Upon moving to New York City in 1962, he began making music with John Cale, La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela in the Theatre of Eternal Music, a group that helped shape what would come to be known as minimalist music. He later went on to perform with Lou Reed in a pre-Velvet Underground band called The Primitives and cut a classic 1972 record with the German Krautrock band Faust that set a new standard for drone music. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the 1960s and 1970s, Conrad was perhaps best known for his contribution to film, where he helped to redefine structural filmmaking with \u003ci\u003eThe Flicker\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eYellow Movies\u003c\/i\u003e. Conrad went on to create an extensive body of work in a variety of media such as installation, photography, and performance until his death in 2016. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThroughout his life, Conrad also wrote prolifically on topics including his own work (and that of his peers), music, art, media theory and activism. \u003ci\u003eWritings\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book devoted solely to Conrad's writing, collecting 57 hard-to-find or previously unpublished texts from 1961 to 2012. These writings provide a critical lens into the artist's multitudinous identities and wide-ranging creative pursuits and, as with his diverse artistic output, consistently challenge and dismantle authoritarian notions of culture.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 576\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.4 x 7.4 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 26, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52586140631333,"sku":"9780991558513","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/2487\/2485\/files\/9pCmP31qQS9780991558513.webp?v=1781606966","url":"https:\/\/c4lhome.com\/products\/tony-conrad-writings-paperback","provider":" Companion for Life Five Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
