This number is dedicated to Video and Performance art with articles / contributions by Vito Acconci, Robert Bell, Joseph Beuys, Ulrike Rosenbach, Dennis Oppenheim, Keith Sonnier, Richard Serra, Chris Burden, Willoughby Sharp and William Wegman. The paper is as always a little browned and some wear and tear to the edges and spine (which has small tears but is intact) however this is better condition than usually found. The later numbers of Avalanche are much harder to find than the earlier ones.
