Covering performance art since is nasence at the East Village's Pyramid Club, the WOW Café, 8BC, and other clubs in the early eighties McAdams became the in-house photo archivist at the infamous performance space, P.S. 122, the home of cutting-edge theater that eschews convention as it draws energy and inspiration from all media. At P.S. 122 and other alternative performance spaces such as The Kitchen and Dance Theater Workshop, McAdams developed her long-term relationships with many performers.
C. Carr is a Village Voice writer and a long-recognized cultural critic of the New York underground arts movement; in her personal and insightful introduction to Caught in the Act, she writes, "The key to McAdams's work is the relationship she has with the artists. She empathizes. They trust." It is this collaborative approach that has allowed McAdams to faithfully represent the rage, courage, integrity, and creative force of such varied artists as Diamand Galás, Holly Hughes, Ishmael Houston-Jones, John Kelly, DANCENOISE, Ethyl Eichelberger, and David Wojnarowicz--and this is only a small sampling of the performers featured here.
Caught in the Act celebrates the spirit that links all artists across their different disciplines and aesthetics. The wonderful coexistence of disparate sensibilities in this publication underscores the very nature of this hybrid art. At the same time, it features many artists who, while focusing primarily on a particular medium, have expanded the context for that medium and pioneered the boundlessness, the marvelous sense of possibility that so distinguishes this contemporary manifestation of performance.
This sleek book of black-and-white photographs printed in duotone includes contributions of words, drawings, and scores from some of the pictured performers, including many of those listed above, as well as Penny Arcade, John Bernd, Eric Bogosian, Allen Ginsberg, Philip Glass, Meredith Monk, Tim Miller, and many others.
A performance poet in the beat tradition who has been reading and performing since the early seventies, Eileen Myles also contributes a moving Afterword with her poem, "the Troubador." Taken altogether Caught in the Act is as much of the artists as it is about them. This Aperture publication is an entirely original and broad collection of work by some of the most gifted artists of our time.

Acerca del autor
C. Carr began covering the performance front for the Village Voice in 1984. Many of the artists she felt compelled to cover in the eighties were targeted by the religious right in the nineties. Her pieces on Karen Finley, Holly Hughes, Annie Sprinkle, David Wojnarowicz and many others have been collected in On Edge: Performance at the End of the Twentieth Century (Wesleyan Universty Press/University Press of New England). Her new book, Klan and Tribe, investigates the impact of a lynching on an Indiana town and will be published by Crown in 1997.
Eileen Myles has been reading and performing her work in New York City since 1974. Her latest book is Maxfield Parrish/early & new poems (Black Sparrow). Chelsea Girls (Black Sparrow) was her first full length collection of "fiction." She coedited (with Liz Kotz) The New Fuck You/adventures in lesbian reading for Semiotext(e). Currently, she is writing a trilogy of novels, the first volume of which is called Cool For You.
