'Among the other contributions are six or so outstanding essays.
Best of these have to be Gavin Butt's piece on Larry Rivers'
enactment of camp sensibility and Phelan's unveiling of Warhol's
accumulated American deaths. Butt and Phelan go a long way to
indicating what a genuinely new art history might feel like,
performing their subject from the inside in a generous
identification that nevertheless resists predictable positions.' -
Mark Harris, Art Monthly
'I found ... the articles included in Performing the
Body/Performing theText compelling.' - Jennie Klein, A Journal of
Performance and Art
