Fluxus, Intermedia and . . .

. . . The Something Else Factor

Alison Knowles, Barbara Moore, Martha Wilson, and I will be participating this evening in a panel about the glory days of Something Else Press, moderated by Hannah B. Higgins, at the Emily Harvey Foundation. It’s the first of four discussions organized by Christian Xatrec and Alice Centamore. The events are free. RSVP to ehf.nework@gmail.com

In 1969, several years before I became editor of Something Else Press, the founding publisher Dick Higgins and the German artist Wolf Vostell put together one of SEP’s most attractive and inventive books, the lavishly illustrated Fantastic Architecture. They included my proposal for Carnegie Hall, and I hope that book comes up for discussion.

I have no doubt Alison’s Fluxus piece, “The Identical Lunch,” will come up for discussion. It consisted of “a tunafish sandwich on wheat toast with butter and lettuce, no mayo, and a cup of soup or a glass of milk.”
