The Nile on eBay   FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE   Intermedia, Fluxus and the Something Else Press - Selected Writings by Dick Higgins by Dick Higgins, Steve Clay, Ken Friedman, Hannah Higgins Dick Higgins and his Something Else Press epitomized the riotous art of the '60sThere are few art-world figures as influential—and as little known—as Dick Higgins (1938–98), cofounder of Fluxus, "polyartist," poet, scholar, theorist, composer, performer and, not least, the publisher of the legendary Something Else Press. In 1965 he restored the term "intermedia" to the English language, giving it new dimension to recognize the dissolution of boundaries between traditional modes of art-making and the open field for new forms that cannot be compartmentalized. His own contributions to intermedia are many—as a participant and instigator of happenings, as writer and composer straddling traditional and vanguard forms, among others—but it was Something Else Press (1963–74) that redefined how "the book" could inhabit that energized, in-between space.Something Else Press was as much a critical statement and radical experiment as it was a collection of books by some of the most luminary artists and writers of the 20th century: Gertrude Stein, John Cage, Ray Johnson, Dieter Roth, Bern Porter, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Emmett Williams, Robert Filliou, and George Brecht, among many others. Along with his Great Bear Pamphlet series and the Something Else newsletter, Higgins exploited and subverted conventional book production and marketing strategies to get unconventional and avant-garde works into the hands of new and often unsuspecting readers.Edited by Granary Books publisher Steve Clay and Fluxus artist Ken Friedman, this judiciously curated and indispensable compendium of essays, theoretical writings and narrative prose dives deep into the ever-influential ideas that Higgins explored in theory and practice. Clay and Friedman have chosen works that illuminate Higgins' voracious intellectual appetite, encyclopedic body of knowledge and playful yet rigorous experimentation in a selection that includes many writings long out of print or difficult to find. FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Review It's an unruly guide to publishing and preserving one's cultural present. -- Brian Dillon * Bookforum *Apart from its value in making several had-to-find essays available, this volume imparts a nuanced sense of a man who not only styled himself an avant-garde philosophe (not unlike his teacher John Cage) but also made a sustained and messy effort to create a worldly space for a certain kind of art, performance, and writing—and life. -- James Gibbons * Hyperallergic *An intoxicating, multifaceted bouquet of various genres of Higgins's writing, the anthology highlights the artist's role as participant-historian in numerous early postmodern currents across the visual arts, literature, music, theater, and dance. -- Natilee Harren * Artforum *Essential reading for any young artist who is ready to strike out into something new, something else. -- Michael Galbreth * Glasstire *A provocative firsthand account delving into the importance of artist collectives, the making of hybrid art forms, and the trials of independent publishing. * Kirkus *This volume contains a wealth of primary source texts which attest to Higgins's ability to put words to the swirling cacophony of postwar art. -- Jennie Waldow * The Brooklyn Rail * Long Description Dick Higgins and his Something Else Press epitomized the riotous art of the '60s There are few art-world figures as influential--and as little known--as Dick Higgins (1938-98), cofounder of Fluxus, "polyartist," poet, scholar, theorist, composer, performer and, not least, the publisher of the legendary Something Else Press.
