  • Collaborative “Mail Art” Puts the Post in Postmodernism Letters, Envelopes and Enclosures Take Center Stage in an Intimate New Art Show
    Collaborative “Mail Art” Puts the Post in Postmodernism Letters, envelopes and enclosures take center stage in an intimate new art show Envelope decoration was always a staple of the mail art experience. This colorful letter was sent from performance artist Anna Banana (Anna Lee Long) to collagist John Evans in 2010. (John Evans papers, Archives of American Art). By Ryan P. Smith JULY 30, 2018 In the era of instant messaging and FaceTime on the go, it can be easy to forget the pleasure of shuffling out to the mailbox in hope of discovering a thoughtful note from an old friend. Removing a letter from its envelope is a rich tactile experience, and marginalia, cross-outs, distinct penmanship and quirky enclosures combine to give epistolary exchanges a uniquely personal flavor. In the experimental artistic simmer of the late 1950s, the everyday creativity of letter-writing gave rise to a veritable movement: that of “mail art,” an antiestablishment, anything-goes mode of serial imaginative expression whose inclusive nature has kept it alive even into the Digital Age. Now a new show, “Pushing the Envelope,” organized by the Smithsonian's Achives of 2018 American Art and opening August 10 at the Lawrence A. Fleischman Gallery in Washington, D.C., promises to shine a spotlight on the medium. The enigmatic Neo-Dada collagist Ray Johnson, a Detroit native who struggled with fame even as he appropriated images of movie stars for his art, pioneered in the field of mail art, weaving together an immense spider web of collaborators that would survive him following his sudden suicide in 1995.

  • Tim Byers Art Books
    Tim Byers Art Books Vienna Art Book Fair #1 October 4 – 6, 2019 dieAngewandte – University of Applied Arts Vienna Vordere Zollamtsstraße 7 1030 Vienna AUSTRIA 1. BLUTORGEL. Die Blutorgel. Vienna. Self-published (Hermann Nitsch, Josef Dvorak, Otto Muehl & Adolf Frohner). 1962. Two horizontal sheets each (24.5 x 60.3 cm), printed double-sided. Folded. The manifesto Die Blutorgel (The Blood Organ) was published in late May 1962 by Adolf Frohner, Otto Muehl and Hermann Nitsch together with the psychoanalyst Josef Dvorak. It remains the first printed document published by the Vienna Actionists. The broadsheet contains Nitsch’s explanation of the concept behind the Orgies Mysteries Theater, and Muehl’s text “Der M.-Apparat”, a self-ironic consideration of his artistic approach. It also includes Frohner’s essay “Der Schrei der Kunst”, and Dvorak’s text “Blutorgelei als Daseinsgestaltung” (Blood Organing as Existential Design), written under the pseudonym Frtiz Graf. All these texts are preceded by the announcement of the forthcoming four-day ‘Blutorgel’ action which was to take place the following month at Muehl’s studio. On June 1 1962, the front entrance to Muehl’s basement studio on Perinetgasse in Vienna was bricked up and the windows were blacked; only a back entrance remained accessible. Screened off from the public and supplied with debris delivered to the basement, Adolf Frohner and Otto Muehl worked on sculptures. Meanwhile Nitsch created a nine-metre-long drip-and- pour painting. On the final day he acquired the carcass of a lamb, and for the first time Nitsch substituted blood for paint in one of his actions.

  • Statement on Intermedia
    the Collaborative Reader: Part 3 Statement on Intermedia Dick Higgins Synaesthesia and Intersenses Dick Higgins Paragraphs on Conceptual Art/ Sentences on Conceptual Art Sol Lewitt The Serial Attitude Mel Bochner The Serial Attitude – Mel Bochner Tim Rupert Introduction to the Music of John Cage James Pritchett In the Logician's Voice David Berlinski But Is It Composing? Randall Neal The Database As a Genre of New Media Lev Manovich STATEMENT ON INTERMEDIA Art is one of the ways that people communicate. It is difficult for me to imagine a serious person attacking any means of communication per se. Our real enemies are the ones who send us to die in pointless wars or to live lives which are reduced to drudgery, not the people who use other means of communication from those which we find most appropriate to the present situation. When these are attacked, a diversion has been established which only serves the interests of our real enemies. However, due to the spread of mass literacy, to television and the transistor radio, our sensitivities have changed. The very complexity of this impact gives us a taste for simplicity, for an art which is based on the underlying images that an artist has always used to make his point. As with the cubists, we are asking for a new way of looking at things, but more totally, since we are more impatient and more anxious to go to the basic images. This explains the impact of Happenings, event pieces, mixed media films. We do not ask any more to speak magnificently of taking arms against a sea of troubles, we want to see it done.

  • Henry Flynt and Generative Aesthetics Redefined
    1. In one of a series of video interviews conducted by Benjamin Piekut in 2005, Henry Flynt mentions his involvement in certain sci-fi literary scenes of the 1970s.1 Given his background in mathematics and analytic philosophy, in addition to his radical Marxist agitation as a member of 01/12 the Workers World Party in the sixties, Flynt took an interest in the more speculative aspects of sci-fi. “I was really thinking myself out of Marxism,” he says. “Trying to strip away its assumptions – [Marx’s] assumption that a utopia was possible with human beings as raw material.” Such musings would bring Flynt close to sci-fi as he considered the revision of the J.-P. Caron human and what he called “extraterrestrial politics.” He mentions a few pamphlets that he d wrote and took with him to meetings with sci-fi e On Constitutive n i writers, only to discover, shockingly, that they f e d had no interest in such topics. Instead, e R Dissociations conversations drifted quickly to the current state s c i 2 t of the book market for sci-fi writing. e h t ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊI’m interested in this anecdote in the as a Means of s e contemporary context given that sci-fi writing A e v has acquired status as quasi-philosophy, as a i t World- a r medium where different worlds are fashioned, e n sometimes guided by current scientific research, e G as in so-called “hard” sci-fi.

  • “The Lunatics Are on the Loose...” NIKOLAJ KUNSTHAL November 3 - November 25 2012
    “THE LUNATICS ARE ON THE LOOSE...” NIKOLAJ KUNSTHAL November 3 - November 25 2012 50 years ago, Nikolaj, Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center, provided the setting for some of the very first Fluxus concerts. To celebrate this occasion, a three-week Fluxus mini festival will take place, built around an interactive archive of more than 480 performances. The Lunatics Are on the Loose... presents 480 performances by 120 different artists, taking place at European Fluxus concerts 1962-1977. The archive features a multitude of sources from scores and photos to sound recordings and film clips to contemporary eyewitness reports. At the Nikolaj-exhibition, guests enter an interactive forest of Fluxus-performances. Each perfor- mance is presented on a separate card, hanging in a string from the ceiling. With this as the point of entry, one can embark on a journey in time and place and seek out artists grouped according to where each particular event took place during the particular year. Each card offers additional infor- mation about artists, score (if known) photos and/or description (if known) along with a digital code. Using an iPad to scan the code, one can move deeper down into the archive, getting more informa- tion on the performance in question and learn what else took place at the concert as well as more about the artist(s). Mini festival Apart from the interactive archive, there will be Fluxus film screenings, the opportunity to listen to avant-garde composed music of the 1960s and earlier, as well as a curator talk on Fluxus and its importance for today’s contemporary art.

  • Major Exhibition Poses Tough Questions and Reasserts Fluxus Attitude
    Contact: Alyson Cluck 212/998-6782 or [email protected] Major Exhibition Poses Tough Questions And Reasserts Fluxus Attitude Fluxus and the Essential Questions of Life and Fluxus at NYU: Before and Beyond open at NYU’s Grey Art Gallery on September 9, 2011 New York City (July 21, 2011)—On view from September 9 through December 3, 2011, at New York University’s Grey Art Gallery, Fluxus and the Essential Questions of Life features over 100 works dating primarily from the 1960s and ’70s by artists such as George Brecht, Robert Filliou, Ken Friedman, George Maciunas, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, Mieko Shiomi, Ben Vautier, and La Monte Young. Curated by art historian Jacquelynn Baas and organized by Dartmouth College’s Hood Museum of Art, the exhibition draws heavily on the Hood’s George Maciunas Memorial Collection, and includes art objects, documents, videos, event scores, and Fluxkits. Fluxus and the Essential Questions of Life is accompanied by a second installation, Fluxus at NYU: Before and Beyond, in the Grey’s Lower Level Gallery. Fluxus—which began in the 1960s as an international network of artists, composers, and designers―resists categorization as an art movement, collective, or group. It also defies traditional geographical, chronological, and medium-based approaches. Instead, Fluxus participants employ a “do-it-yourself” attitude, relating their activities to everyday life and to viewers’ experiences, often blurring the boundaries between art and life. Offering a fresh look at Fluxus, the show and its installation are George Maciunas, Burglary Fluxkit, 1971. Hood designed to spark multiple interpretations, exploring Museum of Art, Dartmouth College, George Maciunas Memorial Collection: Gift of the Friedman Family; the works’ relationships to key themes of human GM.986.80.164.
