Event Scores
"Event Scores, involve simple actions, ideas, and objects from everyday life recontexualized as performance. Event Scores are texts that can be seen as proposal pieces or instructions for actions. The idea of the score suggests musicality. Like a musical score, Event Scores can be realized by artists other than the original creator and are open to variation and interpretation."--Artist's website
Womens Work
In 1975, Alison Knowles (born 1933), founding member of Fluxus, and experimental composer Annea Lockwood (born 1939) co-edited and self-published Womens Work, a magazine of text-based and instructional scores written by women primarily for music and dance performance. The magazine appeared in two issues between 1975 and 1978. This superb facsimile edition, comprising a book and poster housed in a printed folder, gathers the work from both issues, by artists Beth Anderson, Ruth Anderson, Jackie Apple, Barbara Benary, Sari Dienes, Bici Forbes, Simone Forti, Wendy Greenberg, Heidi Von Gunden, Françoise Janicot, Christina Kubisch, Carol Law, Mary Lucier, Lisa Mikulchik, Pauline Oliveros, Takako Saito, Carolee Schneemann, Mieko Shiomi, Elaine Summers, Carole Weber, Ann Williams, Julie Winter and Marilyn Wood. This is an important reissue, collecting as it does works in a field whose "classics" are typically confined to male-dominated publications.

Bread and Water
"Looking at the cracks in homemade bread, Alison Knowles noticed their resemblance to rivers. Using atlases, she matched each pattern to a river. Bread and Water reproduces in halftone all seventeen palladium prints Knowles processed from xeroxed images of the breads. These prints combine a river image with literary passages and text fragments from books containing geographical and ecological information. Knowles took an acetate sheet and the print ... and traced the river, the bread's circular edge and the jagged line where the print ends on the paper. She then wrote the poems in this book, placing her template over pages of source material and lifting words and phrases [which] the drawing's lines passed through."--Page 4 of cover

By Alison Knowles
American artist Alison Knowles is best known as a co-founder of Fluxus, the avant-garde group founded in 1962. Knowles's groundbreaking experiments--from painting and printmaking to sculpture and installation, sound works, poetry, and artist's books--have influenced contemporary art and artists for more than fifty years. The first comprehensive exhibition of her significant but underexamined body of work, by Alison Knowles: A Retrospective (1960-2022) will bring greater attention to all facets of the artist's oeuvre, presenting more than two hundred objects that span the entire breadth of her still-active career, from her intermedia works of the 1960s to forms of participatory and relational...
