...in the context of Bark's performance-based pieces such as Self-Portrait in 14 Booths (April 12, 1969), Lights: On/Off (1974), and Neutron Readings (1975), the booth, with its curtain and public/private implications, could be interpreted as a sort of theater and the goings-on within as a sort of performance.  During a radically pluralistic 1970s, when the gallery and museum as hegemonic spaces were being challenged and the body itself was rapidly rising as a site and medium, booth and Bark's body within can easily be read alongside works such as Vito Acconci's Seedbed (1972), Robert Smithson's Yucatan Mirror Displacements (1969), Ana Mendieta's Silueta series (begun in 1974), and in the wider framework provided by Allan Kaprow and his Happenings beginning in the early 1960s.  Against the background of Civil Rights, civil disobedience, Vietnam, gay rights, and women's liberation, the body (and performance) emerged as both the site of real struggle and as a leitmotif of the avant-garde. 

Jared Bark: Photobooth Works and Performance Videos, 1969-1976 is published on the occasion of Bark's Fall 2015 exhibition by the same name at Southfirst gallery (Brooklyn, New York) and Sarah Lawrence College (Bronxville, NY). The pamphlet consists of four previously unpublished texts: two descriptions of Bark's performance work (LIGHTS: on/off, 1975, at the Idea Warehouse, NY, and Zero-G, 1976, at the Whitney Museum of American Art) by theater historian Stefan Brecht, a letter by Jared Bark to the documenta 6 performance curator Joachim Diedrichs, and an essay by exhibition curator Maika Pollack. The publication's texts connect the legacy of serial photography with downtown performance and dance in New York during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
