A close friend and collaborator with Cage, Knowles uses chance operations to extract random fragments from a variety of texts, including her own writings as well as Thoreau's Journal, the I Ching, and other water-related publications. </p><p>This performance will include three simultaneous realizations of the score, with spoken text by Alison Knowles, movement by her daughter Jessica Higgins, and sound by Joshua Selman. Nonsequitur is especially pleased to renew our association with Ms. Knowles, having previously released her only solo CD "<a href="http://www.discogs.com/release/725850">Frijoles Canyon</a>" on our ¿What Next?

Since the 1960s she has been a key participant in Fluxus, along with Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, Joseph Beuys, Dick Higgins, and many other international artists working in/across various disciplines. </p><p>For <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Something_Else_Press">Something Else Press</a> she created "Notations," an anthology of graphic scores co-edited with John Cage, and "Coeurs Volants" with Marcel Duchamp. Other book-related projects have included the "Bean Rolls," a canned book that appeared in The American Century at the Whitney Museum (2000) and "The Big Book" (1967), a walk-in book with 8-foot pages; a second walk-in book, "The Book Of Bean" (1983) appeared in Venice. </p><p>Her "House of Dust" was the first computerized poetry on record, winning her a Guggenheim fellowship. In the 1970s, she was Associate Professor of Art at the newly-born California Institute of the Arts with Alan Kaprow. Since the 1980s she has worked in Italy, Germany, and Japan making multiples, unique pieces, and sound works for radio. Her only commercial solo CD, "Frijoles Canyon," was released by Nonsequitur in 1992 on its ¿What Next? label. </p><p>In 2001, she performed and exhibited her new paper/sound works at the Drawing Center in New York. Her graphic scores were exhibited and performed recently at the Kitchen in NYC, and she will perform at the Guggenheim Museum in 2009. </p><p><span style="font-size:85%;">12-4-07 : Knowles <a href="http://podcasts.thestranger.com/2007/12/invisiblealison_knowles">podcast interview </a>with Jen Graves of The Stranger. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:85%;">Artist web site:<br /></span><a href="http://www.aknowles.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:85%;">http://www.aknowles.com/</span></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">More artist info:<br /></span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alison_Knowles" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:85%;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alison_Knowles</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><a href="http://www.ubu.com/contemp/knowles/index.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:85%;">http://www.ubu.com/contemp/knowles/index.html</span></a> </p><p><span style="font-size:85%;">Interviews:<br /></span><a href="http://jacketmagazine.com/33/knowles-ivby-burnett.shtml" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:85%;">http://jacketmagazine.com/33/knowles-ivby-burnett.shtml</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;"> </span><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://fluxusblog.blogspot.com/2007/09/interview-with-alison-knowles-by-ruud.html" target="_blank">http://fluxusblog.blogspot.com/2007/09/interview-with-alison-knowles-by-ruud.html</a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /></span><a href="http://musicmavericks.publicradio.org/features/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:85%;">http://musicmavericks.publicradio.org/features/</span></a><br /></p>rmuttshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15630142185394016536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312857596117564699.post-45696477090783738402007-11-07T19:30:00.000-08:002008-01-07T11:43:42.575-08:00GOLDEN HANDCUFFS REVIEW READING<div><strong>@ 7:30 PM<br /><br /></strong>Subtext continues its monthly reading series with a special evening to celebrate the Golden Handcuffs Review – Seattle Issue Launch.
