- The monograph Unlimited Action: The Performance of Extremity in the 1970s studies six otherwise underexamined artists or groups to provide a counter-history of art and aesthetics in the 1970s. Its emphasis on extremity required complex interdisciplinary research on performance art in relation to indecency and pornography, theft and vandalism, iconoclasm, and industrial sabotage. It involved extensive funded research using hard-to-find primary resources in institutional archives in London, Leeds, Bristol, New York, and Los Angeles; and relied on oral histories in the form of the author?s in-depth interviews with five artists, supported by studio visits and research in artists? personal archives.?
