{"product_id":"64948-meredith-monk-calling","title":"Meredith Monk. Calling","description":"To describe Meredith Monk as an outstanding singer, composer, choreographer, and director says much and yet too little. With her work, she has expanded the boundaries of music, theatre, dance, video, and installation and is considered a pioneer of site-specific performance. Central to her work is always the suggestive power of the human voice. The body becomes a resonance chamber for a universal language without words. Monk was the first artist to create a performance for the Guggenheim Museum's rotunda; she performed in public parking lots and grand opera houses. This catalogue offers the most comprehensive presentation to date, featuring works spanning six decades. Widely known in the music and theatre world, the exhibition will be the first in Europe to be dedicated to her work in an art context. With unpublished archival material, notations, drawings, photographs, and an interview with the artist, the publication underscores Monk's lasting significance for the present day. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMEREDITH MONK (b. 1942, New York City) began exploring the voice as an instrument in the early 1960s. She composed and performed numerous solo pieces for the voice. In 1968, she founded The House to promote interdisciplinary performance, and ten years later, the Meredith Monk \u0026amp; Vocal Ensemble. As a filmmaker, she has received numerous awards.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49794035450120,"sku":"9783775754811","price":58.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/Monk_cover.jpg?v=1728295139","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/64948-meredith-monk-calling","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
