birth year was listed as 1964, the year she graduated from Sarah Lawrence. actually 1942, dont know if august date is correct. born nyc, not peru. not sure what prev. ed. was smokin. Multiple sources say that this woman was born in Lima, Peru, and she's in some categories of Peruvian people, so I put a request for citation that she was born in New York. -- Descendall 05:40, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Link to "Mercy (album)" goes to other artist's album (also titled "Mercy"). I have small experience, but someone should fix this.
Meredith Monk was born in New York City. In the introduction to "Meredith Monk" (1997), edited by Deborah Jowitt, on page 3 Jowitt states that "Imagination and mischievousness goading each other on, Monk once wrote in a program biography that she was born in Peru, a fact that has become embedded in her history. She was born in New York City." --Gwilelym —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gwilelym ( talk • contribs) 20:00, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm surprised that this article received a B rating. B rating (according to the fairly liberal Biography project assessment standards) means "the article is mostly complete and without major issues". (I came here expecting to apply the more detailed standards of the Composers project.) There's almost no early biographical information in it (or were the years between 1942 and the early 1960s time-warped away?). The article reads like little more than a publicity profile; and considering a biography of her already exists (noted in a citation), there is presumably much room for expansion. I've lowered the rating to Start. Magic ♪piano 14:58, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Meredith was already quite well-known in the mid-70s, before she created her vocal group. While voice and other music was a central part of her earlier work, it was often marketed as dance and she was often considered a choreographer who also worked with music, or as a multimedia artist. She was not especially considered central in the performance art nor the music scenes of the time.
Is the absence of any mention of her scenic body work in this article reasonable? Arguably it is what brought her fame.
Similarly, I'm not sure why Beverly Schmidt Blossom is singled out for her studies at Sarah Laurence, hardly the best known of her professors there.
And why the absence of Ping Chong, who she co-signed much work with?
I don't know if this reflects how Monk chooses to present herself today, but an encyclopedia should certainly not avoid the sources of her fame, and should not slant its coverage to an "official biography", if that is the case.
