When Jim Holl moved to New York's SoHo district in the mid-1970s, he found himself in the epicentre of the city's booming art scene. Immersing himself in all the city had to offer, Holl began an artistic dialogue with numerous art forms - including conceptual art, anti-art, performance art, installation art, pop art, relational aesthetics, painting, and sculpture - that would continue throughout his entire career.
His first studio was in SoHo and he exhibited and had a studio at P.S.1 before its annexation by the Museum of Modern Art. He also exhibited at The New Museum soon after it was founded and served on the museum's artists' advisory board. He has shown at important alternative spaces such as Artists Space and 55 Mercer. Holl participated in the seminal 1980 Times Square Show and Creative Time's Art on the
Beach. When the art scene moved to the Lower East Side in the 1980s, Holl exhibited and performed in many venues. Against the backdrop of two decades of art events and theories, this book reflects on his artistic journey to understand the dichotomy between thinking and feeling, art and life, artifice and authenticity.
