Checklist of the Exhibition Checklist of the Exhibition Silverman numbers. The numbering system for works in the Gilbert and Lila Silverman Fluxus Collection is explained in Fluxus Codex, edited by Jon Hendricks (New York: Harry N. Abrams, 1988), p. 29.ln the present checklist, the Silverman number appears at the end of each item. Dates: Dating of Fluxus works is an inexact science. The system used here employs two, and sometimes three, dates for each work. The first is the probable date the work was initially produced, or when production of the work began. based on information compiled in Fluxus Codex. If it is known that initial production took a specific period, then a second date, following a dash, is MoMAExh_1502_MasterChecklist used. A date following a slash is the known or probable date that a particular object was made. Titles. In this list, the established titles of Fluxus works and the titles of publications, events, and concerts are printed in italics. The titles of scores and texts not issued as independent publications appear in quotation marks. The capitalization of the titles of Fluxus newspapers follows the originals. Brackets indicate editorial additions to the information printed on the original publication or object. Facsimiles.

  • Tout Est Art ? * * Is Everything Art ? Ben at the Musée Maillol
    Everything is art, 1961, 33.5 x 162 cm, The Musée Maillol reopens with an exhibition by Ben acrylic on wood, Ben’s personal collection. TOUT EST ART ? * * IS EVERYTHING ART ? BEN AT THE MUSÉE MAILLOL Ben takes possession of the newly reopened Musée Maillol for the first large-scale exhibition devoted to the artist in Paris. Bringing together over 200 artworks principally from the artist’s own personal collection, as well as private collections, this retrospective, which features several previously unseen installations, provides the public with an insight into the multiple and complex facets of this iconoclastic, provocative and prolific artist, an advocate of the non-conformist and the alternative for over 50 years. This exhibition devoted to Ben is part of a new programme of exhibitions put in place by Culturespaces at the Musée Maillol which will reopen its doors in September after 18 months of renovation work. In the late 1950s, Benjamin Vautier (b. 1935) more widely known as Ben, declared: ‘I sign everything’. This statement, corroborated by his images and actions, illustrates his belief that the world and indeed art, is a whole, and that everything constitutes art. Each phrase, however brief, reveals a meditation on important issues such as truth in art, the role of the artist in society and the relationship between art and life itself. His ‘écritures’ or written texts reflect his own personal questions and bear testimony to a critical spirit that is quick to question everyone and everything, including himself. Inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s ready-mades, Ben has systematically perpetuated the notion that a work of art is recognizable not by its material content, but by its signature alone.

  • Takehisa Kosugi – SPACINGS
    Ikon Gallery, 1 Oozells Square, Brindleyplace, Birmingham B1 2HS 0121 248 0708 / www.ikon-gallery.org Open Tuesday-Sunday, 11am-5pm / free entry Takehisa Kosugi SPACINGS 22 July – 27 September 2015 Takehisa Kosugi, Solo Concert, 23 September 2008. The Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse. Photographer: Kiyotoshi Takashima. Ikon presents the first major solo exhibition in the UK by Japanese composer and artist Takehisa Kosugi (b 1938). A pioneer of experimental music in Japan in the early 1960s, he is one of the most influential artists of his generation. Closely associated with the Fluxus movement, Kosugi joined the Merce Cunningham Dance Company in the 1970s, becoming Musical Director in 1995, and working with the Company up until its final performance in 2011. This exhibition will feature three sound installations, including one made especially for Ikon. Often comprising everyday materials and radio electronics, they involve interactions with wind, electricity and light, making sonic relationships between objects. Kosugi was first drawn to music by his father’s enthusiasm for playing the harmonica, and recordings of violinists Mischa Elman and Joseph Szigeti, which he heard while growing up in post-war Tokyo. He went on to study musicology at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music during the late 1950s. He was inspired by the spirit of experimentation coming from Europe and the US, while simultaneously intrigued by traditional Japanese music, in particular Noh Theatre, and its concept of ‘ma’ - the conscious appreciation of the in-between-ness of one sound and another. “That sense of ma in traditional Japanese music, the sense of timing is different from Western music.

We will experiment with conceptual and hands-on approaches used by a diverse range of artists. This course will challenge students to critically examine various sculptural methods, analyze their own creative processes, and produce work utilizing these techniques. Participants in the course will focus on sculpture as it relates to post-studio practice, ephemeral art, interdisciplinary thinking, performance, and temporal site-specific art production within the realm of sculpture. The course is designed to be taken largely online to accommodate the limitations caused by the pandemic. COURSE OBJECTIVES • Gain an understanding of sculpture history and sculpture and the expanded field. • Learn various techniques to make art outside of the parameters of the studio, and gallery space. • Develop techniques to intervene and make work in a site-specific context. • Become more ambitious in your research, conceptualization, and in the realization of your work.

  • Off Museum! Performance Art That Turned the Street Into 'Theatre,' Circa 1964 Tokyo
    Performance Paradigm 2 (March 2006) Off Museum! Performance Art That Turned the Street into ‘Theatre,’ Circa 1964 Tokyo Midori Yoshimoto Performance art was an integral part of the urban fabric of Tokyo in the late 1960s. The so- called angura, the Japanese abbreviation for ‘underground’ culture or subculture, which mainly referred to film and theatre, was in full bloom. Most notably, Tenjô Sajiki Theatre, founded by the playwright and film director Terayama Shûji in 1967, and Red Tent, founded by Kara Jûrô also in 1967, ruled the underground world by presenting anti-authoritarian plays full of political commentaries and sexual perversions. The butoh dance, pioneered by Hijikata Tatsumi in the late 1950s, sometimes spilled out onto streets from dance halls. Students’ riots were ubiquitous as well, often inciting more physically violent responses from the state. Street performances, however, were introduced earlier in the 1960s by artists and groups, who are often categorised under Anti-Art, such as the collectives Neo Dada (originally known as Neo Dadaism Organizer; active 1960) and Zero Jigen (Zero Dimension; active 1962-1972). In the beginning of Anti-Art, performances were often by-products of artists’ non-conventional art-making processes in their rebellion against the artistic institutions. Gradually, performance art became an autonomous artistic expression. This emergence of performance art as the primary means of expression for vanguard artists occurred around 1964. A benchmark in this aesthetic turning point was a group exhibition and outdoor performances entitled Off Museum. The recently unearthed film, Aru wakamono-tachi (Some Young People), created by Nagano Chiaki for the Nippon Television Broadcasting in 1964, documents the performance portion of Off Museum, which had been long forgotten in Japanese art history.

    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.

  • DADA REV TED: the Iowa Conference
    Vol. 1, No. May, 1978 DADA REV TED: the iowa conference The first conference devoted solely to the study and dis- cussion of Dada took place in Iowa from 30 March to 1 April 1978 at the University of Iowa. Sponsored by the University of Iowa School of Art and Art Mistory, and by the Depart- ment of English and the Program in Comparative Literature, the conference was organized by Prof. Stephen Foster of Art History and Prof. Rudolf Kuenzli of Comparative Litera- ture. TFhe need for a view of Dada seen in its own light as one of the major cultural phenomena of the 20th century has long been felt. Despite the tendency i? the work of some art his- torians to treat Dada as a paragraph preceding the chapter on Surrealism, it has become clear by the 1970s that Dada was in its own right a uniquely important and influential art move- ment. 3%; presence of scholars in literature, culture, psycho- Iogy and human sciences at the Conference also clarified the contributions made by Dada to many fields other than art-- ranging from political propaganda to typography to music. A much clearer understanding of contemporary culture emerges through the direct study of Dada than through the study of Dada via Surrealism. The Iowa conference was a vduable step toward the opening of the field of Dada studies, particularly in the interdisciplinary mode which is required by the explosive, interdisciplinary movement which was Dada. Followitlg the opening session, the University hosted a The Conference opened on Thursday, 30 March, in a session reception at the President's House, at which time many of chaired by Wallace Tomasini, Director of the School of Art the conference participants had a first opportunity to meet and Art History.

  • Geoffrey Hendricks
    Geoffrey Hendricks Geoffrey Hendricks was involved in the Judson Gallery in 1967 and 1968. _ n the 1960s, Judson Memorial Church, and especially the Jud- son Gallery in the basement of Judson House, became an impor- tant part of my life. That space at 239 Thompson Street was modest but versatile. Throughout the decade I witnessed many transformations of it as friends and artists, including myself, created work there. The gallery's small size and roughness were perhaps assets. One could work freely and make it into what it had to be. It was a con- tainer for each person's ideas, dreams, images, actions. Three people in particular formed links for me to the space: Allan Kaprow, Al Carmines, and my brother, Jon Hendricks. It must have been through Allan Kaprow that I first got to know about the Judson Gallery. When I began teaching at Rutgers Univer- sity (called Douglass College at the time) in 1956, Allan and I be- came colleagues, and I went to the Judson Gallery to view his Apple Shrine (November 3D-December24, 1960). In that environment one moved through a maze of walls of crumpled newspaper supported on chicken wire and arrived at a square, flat tray that was suspended in the middle and had apples on it. With counterpoints of city and country, it was dense and messy but had an underlying formal struc- ture. His work of the previous few years had had a tremendous im- pact on me: his 18 Happenings in 6 Parts, at the Reuben Gallery (October 1959), his earlier installation accompanied with a text en- titled Notes on the Creation of a Total Art at the Hansa Gallery (February 1958), and his first happening in Voorhees Chapel at Douglass College (April 1958).
