Queer Communion featured in The New York Times Best Art Books of 2020
Queer Communion: Ron Athey, edited by Amelia Jones and Andy Campbell, has been selected by art critics of the New York Times as one of their favourite art books of 2020!
Queer Communion, an exploration of Athey’s career, refuses the linear narratives of art discourse and instead pays homage to the intensities of each mode of Athey’s performative practice and each community he engages. Emphasizing the ephemeral and largely uncollectible nature of his work, the book places Athey’s own writing at its centre, turning to memoir, memory recall and other modes of retrieval and narration to archive his performances.
