"Before gaining widespread recognition for sculptural work that
sought to dissolve aesthetic boundaries, most notably between sculpture
and furniture, Scott Burton produced a substantial body of art writing
in the late 1960s and early 1970s. An eclectic and wide-ranging critic,
he wrote such important texts as the introduction to the groundbreaking
exhibition Live in Your Head: When Attitudes Become Form and served as an editor for both ARTnews and Art in America.
In these same years, Burton became known as a performance artist,
developing themes he pursued in his writing. Yet, his role as an
artist-critic has rarely been discussed.
