Minimal Politics: Performativity and Minimalism in Recent American Art (Issues in Cultural Theory)

This book traces the evolution of the style and thinking of Hans Haacke, Mary Kelly, Robert Morris, Adrian Piper and Yvonne Rainer--five artists who explore the complex relationship between form, theatricality and ideology. Minimal Politics demonstrates how their work evolved from a more minimal, formal aesthetic in the 1960s to a more overtly ideological perspective.
