Space and Time In the World of Robert Ashley

publication

Robert Ashey's body of work is unique in the art world. This essay from the Volume 1 Number 1 Spring 1985 Formations magazine analyzes the space and time in the world of Ashley's music and performance.

Brand: Writings

SKU: formations-document

Robert Ashey's body of work is unique in the art world. It is not wholly theatrical as in the poetic and evocative epic style of Robert Wilson, or in the sparse and rigorous monologue style of Spalding Grey, or in the abstract and rigidly formal theatrical style of Richard Foreman's Ontological-Hysteric Theatre. Nor is Ashley's work wholly musical as in the style of Gordon Mumma, Alvin Lucier, or other members of the Sonic Arts Union to which Ashley belonged in the late sixties and early seventies. It is not sublimely abstract as is the work of John Cage. Perhaps it is most appropriately compared with Performance Art which broke through traditional artistic boundaries bringing together composers, dancers, performers, filmmakers, visual artists, as well as architects, engineers, and technicians who were interested in process and spontaneity, in the conceptualization of the text as part of an event and activity oriented environment, and in the use of popular entertainment forms.
