It began with artists in New York City and extended to Europe. 26 artists in five countries were recorded and, by 1989, over 150 artists' tapes were screened at Anthology Film Archives." - acknowledgements "The entire project is more than a cookbook, it is a social record of a vital community at a crucial time and place in our cultural history." - Introduction
