Hi I stared getting interested in Ben this summer
I read his book "Je cherche la v�rit�" [I'm looking for Truth], after I picked it up from the library. It's the only book on anything Fluxus in the whole library system here. I believe they picked it up because it's in French. "Je cherche la v�rit�" is an overview of his career, where his production is analysed / described/ shown under themes and ideas, rather than chronologically. It's a great book. I only knew him as the guy who wrote his paintings. Now I feel like I really know the guy. Of course, I will also have to read his entire website - he says it's got 3000 webpages. I http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/tg/feature/-/153016 is a nice short interview with him [ In French ] in which he says he gave the editors of the book enough material for 2000 pages. Ben - a man of few words ;-) The book is available there as well. I don't know if it exists in English though. http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/2080105922 Have you read any good book lately ?
