FLUXLIST: Alison Knowles ; Time Samples
Time Samples Artist: Alison Knowles Curator: Caterina Gualco Archivio Emily Harvey San Polo 387, second floor 30125 Venice, Italy Opening: Friday, June 23, 2006, 6:00-8:00 p.m. Until August 5, 2006 Tuesday to Saturday, 5:00-8:00 p.m. Artist and performer Alison Knowles presents new works in paper, entitled Time Samples. The prints of the series A Rake's Progress, shown in the gallery's first room, were made with a twisted garden rake employed like a pencil in wet pulp. Here this rake is displayed on a table. Knowles' new book Time Samples (Granary Books, New York) opens out into a leporello, and here spills down the wall. Book Jacket, a shirt suspended from the ceiling, has the pages of two books embedded in its folds. Two Poets Tee and Emily Harvey's Overalls are similarly displayed. The objects presented in the rear room of the gallery were appropriated in cities and natural settings all around the world, and the artist presents them for examination, one at time, to be held in the hand. Small tags offer clues to their identity. Curator Caterina Gualco writes: You make me see things I was not able to see before, and that is the mystery of poetry. Knowles is a founding member of the Fluxus group and a Guggenheim fellow. She has received awards from the New York State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as a residency grant from Germany's DAAD. She has also resided in Kassel as a guest of Documenta. In 2003, she received the College Art Association Award for Lifetime Achievement, as well as an honorary doctorate from the Maine College of Art.

Dear All who wrote I have your questions for Alison, it's just that we have been very busy and there hasn't really been a good moment to sit down and look at them properly. I haven't forgotten! We will be performing at the Museo Fortuny on June 15. I'll try and make any photos etc available (if anyone's interested). I mentioned the idea of perhaps corresponding direct with the list and she seemed quite up for it - but we were full of cheap red wine... Emmett Wiliams was only in town for a couple of days as they were off to Verona to see Francesco Conz - who's publishing a new book of Ann Noel's. But I guess we could do it long distance.

Her Proposition #1 and Giveaway Construction are two of my favorite event scores, but I gather the show at EHG is collage works.

FLUXLIST: Alison Knowles Opens Oct 5, 6-8pm
Emily Harvey GalleryPress Release 537 Broadway at Spring New York, NY 10012 September 16, 2000 Tel. 212 925-7651 Fax 212 966-0439 Alison Knowles: Footnotes objects, prints, illuminations, and exploded page works from the travel journal, Footnotes, published by Granary Books, New York City, 2000. October 5 through October 28, 2000 Tues-Sat, 11:00 - 6:00 Reception for artist: Thurs. Oct.5th, 6:00-8:00 Emily Harvey Gallery will present Footnotes, an exhibition of new work by Fluxus artist Alison Knowles. This body of work reveals a range of innovations through combinations of objects, texts and unusual art materials. Conceived as an environment, the different components of the exhibit are based upon experiments regarding the nature of the page and the meaning of what a book can be. The pieces reflect Knowles' instinct to note everyday events and continually re-examine those experiences, regardless of chronology and linear thinking. Her work is faithful to life experience and the nature of the materials. Large panels extending from the ceiling and walls are page like in their structure, containing various embedded elements and incorporating projections on a grand scale. Some pieces may be explored by gallery visitors through touch. Silkscreen and Palladium prints, as well as cyanotype reflect Knowles' mastery of printmaking. The impetus for "Footnotes" is a lifelong continua of global travel, from which the artist has literally "picked up" things and created annotated journals. The concept of footnotes therefore is a means of referencing and reorganizing those travels, transferring the literary device into visual forms. Well-known for her experimental performances and installations from the early 60s in association with Fluxus movement, and by her affiliation with Something Else Press, Knowles has continually investigated the form and content of books. Examples of her previous works include the monumentally scaled Big Book from l967 and a "walk-in" object The Book of Bean from l983 which was exhibited in the Venice Biennale in l990. In coordination with the exhibition, Granary Books is publishing Knowles's book Footnotes: Collage Journal, 30 Years, incorporating many of the elements of the exhibition but in a different form. There are actual footnotes by the artist here. Copies are available for sale at the gallery. -- Emily Harvey S.

Re: FLUXLIST: alison knowles
this book from Granary arrived on my doorstep today --- Footnotes: collage journal 30 years Patricia -- it fits in so well to the idea of the time pieces! torn from 5x7 notebooks and taped onto a larger page, the tape itself now "highlighted" one way or the other as arranged, "an artistic artifice as well as an homage to Diter Rot and his SEP book 246 Little Clouds" everyother page has one of these notebook pages, with facing page/text of poetic notations, sometimes quite minimalist or sounding like mini scores for performance the pieces have the quick at-the-scene feel of Dave Baptiste Chirot's pages for the fluxlist timepiece, giving the sense that almost you are watching thoughts/impressions as they appear blur and disappear, ideas nearly wiggling as they become visual in pencilled scribbles, mind in action introduction by JRothenberg is good, ending with AK quote "It is important to remember that we are free to make art and poetry out of anything: a loaf of bread, some beans, a hasty jotting on the train." I ordered the Footnotes not having seen a page, just so hopeful that it'd touch my obsessions with calendars/days/collage/found poetry and I love it. I'm sorry I can't do a more appropriately articulate review - now I have to go spend some time with this book! NBB
Re: FLUXLIST: alison knowles
NB, An erudite and visual review it is - well done!!! In fact, so compelling a review, I have just interrupted this post to whip out the well rubbed Visa card and order it. Add to your timepiece reference the fact that I have been collecting feet fotos for a feetsheet, and, voila - kismet - karma. Whatever. Also, I am admittedly an Alison Knowles groupie. On the timepiece reference, Count Vladimir de Mews Russian Blue has chosen Roger "Radio" Stevens as the next victim, and I shall begin manipulation on him this very weekend. I mean, embellishments to his visage (she said, chortling and rubbing her hands with glee).

To All: Catching up on reading here after, yes, weeks of busyness, trying to *sell* art, hahahahaha (I almost deleted that inbetweengiggle/bellylaugh because of the purported seriousness of fluxlist (that would be the hahahaha, to provide definition) oh and the roots of the message (sell), but whatthehell, I laugh, therefore Iyam, I try to sell, therefore I eat [dem yams]) yet I digress, back to the aforementioned reading: - for one, Judith Hoffberg's "Umbrella" for September, 2000, under "Artists Book Reviews" I find that a book, "Footnotes: Collage Journal 30 Years" accompanies an exhibition at Emily Harvey Gallery in New York for Alison Knowles opening on 5 October, 2000. Maybe, maybe, Allen Bukoff will attend this event and provide visuals of the opening? And verbal stuff and things?

FLUXLIST: Alison Knowles Performing Gif
Hi all, I just rediscovered the jpegs I had of my digital photos of Alison Knowles' performance at Leicester at the Fluxus Symposium last year. I had previously been wary of putting these up as an animated gif because of the large file size (544k) which due to the relatively low quality of the original images could not be reduced. Basically download on a 33.6k modem takes about 2 minutes obviously much faster on 56k, isdn, T1/Lan etc. Anyway if you're interested I've put the gif up at the Eye Zone http://www.artden.freeserve.co.uk/izone/fluxuseyezone.html enjoy, Sol.
