Reihe: Rethinking Art's Histories

Horizontal together is an up-close look at the cultural and political power of the langourous queer body, combining historical research, queer theory and the analysis of bodily gestures. The book presents a dancerly story of 1960s art focusing on Andy Warhol, underground filmmaker Jack Smith and experimental dance star Fred Herko.
