An eclectic and wide-ranging critic, he wrote such important texts as the introduction to the groundbreaking exhibition \"Live in Your Head: When Attitudes Become Form\" and served as an editor for both ARTnews and Art in America. In these same years, Burton became known as a performance artist, developing themes he pursued in his writing. Yet, his role as an artist-critic has rarely been discussed. Scott Burton: Collected Writings on Art and Performance, 1965–1975 brings together for the first time Burton's essays and unpublished manuscripts from these years, tracing his work as an art critic as well as his early statements on performance. In his writing, Burton championed positions that others held as mutually exclusive and antagonistic. He advocated for reductive abstract art while defending figuration, and he argued for the urgency of time-based and ephemeral art practices in the same years that he curated exhibitions of realist painting. Distinct in these diverse texts are Burton's increasing concerns with art's appeal to affects, empathies, and subjective responses; the early formulation of his desire to make art public and demotic; and his critical grasp on the implications and exclusions of mainstream narratives of art. This collection offers rich new context for Burton's sculpture and public art and reveals him as an important voice in the rapidly changing art world of the 1960s and 1970s.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50145491812625,"sku":"CIN0982409044G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51010096136465,"sku":"NIN9780982409046","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52142340538641,"sku":"NLS9780982409046","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52754155634961,"sku":"GOR012192206","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0982409044.jpg?v=1751331846"},{"product_id":"chaos-book-scott-burton-9781967979004","title":"Chaos","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChaos: A Journal of Being Human\u003c\/strong\u003e is the first volume in a powerful series exploring the raw, everyday emotional experiences that shape our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a self-help book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e It's a quiet reflection on what it means to feel deeply, live honestly, and carry the unspoken weight of being human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEach entry reads like a moment of clarity-brief, vulnerable, and universally relatable.\u003c\/strong\u003e Whether you're processing grief, rediscovering your worth, or simply searching for meaning in the ordinary, these pieces will meet you right where you are.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for fans of introspective journaling, free-verse reflection, and emotionally honest writing\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eA Journal of Being Human\u003c\/em\u003e doesn't promise answers.
