ORLAN Summary

ORLAN: A Hybrid Body of Artworks by Simon Donger (Central School of Speech and Drama, London, UK)

ORLAN: A Hybrid Body of Artworks is an in-depth academic account of ORLAN's pioneering art in its entirety. The book covers her career in performance and a range of other art forms. This single accessible overview of ORLAN's practices describes and analyses her various innovative uses of the body as artistic material.

over fifty images demonstrating ORLAN's art, with thirty full colour pictures

a new bibliography of writing on ORLAN
an indexed listing of ORLANs artworks and key themes.

ORLAN Reviews

Rather than a single, overarching account of ORLANs oeuvre, what this book valuably provides is a range of texts exploring overlapping ideas, myriad mouthpieces returning to and unpacking certain qualities of ORLANs practice in distinctly different ways, suturing and dissecting these into fascinatingly autonomous analyses. For me, quite purposefully, the undisciplined collection of texts in this rigorous and exciting volume morphs in a multitude of ways, much like the artists own marvellously monstrous practice. Rachel Zerihan, Contemporary Theatre Review
