Performance Research has released a free digital edition of the long
unavailable Fluxus Performance Workbook, a collection of short
performance works and event scores by over forty artists.
The first examples of what were to become Fluxus event scores date
back to John Cage's famous class at The New School where artists such
as George Brecht, Al Hansen, Allan Kaprow, and Alison Knowles began
to create art works and performances in musical form. One of these
forms was the event. Events tend to be scored in brief verbal notes
known as event scores. In a general sense, they are proposals,
propositions, and instructions for different kinds of actions.
To accompany a special Fluxus issue of Performance Research, Ken
Friedman, Owen Smith, and Lauren Sawchyn edited a fortieth
anniversary edition of the Fluxus Performance Workbook. The workbook
is now available in a free electronic edition. This book can be
viewed on-line or downloaded. The download is a .pdf file that can
also be printed.
This expanded and updated edition of the Workbook contains scores by
George Brecht, Jean Dupuy, Dick Higgins, Joe Jones, Bengt af
Klintberg, Milan Knizak, George Maciunas, Larry Miller, Nam June
Paik, Mieko Shiomi, Robert Watts, and many more.
