Published in 1988 by the Newport Harbour Art Museum to accompany Burden's touring exhibition, this catalogue is the essential document of an artist who treated his own body like a material to be tested. Chris Burden made his name in the 1970s with performances that were less "conceptual art" than genuine acts of nerve: getting shot in the arm for Shoot, locking himself in a school locker for five days, crawling across broken glass. Great book.
