Pleading in the Blood: The Art and Performances of Ron Athey (paperback edition) edited by Dominic Johnson explores the life and work of Ron Athey, an iconic figure in contemporary art and performance. In his frequently bloody portrayals of life, death, crisis, and fortitude in the time of AIDS, Athey calls into question the limits of artistic practice. These limits enable Athey to explore key themes including gender, sexuality, radical sex, queer activism, postpunk and industrial culture, tattooing and body modification, ritual, and religion.
Pleading in the Blood includes three newly commissioned essays on different aspects of Athey’s work and a selection of shorter texts from invited artists and scholars. The book also includes Athey’s own writings, including new pieces and hard-to-find archival texts.
