Chronicles the seminal years of an innovative summer residency program during which a diverse group of artists created temporary public artworks in Lewiston, New York, against the dramatic vistas of the Niagara Gorge. Founded during a transitional period in contemporary art when many artists left their studios for alternative art spaces, Artpark successfully balanced a populist mission with the commissioning of some of the most compelling art of its day. The first time in print, Artpark features color documentation of these site-specific and performance artworks both in the process of being created and the act of being experienced. Features work by Vito Acconci, Laurie Anderson, Chris Burden, Allan Kaprow, Matta-Clark, Martin Puryear and others.
