Inhaltsangabe

Cultural Writing. Intermedia Poetics. This classic of alternative art theory is available again in its second edition. Dick Higgins was co-founder of Happenings and later Fluxus. He was active in music, studying with John Cage and Henry Cowell and is the author of many books of poetry including BUSTER KEATON ENTERS INTO PARADISE (Left Hand) and BOOK ABOUT LOVE AND DEATH (Something Else). From his early (1964) essay on "Intermedia," which gave the term to the language, up through his influential essay on the concept of an "allusive referential," the impulse of his work was to describe rather than to perscribe. These essays will continue to offer tools for rising generations of artists, writers and critics, reconvening art thinking beyond the border-guarded zones of traditional scholarship. A DIALECTIC OF CENTURIES is a book to work with in the new century.
