Description

The concept of switching motors between a fan and a clock was conceived by American intermedia artist Larry Miller around 1973-74. He shared the concept/score of “Very Fast Clock and Very Slow Fan” with Fluxus producer and publisher George Maciunas, who created around 1975 a version specifically for the house of collector Jean Brown. In this episode of Radio Fluxus conservator, researcher, and writer Rachel Rivenc examines the Miller/Maciunas version of the work acquired by the Getty Research Institute archives as part of the study collection Jean Brown papers 1916-1995. The story guides the audience through the process of discovering, researching, and preparing the work for the exhibition “Fluxus Means Change: Jean Brown's Avant-Garde Archive” at the GRI Gallery. More information about the episode, the piece, the artists and the guest is available on the episode's website.
