Good books on fluxus/surrealism/dada

someone ans this:

Art criticism

any fluxus fans out there? how do they see the fluxus films in relation to the rest of the noo york avant-garde? ie mekas/sitney! and warhol.

Are there any good internet resources with a concise history of the Fluxus movement? Not wikipedia...

Try Ubuweb or the Fluxus Portal. The former should be on everyone's bookmarks, seriously, it's the best avant-garde resource on the web.

Well familiar with Ubuweb, and I totally agree with your statement. You could quite easily spend a good portion of a lifetime there.

My alma mater Rutgers was instrumental in fluxus (woot). There was a pretty cool retrospective at the school's gallery the last year I was there. Our other claims to fame were James Gandolfini, Ally McBeal, Milton Friedman, some Star Trek dude and greasy-ass sandwiches.

Thanks! How do I correctly credit you in my footnotes!? (Chicago style pls)

Hannah Higgins (daughter of Dick Higgins and Alison Knowles) is a great art historian, teacher, and Fluxus scholar. Her book:

Screening:

* saccharin test for mucociliary clearance(1)
o small amount of saccharin (1-2 mm) placed in inferior nasal turbinate 1 cm from anterior border
o patient sits with head bent forward
o test is completed when patient tastes saccharin
o if test > 1 hour or patient unable to taste saccharin, mucociliary clearance is considered impaired
o alternative test uses dye marker instead of saccharin

Not sure where else to post these as there's no Dieter Roth thread.
