In my head, when I first saw this book cover, I was hoping that "Fluxus Experience" would be more of a memoir by Hannah Higgins, the daughter of Dick Higgins and Alison Knowles, two important post-war artists. This is not the case. It's pretty much an academically driven study on Fluxus and their publications and some of their performances. Also a critique of the educational world that surrounds the subject matter of Fluxus. So, yes I was disappointed that it wasn't a memoir because-because I'm writing a memoir dealing with me as a child and being raised by an artist and artistic family, I wanted to read something of that subject. And roughly the years match up with mine. But no law says a child of an art couple associated with Fluxus cannot write a serious book on Fluxus. As an introduction to Fluxus, the book is perfectly fine. But it does read like an academic paper, and since it is published by a University Press, that makes perfect sense. The book is beautifully designed, with fascinating black and white images of both the works of art as well as the artists performing their works. The book reads like an introduction to a catalog to an exhibition. I would like to see that show.

"Paintings & Drawings (1961), la primera exposición individual de Yoko Ono en Nueva York y la última celebrada en AG Gallery, tuvo un efecto especial. Cuando Maciunas invitó a Ono, le indicó que la exposición solo podía suceder durante el día porque les habían cortado el suministro eléctrico. Esta contingencia amplió el campo de observación y convirtió cada lienzo en un soporte de las variaciones de luz y sombra proyectadas desde exterior. Pero no fue el único cambio que las obras experimentaron; cada una de las pinturas estaba acompañada de un texto que explicaba su función y podía ser completada por quienes visitaran la exposición. Los textos escritos por Toshi Ichiyanagi a pedido de Ono, quien en un principio se ocupó de narrar a los visitantes los procesos, inducían a una acción: "Pintura para ser pisada" o "Pintura para ser prendida fuego". Jon Hendricks sintetiza así el procedimiento desarrollado por Maciunas a partir de este tipo de "partituras textuales", practicadas inicialmente por artistas como John Cage o George Brecht: "Un artista le comunicaba una idea, él interpretaba su contenido, y a continuación producía una edición de la pieza en forma de objeto de arte barato, repetible y producible en masa, socavando de tal modo, según él, la preciosidad del arte" Fluxus escritos. Actos textuales antes y después de Fluxus (2019)
