The Four Suits, 1965

 Item
Identifier: CC-27300-27864
Scope and Contents

The title of this book as described by Dick Higgins refers to the four authors of this book who are each identified in the introductions pages to their section by a suite of playing cards, e.g., clubs, hearts, diamonds and spades. Thus, what they have in common is that 1) each is essentially not operating in a media for which they were trained, 2) each is really operating in a medium or mode of activity of their own devising, which 3) lies somewhere between the conventional concept of the seven arts. The name Ben Patterson is used in this citation rather than Benjamin Patterson since all other references in this database refer to Ben not Benjamin Patterson. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

 Item — Box 328: [Barcode: 31858072490927]
Identifier: CC-52791-73928
Scope and Contents Wikepedia: "In Greek mythology, maenads were the female followers of Dionysus (Bacchus in the Roman pantheon), the most significant members of the Thiasus, the god's retinue. Their name literally translates as "raving ones". Often the maenads were portrayed as inspired by him into a state of ecstatic frenzy, through a combination of dancing and drunken intoxication. In this state, they would lose all self-control, begin shouting excitedly, engage in uncontrolled sexual behavior, and ritualistically hunt down and tear to pieces animals "” and, in myth at least, sometimes men and children "” devouring the raw flesh. During these rites, the maenads would dress in fawn skins and carry a thyrsus, a long stick wrapped in ivy or vine leaves and tipped by a cluster of leaves; they would weave ivy-wreaths around their heads, and often handle or wear snakes." According to the Basinski's inscription on the verso of the drawing, "the Maenads had ladder like tattoes groves on their arms And I...

The Printed Performance: Brian Lane Works 1966-99 , 2001

 Item
Identifier: CC-54359-643247
Scope and Contents Stored in box with Gallery Number Ten publications.Internet: Brian Lane's unique contribution to small-press publishing began in the mid 1960s at Gallery Number Ten in Blackheath, South East London. This was one of the first artists' spaces in Britain, and alongside its programme of exhibitions and events, there emerged a growing list of publications with poets and artists. In the late 1970s Lane issued many of his distilled performances in print and in the mid-1980s he worked extensively on the seminal exhibition The Artist Publisher and accompanying catalogue. Throughout all his work, there is the sense of a printed score to be performed, from the earlier days of experimental music through improvisations on small letterpress printing machines, to the use of photocopier and rubber stamp. This illustrated primer includes an extensive bibliography by John Janssen of all Brian Lane's published works, now held in the Tate Gallery Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth...
