FLUXLIST: Athena Tacha

[Ken Friedman]

Dear Megan McDonough,

Athena Tacha was one of the important figures in the development of
site-specific installations that crossed the boundaries of architecture,
landscape, sculpture and conceptual art.

If you want to learn more about her work, I'd suggest checking the art
history indexes such as ArtsBibliography Modern or visiting the online
library services at the Museum of Modern Art or the Getty. There is a large
body of publications and catalogues available.

We were both visiting artists at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio,
and we both did exhibitions there in 1978. I found her a lucid, articulate,
well informed conversationalist. Meeting her was a rewarding experience.
Don't know much about her involvement with mail art, but her other
activities were significant and influential.

FLUXLIST: athena tacha

[m. mcdonough]

hello folks.  i am new to this list and i must say it's proving to be 
interesting.  i write to ask a question.  i feel the urge to write 
parenthetically the most important things.  (have any of you had experience 
with the artist athena tacha?  or experience with her art?  i got an e from 
her today in which she said she was one of the original folks involved in 
mail art.  i'm hoping to intern with her someday and wanted to know as much 
as i could about her before i spend more time corresponding.  thanks)  you 
are all wonderful fish.

romping with the rhinoceri,

megan
