Despite his repeated declarations that he was not a part of George Maciunas's self-declared movement, my father's involve- ment in the first Fluxus book left him irrevocably tangled in it. I myself seem to have been influenced by my father's experimental, algorithmic approach to poetry, and ended up a computational astrophysicist, studying how stars form out of the chaotic, turbulent interstellar gas. I think there was some hope that with this background I might explain the true, or correct, meaning of the term "critical mass." Unfortunately, as a scientist, I have no special access to truth, and correctness depends entirely on con- text. Let me explain this a bit before discussing the term "critical mass" itself. Science is often taught as if it consisted of a series of true facts, strung together with a narrative of how these facts were discovered. The actual practice of sci- ence, however, requires the assumption that nothing is guaranteed to be true except as, and only so far as, it can be confirmed by empirical evidence.

  • Invisible City: Philadelphia and the Vernacular Avant-Garde NOTES on the UNDERGROUND
    INVISIBLE CITY Philadelphia and the Vernacular Avant-garde Invisible City: Philadelphia and the Vernacular Avant-garde NOTES ON THE UNDERGROUND 252 Sid Sachs 253 Invisible City: Philadelphia and the Vernacular Avant-garde Notes on the Underground Sid Sachs In the mid-twentieth century, Philadelphia was a publishing center, its populism epito- mized by Curtis Publishing Company’s The Saturday Evening Post and Ladies Home Journal and Walter Annenberg’s TV Guide and Seventeen. The everyday American worldview—the Norman Rockwell and N.C. Wyeth versions of America—originated from these publishers. These were not aristocratic visions but, rather, the iconography of popular culture (as defined by sociologist Herbert Gans).1 In addition to Annenberg’s Triangle Publications and Curtis, Philadelphia was home to J.B. Lippincott, smaller specialty publishers such as Chilton and Cypher Press, and many others.2 Over these years, Philadelphia culture produced artifacts variously affiliated with the Beat writers, pulp fiction, experimental poetry, popular music, and a proto-punk ethos. Indeed, Philadelphia encompassed many worlds, from the Ivy League University of Pennsylvania and its elite Quaker satellite schools to Philip Barry’s patrician Tracey Lords; it brooked an even darker proletarian underworld. David Lynch noticed this chthonic condition during his Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) years in the late 1960s and Sun Ra decried the city, saying, “To save the planet, I had to go to the worst spot on Earth, and that was Philadelphia, which is death’s headquarters.”3 That sinister underbelly was best illustrated by David Goodis, an important pulp-fiction writer.

  • Fantastic Architecture: Vostell, Fluxus, and the Built Environment
    Fantastic Architecture: Vostell, Fluxus, and the Built Environment January 22 – March 17, 2017 Gallery Guide Taking its title and inspiration from the seminal publication Fantastic Architecture (1970), edited by Wolf Vostell and Dick Higgins and published by Something Else Press, this exhibition presents various approaches to architecture, urban space, and the built environment within an international community of artists associated with Fluxus and conceptual art in the 1960s and 1970s. Fantastic Architecture is presented in conjunction with the re-siting, following a major conservation treatment, of Wolf Vostell’s Concrete Traffic (1970), a monumental event-sculpture in the University of Chicago’s Campus Art Collection. The exhibition contextualizes Concrete Traffic in relation to Vostell’s other related works from the period, including photomontage proposals for alterations to architectural and urban spaces and event scores for happenings intended for specific cities, as well as the work of his artistic peers and interlocutors. In Europe and the United States alike, the postwar period saw massive transformations of the urban landscape, the construction and expansion of freeway systems, and the rise of automobile culture, and artists of the time responded to these developments in a variety of ways. Like its eponymous exemplar, the exhibition embraces the porousness and intellectual foment of the experimental art world of the time, a context in which forms and concepts circulated among an international community of artists. Curated by Jacob Proctor Major support for this exhibition is provided by the Brenda M. Shapiro Fund for Arts, Media, and Environment, with additional support from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts.

  • Cynthia Carlson Audio Transcript Invisible City
    Cynthia Carlson Audio Transcript Invisible City Sid: Today is July 22, 2015 and we're conducting an interview in New York at Cynthia Carlson's loft for the project Invisible City: Philadelphia and the Vernacular Avant- Garde funded by PEW Charitable Trusts for Arts and Heritage. I am going to ask you a series of questions. Cynthia: Okay. S: You were born in Chicago? C: Right. S: What did your parents do? C: My father was a laborer. He came from Sweden and he did a number of things. He was a farmer and a laborer. He ended up working for Western Electric on the night shift making a particular screw for the telephone for 25 years. My mother was a housewife who occasionally cleaned our dentist's office until he committed suicide. S: So did you have art in the house? C: No. S: What was your first art experience? C: There was a painting in our church which I thought was pretty amazing. It was Jesus walking on the water. It was a real painting and I have never seen a real painting before. I was pretty amazed by that. Outside of that I suppose it was comic books. But it wasn't until I was a little older that I started taking some classes at the Art Institute. They were like little scholarships for grade and high school kids. S: You went to the Art Institute of Chicago? C: I went to school there. S: You went there is the 1960s, what was it like then? C: It was a very lively time because that was the time that the Hairy Who people, they weren't the Hairy Who then, but Jim Nutt and Gladys Nilson, although they were not in my immediate circle, I was very good friends with Art Green.
