Poesie et cetera americaine. Biennale internationale des jeunes artistes.

Paris.: n.p., 1963. Original printed wrappers, stapled.. (20 x 20 cm).. pp. (28). Catalogue for one of the earliest Fluxus events, organised by Radio Télévision Française under the direction of Jean Tardieu, and the ""Domaine Poétique"" competition represented by Jean-Clarence Lambert and Jean-Loup Philippe. The event, a biennial for young artists in Paris, was held at the Musée d’art moderne de la ville de Paris, on the evening of the 9th October 1963. Included the participations of George Brecht, Terry Brown, Al Hansen, Dick Higgins, Pat Keene, Alison Knowles, George Maciunas, Jackson Mac Low, Simone Morris, Benjamin Patterson, Terry Riley, Robert Watts, Emmett Williams, and La Monte Young. Alison Knowles’s Shuffling Piece (for audience) and Simone Forti’s Instructions pour une danse were just two of seven compositions performed simultaneously at the event. In the list of participants in the back of the program, les spectateurs (the spectators) were included along with the roster of artists. This copy seems to lack the additional loose leaf with the Terry Riley ‘For Ear Piece’ score. [Ref. Fluxus etc. - The Gilbert and Lila Silverman Collection, no. 633].
