Spectacle

A visual essay on the art, evolution, and impact of public performance, from the theatre to the streets Documents a wide range of international spectacles ranging from the Olympics to the Burning Man festival in Nevada, the Running of the Bulls in Spain, Holi festival in India, and the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade in New York. Includes 20 interviews with influential cultural figures such as art critic Dave Hickey, film director John Waters, prizefighter Muhammad Ali, and theatre director Julie Taymor, and an essay by New York Times critic Herbert Muschamp. More than 250 dynamic, contemporary and archival photographs take the reader on a visual tour of far-flung and fleeting, beautiful and bizarre manmade events, revealing that contemporary life is increasingly dominated by the idea of spectacle. Includes historical sidebars and an illustrated list of 40 spectacular public events worldwide, from the Dakar Motor Rally to the New York City Marathon, with dates and little-known facts.
