    Into Performance: Japanese Women Artists in New York 06/28/2007 06:25 PM critical reviews of books, exhibitions, and projects in all areas and periods of art history and visual studies published by the College Art Association June 27, 2007 Midori Yoshimoto Into Performance: Japanese Women Artists in New York New Brunswick: Rutgers University Press, 2005. 248 pp.; 76 b/w ills. Paper $29.95 (0813535212) Kevin Concannon In the context of today’s increasingly global art world, Midori Yoshimoto’s excellent and timely study, Into Performance: Japanese Women Artists in New York, fills a lacuna in the history of Japanese art in the West as well as in the history of the avant-garde more generally. Into Performance offers fascinating insight into the period between the Zen appropriations of Western artists in the 1950s and the identity art that reigned in the 1980s and 1990s, now so frequently subsumed under the more neutral (or, as some argue, neutralizing) rubric of globalism. The five Japanese women artists who are the subjects of Yoshimoto’s text—Yayoi Kusama, Yoko Ono, Takako Saito, Mieko Shiomi, and Shigeko Kubota—left Japan to pursue careers in New York City in the late 1950s and early1960s. Yet ultimately, each found herself marginalized—on the fringes of both Japanese and Western societies. Indeed they were the first generation of Japanese women artists to work outside Japan. Neither Japanese-American nor regarded as wholly Japanese by their compatriots, they occupied positions now not uncommon, but novel at the time. While Kusama and Ono have been subjects of substantial English-language monographs in recent years, Saito and Shiomi are considered almost exclusively within the context of their Fluxus affiliations.

I argue that Ono’s hybrid Japanese and American identity affected the acceptance of her person within the New York based branch of the avant- garde art group Fluxus, and affected the reception of her work in Japan.

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.

EHF Collection Fluxus, Concept Art, Mail Art Emily Harvey Foundation 537 Broadway New York, NY 10012 March 7 - March 18, 2017 1PM - 6:30PM or by appointment Opening March 7 - 6pm The second-floor loft at 537 Broadway, the charged site of Fluxus founder George Maciunas’s last New York workspace, and the Grommet Studio, where Jean Dupuy launched a pivotal phase of downtown performance art, became the Emily Harvey Gallery in 1984. Keeping the door open, and the stage lit, at the outset of a new and complex decade, Harvey ensured the continuation of these rare—and rarely profitable—activities in the heart of SoHo. At a time when conventional modes of art (such as expressive painting) returned with a vengeance, and radical practices were especially under threat, the Emily Harvey Gallery became a haven for presenting work, sharing dinners, and the occasional wedding. Harvey encouraged experimental initiatives in poetry, music, dance, performance, and the visual arts. In a short time, several artist diasporas made the gallery a new gravitational center. As a record of its founder’s involvements, the Emily Harvey Foundation Collection features key examples of Fluxus, Concept Art, and Mail Art, extending through the 1970s and 80s.

  • E.Jappe版action Art in Germany and Neighbouring
    Action Art in Germany and Neighbouring Countries Elisabeth JAPPE First of all I will give you an idea of the context and the conditions in which Action Art started to evolve in the Germanic countries, in Germany, Austria, Holland and Switzerland. The end of the forties and the beginning of the fifties were marked by the disaster of the Second World War. Germany and Austria were licking their wounds after losing the war. Holland had just lost its colonies in Indonesia. Everything was to be rebuilt and this required an incredible amount of physical and mental discipline. It was not a time for new experiences. This attitude resulted in an extremely conservative spirit, even in the spiritual world. Many things were forgotten: Futurism, Surrealism, Dada. While John CAGE was crossing the conventional borders between disciplines, creating a kind of living Gesamtkunstwerk, with a group of musicians, painters and choreographers at the Black Mountain College, Yves KLEIN exposed Le Vide (The Void) in France and claimed "to be able to fly". Artists in Germany - who for the most part had resisted the laws of Nazi aesthetics - were rediscovering abstraction and the free gesture in informal painting. It was only at the beginning of the sixties that things began to move on. Initially, there was a general feeling of malaise. Young people, and also artists, no longer wanted to accept the constraints of a society with only one idea in its head: its consolidation according to the economic laws of the market (taken to the extreme). At the same time, they rejected the concept of education extolled by preceding generations, particularly in Austria where the reactionary Church exerted a strong influence.

O Candidato Lisboa, 22 de Outubro de 2019 II RESUMO O livro enquanto veículo de expressão artística tem vindo a ser explorado desde a génese das práticas editoriais. O design, a música, o teatro, a literatura, o cinema, entre outras formas de manifestação criativa, são ingredientes do bolo que constituí a book art e a publicação independente, cuja expressividade é diretamente influenciada pela mistura rica de áreas e técnicas participantes. É necessário conhecer particularidades do trabalho percursor neste âmbito, para que se assimile e compreenda o papel disruptivo do artist’s book. As formas comunicação gráfica primevas (são exemplo as pinturas rupestres), despoletaram espontaneamente, cumprindo as necessidades do ser humano pré-histórico. Com o avançar dos anos, e à medida que a linguagem se desenvolvia cada vez mais complexa, os suportes de inscrição de matéria foram também aperfeiçoados. As culturas chinesa e egípcia possibilitaram a descoberta e refinamento do papel, ao aplicarem as fibras de bambu e papiro, respetivamente, num processo de fabricação de “folhas”.

  • Red Fox Press and Post-Fluxus Artistic Practices Research Thesis
    A Post-Fluxus Island: Red Fox Press and Post-Fluxus Artistic Practices Research Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with research distinction in Comparative Studies in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Elliott Jenkins The Ohio State University April 2016 Project Advisor: Philip Armstrong, Department of Comparative Studies Second Advisor: Kris Paulsen, Department of History of Art 2 Abstract The Fluxus paradigm, which took shape in the 1960s, is a movement that was founded on an experimental artistic lifestyle. Artists sought to synthesize art and life and emphasized intermedia artistic practices that subverted the mainstream art world through creating art that was simple, playful, and sometimes created by chance. Fluxus has become an extremely enigmatic artistic movement over time and has caused some scholars to concretize it and drain its life force. Other artists and scholars believe that Fluxus is still fully alive today - just iterated in a different form. This is the crux of Fluxus thought: is it ever changing and constantly adapting to contemporary culture. While I do not contend that this key characteristic is false, I assert that the key aspects of Fluxus ideologies in the twenty-first century can also open up new avenues of interpretation. I also wish to introduce the idea that Fluxus has inspired a relatively new artistic practice - a “post-Fluxus” practice. Francis Van Maele, Antic-Ham, and their Red Fox Press are the epitome of this “post- Fluxus” mode of artistic practice. For Franticham, Fluxus is a touchstone for many of their publications. But they also go beyond that paradigm with their use of contemporary technology, the way in which they craft their global artistic community, and the way they view their place in the complex history of art.

  • 2Nd February 2020 Sense Sound/Sound
    Gallery 4 3rd September 2019 – 2nd February 2020 Sense Sound/Sound Sense: Fluxus Music, Scores & Records in the Luigi Bonotto Collection Large Print Guide Fluxus, literally meaning ‘flow’, emerged in the 1960s as an internationalnetwork of artists, musicians, composers, poets, and dancers who engaged in experimental performances. Deploying a critical stance to society and the status-quo, artists including George Maciunas, John Cage, Alison Knowles, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, La Monte Young, Philip Corner and Joe Jones aimed to blur the boundaries between art and life through actions that used everyday materials. From the United States to Japan to countries throughout Europe, these Fluxus actions were shared through festivals, happenings and publications. Fluxus artists staged concerts that challenged the norms of music production. From chewing carrots to dropping beans in a piano, Continues on next page. their conceptual compositions introduced the element of chance and sought to emphasise art as lived experience over an individual ‘genius’ or finished product. Breaking free from traditional scores, Fluxus devised notational systems based on graphics, poetry, and written instructions. In Dick Higgins’ series of scores The Thousand Symphonies, the musical notation is created by holes in the sheet music made by machine guns, which is then distributed to performers to ‘play’. By contrast, Takehisa Kosugi’s score Musical Piece offers a direct instruction to visitors to make sound: ‘put this sheet of paper against your ear and rub it with your index finger.’ The movement’s core principle of equality also enabled many female artists to gain recognition. Significant examples such as Charlotte Moorman’s Bomb Cello and Mieko Shiomi’s An Embryo of Music are featured in the display.

After this introduction the concert itself began with a performance of Ben Patterson's Paper Piece. Two performers entered the stage from the wings carrying a large 3'x15' sheet of paper, which they then held over the heads of the front of the audience. At the same time, sounds of crumpling and tearing paper could be heard from behind the on-stage paper screen, in which a number of small holes began to appear. The piece of paper held over the audience's heads was then dropped as shreds and balls of paper were thrown over the screen and out into the audience. As the small holes grew larger, performers could be seen behind the screen. The initial two performers carried another large sheet out over the audience and from this a number of printed sheets of letter-sized paper were dumped onto the audience. On one side of these sheets was a kind of manifesto: "PURGE the world of bourgeois sickness, `intellectual', professional & commercialised culture, PURGE the world of dead art, imitation, artificial art, abstract art, illusionistic Page 4 [...] FUSE the cadres of cultural, social & political revolutionaries into united front & action."2 The performance of Paper Piece ended as the paper screen was gradually torn to shreds, leaving a paper-strewn stage.
