Road Shows, Street Events, and Fluxus People; A Conversation with Alison Knowles

Abstract

The discussion recounts the point in time when the Fluxus community first became self-consciously aware of itself during the early European concert tours and provides insights into the identification of criteria by which aspects of European and American Fluxus performances can be delineated. In addition, topics addressed include the use of change procedure by members of the group, their debts to John Cage and the relationship between the composer/performer of Fluxus event works and his or her audience.
