Pleading in the Blood: The Art of Ron Athey
Dear all,
Your kind support is requested towards a major publication dedicated to our good friend and long-term Kaos collaborator, pioneering and influential performance artist, Ron Athey.
This will be the first ever publication devoted to the work of Ron Athey, a central figure in the development of performance art since the 1980s.
While histories of art, performance, theatre, and queer/punk/industrial subcultures have consistently acknowledged Athey’s major contribution to the development of contemporary culture, there has never been a dedicated book about him. Pleading in the Blood aims to fill this conspicuous gap.
Pleading in the Blood will be edited by Dominic Johnson and co-published in 2012 by the Live Art Development Agency (UK) and The MIT Press (USA).
The Live Art Development Agency and MIT Press have already raised two thirds of the publication’s budget. However, we believe that Pleading in the Blood merits the highest possible standards and be as richly illustrated and as lavishly produced as possible. Your support will strongly enhance those production values and will be a crucially needed step in meeting the collective vision for the book.
Signed copies of the book and signed Ron Athey prints are available in return for donations.
For more information or to make a contribution please visit:

The deadline for donations is Dec 31
