The material is largely derived from “The Star-Spangled Banner.” One need not attribute an excess of patriotic fervor in the composer as a source for this optimistic homage to our national anthem; Carolyn Bremer, a passionate baseball fan since childhood, drew upon her feelings of happy anticipation at hearing the anthem played before ball games when writing her piece.

Together with their two children, they moved into a farmhouse in Devon, in the English countryside, where, joined by a group of friends that included the artist and art historian David Mayor, the graphic designer Chris Welch and his partner Madeleine Gallard, they formed ‘a community of duplicators, printers and artisans’. Beau Geste Press was active until 1976, printing publications by visual poets, neo-Dadaists and international artists affiliated with the Fluxus movement.

The founding of SÚM in 1965 brought forth, for the first time, a generation of Icelandic artists whose practices closely correspond to that of experimental artists globally, especially those aligned with Fluxus and conceptual art. As I highlight, this relied on Iceland’s belated modernization and changes to the country’s geopolitical status in the twentieth century, as well as on global efforts to decentralize the artworld.

  • 397 INTERVIEW with HENNING CHRISTIANSEN Francesco Conz
    INTERVIEW WITH HENNING CHRISTIANSEN Francesco Conz Translated from the German by Michael Swellander This interview, conducted in 1992 in Møn, Denmark, in German by the Italian publisher and art collector Francesco Conz, was never published and has been transcribed and translated for publication in this journal. Conz and Christiansen discuss the latter’s career from the 1960s to the then-present, with a focus on Christiansen’s collaborations with a range of artists throughout Europe. The tran- scription was lightly edited for clarity and accuracy, and condensed to remove some of the small talk on the original recording. We have indicated in the transcription where there were breaks in the tape, which was transferred to digital by Magnus Kaslov. (397–427) 397 FRANCESCO CONZ What is today? HENNING CHRISTIANSEN Today is August 12, 1992. That is the date, and I am 60. I was born in 1932. Is the machine running? FC The machine is running. HC The machine is running. Good. I was born in Copenhagen in 1932. Then school, etc. Sometimes sick, sometimes healthy. Then at 18—1950—I went to the conservatory in Copenhagen with a major in clarinet and minor in composition, and of course music theory, music history, and everything else. Solfège… FC I wanted to ask a question… it is harder to interview in English… HC Yes, it is harder in English. I was thinking about that, too. I speak German better than English. The words for me… I don’t know it as well as everyone else does. They also only have three lan- guages.

  • Abstract the Literature of Fluxus Documents a Conversa
    FLUX US AFTER FL UX U S Abstract The literature of Fluxus documents a conversa­ ----------------------· tion on the concepts, media forms and practices developed in an international laboratory of art­ ists, architects, composers, designers and poets. It also documents a dramatic shift in impact and reception . Half a century ago, Fluxus participants did most of their own writing. Today, afar broader conversation includes a wide variety of writers from many fields and disciplines. This article traces a half-century of change and growth from a critical perspective. It addresses problems in the work of ear(y writers, enthusi­ astic but personal, often flawed by inaccuracies reflecting personal positions while lacking his­ toriographic awareness. It also raises questions and issues that scholars and critics must consider in today's intermedia era. Serious contributions to the literature of Fluxus now join personal reflection, philosophical depth and cariful schol­ arship. The growth of excellent writing and the accessibility of source documents make this a time of renewal and opportunity for the literature of Fluxus. The claims of history require establish­ ing a literary space in which the original Fluxus voices speak while allowing writers the freedom of multiple interpretations.

We’re thrilled that the community of Contemporary Performance—both the online network and the larger performance world—has responded with such enthusi- asm to this ongoing project. From the overwhelming response to the first annual edition, we’ve been spurred on by the positive feedback from the contributors and readers of the book. It’s exciting to see artists returning with new work and to see new contributors to the collection. Our motivation for the creation of this project remains the same: So often presenters do not have access to artists and works that haven’t traveled outside their city or country of origin, and artists do not have access to survey the work of peers that might be working in sympathetic modalities. Contemporary Performance sees a need to give artists, presenters, and others in the field an opportunity to start new working relationships. We hope that this Almanac—as an extension of the Network—can meet that need, and to aid discovery, spark curiosity, and facilitate exchange. We’re continually excited to see the breadth of disciplines practiced by the participants and the global scope of the contributions. Inside the pages of this Almanac are the artworks described by the artists in their own words: eloquent, challenging, provocative and urgent.
