Book Synopsis


Trade Review
An artful orchestration...wholly appropriate to the spirit of Fluxus. * AIGA *
By Alison Knowles smartly pushes the exhibition catalogue towards the form of artists’ book, a fitting push for the work of such a seminal figure in the field. -- Megan N. Liberty * Brooklyn Rail *
Though technically monographic, 'by Alison Knowles' necessarily convenes an entire Fluxus ensemble. Isolating Knowles from Higgins, Williams, George Brecht, Philip Corner, Shigeko Kubota, George Maciunas, Benjamin Patterson, Nam June Paik, Takako Saito, Mieko Shiomi, and the omnipresent John Cage is like extracting the glue from a collage. In my experience, the best Fluxus exhibitions avoid grasping at epistemologically slippery questions about what Fluxus was and instead explore what Fluxus can still do. -- Colby Chamberlain * Artforum *
