-century experimental performance scene. A visual chronology features texts on My Barbarian's past works written by the artists. Performances and video works are re-created using stills alongside photos, drawings, scripts, and personal materials drawn from the artists' archives"--
