Benjamin Patterson - Sneak Review

"Shake, Break Tear, Crumple, Rumple, Bumple, Rub, Scrub, Twist, Poof, Pop" - these are some of the instructions for the composition PAPER PIECE by Benjamin Patterson - still one of the most frequently performed Fluxus works; here, paper is the instrument that is being crumpled, torn, and pierced. This work and other Fluxus classics helped broaden the notion of art and music, and to overcome boundaries between the artistic genres. Patterson played an important part in the very first European Fluxus festivals in Wiesbaden, Düsseldorf, Wuppertal, and Paris and he is one of the few Fluxus artists that are still very active today. To celebrate and discuss Patterson and his work the BENJAMIN PATTERSON - SNEAK REVIEW was published as a lively portrait of the artist including documentation, essays, new works by Fluxus colleages (Willem de Ridder, Alison Knowles, Jaroslaw Kozlowski, Geoffrey Hendricks, Larry Miller, Tamás St.Turba) and young artists, as well as haptic highlights.
