One of the Dozens: Performance Art in Los Angeles, (202 pages full-color), is the fourth art book produced and curated by PraxinoscopeX, completing its 2022 PerformX Dox series. The book documents, dithers, and comments upon twelve duets by twenty-two artists presented on December 8, 2022 at Beyond Baroque Center for Literary Arts in Venice, California. In addition, the book contains “Performance Instructions and Provocations” derived from theme and substance of each of the artworks, inspired by similar participatory texts created by Yoko Ono and Julio Cortazar.
