The Eve of Fluxus is as unusual a memoir as the period in art around which
it revolves—the vibrant, art-changing 1960s and 1970s. In it, author Billie Maciunas provides detailed insights into her life with George Maciunas, founder of the avant-garde artists’ group Fluxus and “father of Soho.”
Maciunas includes acute observations and memories of the artists who moved in an out of the Fluxus group during George’s lifetime. In this special book, you’ll come to know a little more about Alison Knowles, Nam June Paik, Mieko Shiomi, Louise Bourgeois, Yoko Ono, Jonas Mekas, and others.
Both a poignant love story and an invaluable historical record, The Eve of Fluxus is also the first nationally published “Fluxmemoir.” Included is a special section showcasing the poetry of this multi-talented writer.
