  • Fluxus: the Is Gnificant Role of Female Artists Megan Butcher
    Pace University DigitalCommons@Pace Honors College Theses Pforzheimer Honors College Summer 7-2018 Fluxus: The iS gnificant Role of Female Artists Megan Butcher Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.pace.edu/honorscollege_theses Part of the Contemporary Art Commons, and the Other History Commons Recommended Citation Butcher, Megan, "Fluxus: The iS gnificant Role of Female Artists" (2018). Honors College Theses. 178. https://digitalcommons.pace.edu/honorscollege_theses/178 This Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by the Pforzheimer Honors College at DigitalCommons@Pace. It has been accepted for inclusion in Honors College Theses by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@Pace. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract The Fluxus movement of the 1960s and early 1970s laid the groundwork for future female artists and performance art as a medium. However, throughout my research, I have found that while there is evidence that female artists played an important role in this art movement, they were often not written about or credited for their contributions. Literature on the subject is also quite limited. Many books and journals only mention the more prominent female artists of Fluxus, leaving the lesser-known female artists difficult to research. The lack of scholarly discussion has led to the inaccurate documentation of the development of Fluxus art and how it influenced later movements. Additionally, the absence of research suggests that female artists’ work was less important and, consequently, keeps their efforts and achievements unknown. It can be demonstrated that works of art created by little-known female artists later influenced more prominent artists, but the original works have gone unacknowledged.

    VOXNOVA ITALIA KARLHEINZ STOCKHAUSEN Stimmung h 19:30 | Music Insid(i)e Introduzione a Stimmung con Francesco Antonioni a cura di Nuova Consonanza Ebbene, in “Stimmung” sei voci soliste per oltre un’ora girano Questa partitura così complessa porta il segno dello spostamento di attorno a un solo accordo: Si bemolle settima-nona. Che ci siano Stockhausen verso una dimensione avventurosa, dove l’esperienza anche la settima e la nona arricchisce l’accordo, ma è poca cosa, di compositore d’avanguardia è messa al servizio d’una musica eppure Karlheinz Stockhausen, partendo da elementi così semplici disinvolta e disinibita. Il tutto appare funzionale a creare un crea una grande architettura sonora, divisa in 51 sezioni (definiti universo sonoro dove l’ascoltatore possa entrare con meno “Momenten”) e, soprattutto, apre la porta in direzione di un preoccupazione, rispetto agli affascinanti furori più radicali degli universo particolare, incerto lontano. Sta all’ascoltatore decidere anni ‘50 e inizio ‘60 del secolo scorso e, a sua scelta, perfino lasciarsi se entrarci. Il titolo “Stimmung” è intraducibile: in tedesco indica andare. l’intonazione di uno strumento o di una voce, ma è riferibile anche a uno stato emotivo, intonato con il prossimo o il mondo. In italiano Luca Del Fra è la parola ‘armonia’ che più si avvicina a “stimmung”, perché indica non solo qualcosa di musicale, ma anche di psicologico, fisico, d’accordo tra diverse persone, perfino l’equilibrio di un paesaggio, Mary Bauermeister, la seconda moglie di Stockhausen, ha avuto d’un edificio e così via. Partendo dall’idea di armonia, si può con questo compositore un rapporto di forte scambio intellettuale cominciare a osservare l’architettura concepita da Stockhausen, e artistico e i testi erotici scritti da Stockhausen stesso per vedi bene, interamente costruita sugli armonici fondamentali del “Stimmung” sono a lei dedicati.

  • Remembering Performance Artist Ben Patterson (07-02-16)
    SWFL Art & Theater News for July 1-7, 2016 Remembering performance artist Ben Patterson (07-02-16) Artist Ben Patterson died on June 25 in Wiesbaden, Germany. Southwest Florida art lovers will remember Ben from his participation in ELEVEN: The John Erickson Museum of Art (JEMA) 10-Year Retrospective that was exhibited in the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery on the Lee campus of Florida SouthWestern State College between May 6 and July 27, 2014. Patterson is commonly grouped with seminal Fluxus artists Dick Higgins, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, George Maciunas and George Brecht. He was not only one of the original core members of Fluxus, but the movement’s sole African American member. But unlike many African American modern artists, Patterson was considered a Fluxus artist first and a black artist second. Of course, Patterson himself resisted classification as a Fluxus artist. While his work clearly conformed with many accepted Fluxus ideologies and practices, it also differed from them in important ways. Like many other Fluxus artists, Patterson engaged in different types of work which at their core were experimental and performance-based, but he was uniquely multidisciplinary, choosing to operate in the uncharted seam or vacuum that exists between art, music and literature. Patterson’s most famous and enduring work was Paper Piece. A performance score, Paper Piece was an apt illustration of Patterson’s overlapping, overarching multidisciplinary approach, which reflected his education as a musician at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, from which he matriculated with a Bachelor of Music degree in 1956. After working as a musician with various orchestras in the United States and Canada, Patterson moved to Cologne, Germany in 1960, where he instantly became active in the radical contemporary music scene.

  • Stockhausen Momente
    François Gautier président Brigitte Marger directeur général Les Momente de Karlheinz Stockhausen n’ont pas été joués à Paris depuis 1973, du fait peut-être de l’effectif important de cette œuvre et des nombreuses répé- titions qu’elle nécessitent. La cité de la musique et le Festival d’Automne à Paris sont donc heureux, à l’occasion du 70e anniversaire de Karlheinz Stockhausen, de présenter cette partition qui a marqué la fin des années soixante par ses dimensions monumentales autant que par la subtilité de sa conception for- melle, partagée entre l’appréciation simultanée de l’instant et de l’architecture générale. Au même titre que les Nouvelles Aventures (1962-1965) de György Ligeti ou que Laborintus II (1965) de Luciano Berio, les Momente (1962-64 / 69) de Karlheinz Stockhausen s’appuient en effet sur un matériau littéraire ostensi- blement détourné pour s’approcher d’un expressionnisme abstrait proche du théâtre musical. mardi Karlheinz Stockhausen 29 septembre - 20h Momente (1962-64 / 69) (version 1998) salle des concerts Rupert Huber, direction Angela Tunstall, soprano Karlheinz Stockhausen, projection du son Ensemble instrumental MusikFabrik Kölner Rundfunkchor concert avec entracte durée : 2 heures 20 minutes production Westdeutscher Rundfunk, Cologne, avec le concours de la Fondation Art et Culture de la Rhénanie/Nord Westpalie coproduction cité de la musique, Festival d’Automne à Paris Karlheinz Stockhausen Momente effectif : soprano solo, quatre groupes choraux, 1 orgue Hammond, 1 orgue Lowrey, 3 groupes de percussions, 4 trompettes, 4 trombones ; le 1er groupe choral joue 8 tam- bours de carton et 4 tambourins ; le 2e groupe choral joue 12 paires de claves ; le 3e groupe choral joue 12 boîtes de plastique transformées en maracas ; le 4e groupe choral joue 12 paires de barres métalliques.
