Conceived as an installation in six consecutive sections, Mary Kelly's Post-Partum Document has been widely exhibited and intensely debated since its first scandalous appearance in the 1970s. Now, more than twenty years later, the Document's initial challenge to conceptual art and its impact on the emerging discourse of sexual difference have taken on a new significance. For many younger artists and critics, the republication of Kelly's artwork in book form will provide the opportunity to engage directly with the visual and intertextual strategies that spawned a generation of "thinking bad girls."

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Central for its theoretical breadth, textual complexity and thoroughness of analysis is Mary Kelly's Post-Partum Document (1973-79). . . . Implicit in Kelly's remarkably contained analytic work is an argument for the social construction of subjectivity in a striking indictment of essential femininity." -- Kate Linker, Parachute
From the Inside Flap
"Mary Kelly's Post-Partum Document, one of this century's most significant and influential artistic statements on identity, represents the ultimate merging of feminism and minimalist performativity. . . . It is an extraordinary work that is viscerally experienced rather than statically received."--Maurice Berger, New School for Social Research

Post pardum document,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Post-Partum Document (Paperback)
Very interesting book. A woman that documents her childs life for the first seven years collecting everything from soiled diapers to rexording his phenetics of early speech. A wonderil modern example of art and concept. A great way to spend many an afternoon delving into the pychology of a female artist. I highly recomend it for the modern art lovers, (even though this work is considered post-modern, isn't post-modern by definition modern itself?)
