Biography Poet, composer, and visual and performance artist Anne Tardos was born in Cannes, France in 1943. She grew up in Paris, Budapest, and Vienna, developing fluency in French, Hungarian, German, and English before moving to New York in 1966. Her parents were both artistic: her father a writer of fiction and her mother a radio producer and speaker which, Tardos says, is a kind of performance art. Both parents were fervent communists and then, disillusioned, just as fervently anticommunist. This lack of philosophical continuity during her formative years is a reason, Tardos believes, that she isn't inclined toward political commitment or to trust any belief system that offers certainty, a stance that was greatly reinforced by the destruction on September 11, 2001 of the World Trade Centers, located a few blocks south of her Tribeca home on North Moore Street. Tardos pioneered a unique multilingual writing style, and often complemented her texts with video stills, photographs, and collages. Her writing is renowned for its fluid use of multiple languages and its innovative forms. She has worked in numerous media, creating performance pieces, radio plays, videos, and musical compositions. In 1975, Tardos met poet and composer Jackson Mac Low. In 1980, they began a decades-long collaboration composing, writing, and performing poetry and music, and they married in 1990. In addition to numerous live performances, their collaborative and individual works have been featured on numerous radio programs in the United States and in Europe, including WNYC-FM and Westdeutscher Rundfunk. The nature of their artistic collaboration can be suggested by music critic Anthony Tommasini's description of their jointly composed piece "For Dick Higgins" as "a sound collage of spoken texts, vocal effects and an occasional struck bell, performed by the two composers." Hejinian begins Tardos interview with a similar observation: "You have worked in an enormous variety of artistic mediums…and in mixed media and cross-genre forms of your own invention." Tardos herself has said of her writing process, "The text becomes music and the writer becomes a composer who listens." Adding to this aesthetic amalgam is the fact that many of her poems are multilingual, using French, Hungarian, and German as well as English words and passages. Before, during, and after her marriage to Mac Low (which ended with his death in 2004), Tardos pursued many solo endeavors as well. A typical example of a "found sound composition" is her 1975 recording of the sounds her refrigerator made as she defrosted it, which she then overlaid with a series of her own vocalizations, creating in effect a Duet with Anne Tardos Papers MSS 0770 2 Refrigerator. She has illustrated covers of many small press publications, her texts have been set to music by several contemporary composers, and her visual work has been exhibited at the Venice Biennale, MoMA, the Whitney Museum of American Art and galleries in New York, Paris, and elsewhere. Her publications continue to demonstrate new ways in which disparate media can be creatively partnered. As the esteemed critic Marjorie Perloff has written, "Tardos plays with every possible verbal/visual/ musical relationship…and can work magic with the…tension between high art and 'ordinary' signage." And as Hejinian has succinctly stated, "Your work throughout is exemplary of what is truly 'innovative.'" Tardos married the composer Michael Byron in 2012.

  • Poem on the Page: a Collection of Broadsides
    Granary Books and Jeff Maser, Bookseller are pleased to announce Poem on the Page: A Collection of Broadsides Robert Creeley. For Benny and Sabina. 15 1/8 x 15 1/8 inches. Photograph by Ann Charters. Portents 18. Portents, 1970. BROADSIDES PROLIFERATED during the small press and mimeograph era as a logical offshoot of poets assuming control of their means of publication. When technology evolved from typewriter, stencil, and mimeo machine to moveable type and sophisticated printing, broadsides provided a site for innovation with design and materials that might not be appropriate for an entire pamphlet or book; thus, they occupy a very specific place within literary and print culture. Poem on the Page: A Collection of Broadsides includes approximately 500 broadsides from a diverse range of poets, printers, designers, and publishers. It is a unique document of a particular aspect of the small press movement as well as a valuable resource for research into the intersection of poetry and printing. See below for a list of some of the poets, writers, printers, typographers, and publishers included in the collection. Selected Highlights from the Collection Lewis MacAdams.

    Archive from “A Secret Location” Small Press / Mimeograph Revolution, 1940s–1970s We are pleased to offer for sale a captivating and important research collection of little magazines and other printed materials that represent, chronicle, and document the proliferation of avant-garde, underground small press publications from the forties to the seventies. The starting point for this collection, “A Secret Location on the Lower East Side,” is the acclaimed New York Public Library exhibition and catalog from 1998, curated by Steve Clay and Rodney Phillips, which documented a period of intense innovation and experimentation in American writing and literary publishing by exploring the small press and mimeograph revolutions. The present collection came into being after the owner “became obsessed with the secretive nature of the works contained in the exhibition’s catalog.” Using the book as a guide, he assembled a singular library that contains many of the rare and fragile little magazines featured in the NYPL exhibition while adding important ancillary material, much of it from a West Coast perspective. Left to right: Bill Margolis, Eileen Kaufman, Bob Kaufman, and unidentified man printing the first issue of Beatitude. [Ref SL p. 81]. George Herms letter ca. late 90s relating to collecting and archiving magazines and documents from the period of the Mimeograph Revolution. Small press publications from the forties through the seventies have increasingly captured the interest of scholars, archivists, curators, poets and collectors over the past two decades. They provide bedrock primary source information for research, analysis, and exhibition and reveal little known aspects of recent cultural activity. The Archive from “A Secret Location” was collected by a reclusive New Jersey inventor and offers a rare glimpse into the diversity of poetic doings and material production that is the Small Press Revolution.

  • Part of His History 1944-2020 by Steve Clay Originally Published in the Brooklyn Rail Dec 20 – Jan 21, 2021 Issue
    IN MEMORIAM Lewis Warsh: Part of His History 1944-2020 By Steve Clay Originally published in The Brooklyn Rail Dec 20 – Jan 21, 2021 Issue Working with Lewis Warsh was always an effortless pleasure and indistinguishable from our friendship. I first met him in Brooklyn in 1995, introduced by Mitch Highfill. We spoke about his archive and collection of rare books he wanted to sell, and arranged to meet at his apartment. During that visit I looked at his treasures, among which was a small book he'd assembled by hand when he found a set of black and white photographs taken in 1968, primarily on Bustin's Island, Maine and in Bolinas, California. The photographs were classic family-style vacation snapshots of Lewis and Anne Waldman, Ted, Sandy, and Kate Berrigan, Tom, Angelica, and baby Juliet Clark, Joanne Kyger, Jack Boyce, and others. Lewis had mounted the photos into a store- bought hardcover photo book, then typed captions and placed them across from the pictures: The front cover read Bustin's Island '68. I immediately proposed that Granary Books publish Portrait of Lewis Warsh, pencil on paper by Phong H. Bui. an edition. I was impressed with the spontaneity of the photographs and the sincerity of the writing. They gave me a private glimpse into a community of poets whose work and stories I knew but was now seeing in their formative years as friends and collaborators. It's a remarkably lucid portrait of a time and place. The captions, written 28 years after the fact, brought perspective to the changes during the intervening years.

  • Keeping Score: “With Womens Work” at Issue Project Room
    Keeping Score: “With Womens Work” at Issue Project Room artnews.com/art-in-america/aia-reviews/with-womens-work-issue-project-room-1234590445 April 21, 2021 Within the ecosystem of publications documenting the heterogeneous art world of the 1960s and 1970s, the first issue of the little-known 1975 magazine Womens Work stands as a modest but critical volume. A slim booklet printed in brown ink on beige paper, it contains thirty-two pages of event scores, elliptical texts written as instructions for performative actions. The genre is typically associated with a motley group of male Fluxus artists, particularly George Maciunas and La Monte Young. Together with Jackson Mac Low, they produced the book An Anthology of Chance Operations (1963), a compendium of these emergent language notations, with works by Yoko Ono and Simone Forti as the lone contributions by Cover of Womens Work volume 1, 1975. women. Womens Work, by contrast, announced Courtesy Annea Lockwood an irruption of text-based scores by a network of female practitioners working across music, dance, performance, and visual art. Emerging at the height of second wave feminism, the publication highlighted both the messy interdisciplinarity inherent to experimental artmaking in the postwar period and the women left out of narratives around it. The second and final issue of the magazine, published in 1978, took the form of a fold-out poster containing photographs and reproductions that are less immediately readable as instructional scores; Primary Information produced a facsimile edition of both issues in 2019. For the digital performance series “With Womens Work,” presented by Issue Project Room in Brooklyn (through May 5), an international roster of female-identifying artists was invited to interpret and respond to the 1975 scores, offering an opportunity to revisit this important publication and consider its continued resonance today.

  • Sari Dienes, 93, Artist Devoted to the Value of the Found Object by ROBERTA SMITH Published: May 28, 1992
    Sari Dienes, 93, Artist Devoted To the Value of the Found Object By ROBERTA SMITH Published: May 28, 1992 Sari Dienes, an artist whose career spanned many different media and several decades of the New York art world, died on Monday at her home in Stony Point, N.Y. She was 93 years old. She died of cancer, said Rip Hayman, a friend and the curator of the Sari Dienes Foundation. Mrs. Dienes, whose original name was Chylinska von Daivitz, was born in Hungary in 1898 and in her youth studied dance, music and philosophy. She was married at the age of 19 to a French mathematician, Paul Dienes, and she did not decide to become an artist until she was 29 and living in Wales with her husband. Over the next decade, she studied art in Paris and London with Ferdinand Leger, Andre Lhote and Henry Moore. Stranded in New York at the outbreak of World War II, she made the city her home, supporting herself by teaching art. 'Nothing Is So Humble' As an artist, Mrs. Dienes had an innately experimental approach to materials and techniques and a lasting faith in the power of the found object. "Bones, lint, Styrofoam, banana skins, the squishes and squashes found on the street: nothing is so humble that it cannot be made into art," she once said, and her work tended to prove her right. During her career she made elaborate rubbings of American Indian petroglyphs and New York City manhole covers, created assemblages out of bones and sundry other materials, painted Abstract Expressionist drip paintings and turned her studio- house in Stony Point, in Rockland County, into a walk-in art environment.
