Scope and Contents

This exhibition of silkscreen, cloth multiples published by Francisco Conz was curated by Wayne Baerwaldt. It demonstrated several Fluxus conceptions: sharing ideas between artists, a publisher and the public; capturing the ephemeral in Fluxus productions; exposing the ideas of original works which would otherwise remain hidden in private collections. The silkscreen print editions on cloth offer the viewer the opportunity to investigate the contentious nature of Fluxus oriented art. "The editions of large-scale drawings, texts, musical scores, collages, and appropriated images are retouched, or redrawn directly on the silk-screens by the artists, reinforcing what we already know about intermedia, the myriad combinations of literary prose and/or concrete poetry; music and/or sound; theatre and/or performance." The Sackner Archive holds several cloth works by fluxus artists, Lettrists, and concrete poets published by Conz. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
