This is the first substantial English-language overview on the legendary '60s Fluxus artist and poet Robert Filliou (1926-87). With illustrations of nearly 192 works, it also features the transcript of an extensive conversation between Filliou and the Brussels-based art critic Irmeline Lebeer, recorded on seven cassette tapes in August 1976 in Flayosc in southern France. This conversation is structured as an abécédaire and touches on a variety of topics pertaining to Filliou's art and thinking, from amitié (friendship) to zen. This conversation was intended to form the backbone of an extensive monograph but was never published--until now. Robert Filliou: The Secret of Permanent Creationilluminates the mind and the practice of this massively underpublished artist, whose influence on subsequent generations has been both clandestine and colossal.

Portrait d'un artiste-inventeur, qui produisit une oeuvre ambitionnant d'abolir les frontières entre l'art et la vie. R. Filliou (1926-1987) développa une activité de poète, considérant que le langage et les mots constituent le matériau premier de l'artiste. Il créa dans les années 1960 une boutique de création permanente produisant objets et poésies visuelles.
This groundbreaking examination of the intersection between artistic practice and capitalism in the 1960s explores art's capacity to reflect on and reimagine economic systems and our place within them.

Avec la volonté de rendre hommage à Robert Filliou, qui a créé la Galerie Légitime en 1962, Raphael Cuir a conçu une exposition d'inspiration nomade, facile à transporter : jouant sur les mots, il la conçoit dans un chapeau : du couvre-chef au couvre-chef(s)-d'oeuvre(s). La première édition a lieu en janvier 1962, Filliou y montre ses oeuvres, puis en juillet 1962 il y expose Benjamin Patterson. Le 22 octobre 1962, lors de la Misfits Fair, la Galerie Légitime se déplace à Londres dans un chapeau melon avec des oeuvres de Robert Filliou, Ben, Emmett Williams, Robin Page, Addi Köpcke, Daniel Spoerri. Un projet fondé sur deux notions principales : celle d'échelle réduite et cel...
This book is about the collaborative work by four artists associated with the FLUXUS and Nouveau Réalisme movements.
The original edition of this ambitious reference was published in hardcover in 1998, in two oversize volumes (10x13"). This edition combines the two volumes into one; it's paperbound ("flexi-cover"--the paper has a plastic coating), smaller (8x10", and affordable for art book buyers with shallower pockets--none of whom should pass it by. The scope is encyclopedic: half the work (originally the first volume) is devoted to painting; the other half to sculpture, new media, and photography. Chapters are arranged thematically, and each page displays several examples (in color) of work under discussion. The final section, a lexicon of artists, includes a small bandw photo of each artist, as well as biographical information and details of work, writings, and exhibitions. Ruhrberg and the three other authors are veteran art historians, curators, and writers, as is editor Walther. c. Book News Inc.
The long-awaited history of the art college that became an unlikely epicenter of the art world in the 1960s and 1970s. How did a small art college in Nova Scotia become the epicenter of art education—and to a large extent of the postmimimalist and conceptual art world itself—in the 1960s and 1970s? Like the unorthodox experiments and rich human resources that made Black Mountain College an improbable center of art a generation earlier, the activities and artists at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (aka NSCAD) in the 1970s redefined the means and methods of art education and the shape of art far beyond Halifax. A partial list of visiting artists and faculty members at NSCAD would inc...
