“I WORK BETWEEN THE CRACKS, WHERE THE VOICE STARTS DANCING” To say that Meredith Monk is an outstanding singer, com poser, choreographer and filmmaker says a lot and yet too little. Monk works seamlessly across disciplines—pushing the boundaries of music, theater, dance, video, and installation, and is considered a pioneer of site-specific perfor mance. At the center of her oeuvre is the suggestive power of the human voice: the body becomes a resonating space for a universal language for which there are no words. Monk was the first artist to create a performance for the rotunda of the Guggenheim Museum, she performed in public car parks and on opera stages. This catalogue presents the first career encompassing, in-depth analysis of her work. Featuring never-before-pub lished archival material, musical notations, drawings, and photographs, as well as an insightful conversation with the artist, the essays underscore Monk’s lasting influence and affirm the relevance of her work for the present.
