In this first-hand account, the author, closely associated with the radical and transforming movement from its earliest days, records and traces Dada's history from its inception around 1916, in wartime Zurich, to its collapse in the Paris of the 1920s.

Shows how, with the eclipse of abstract expressionism, art has deviated irrevocably from the narrative course that Vasari helped define for it in the Renaissance. This book shows that it wasn't until the invention of Pop art that the historical understanding of the means and ends of art was nullified.

This updated edition is supplemented by a definitive account of the current technological, political and aesthetic shifts in performance art that mark its transition to the 21st century. New artists are shown in the context of previous innovators, from the Dadaists to Laurie Anderson.

This text is an interdisciplinary history and theory of sound in the arts, that reads the 20th century by listening to it - to the emphatic and exceptional sounds of modernism and those on the cusp of postmodernism. It explores aural activities in literature, music, visual arts, theatre and film.
