Alison Knowles | Retrospective

When Alison Knowles performed with the recently-named Fluxus group in Wiesbaden in September 1962, she was twenty-nine years old. She was a founding member of the collective, performing alongside George Maciunas, Dick Higgins, Nam June Paik, Emmett Williams, Ben Patterson and Wolf Vostell, for fourteen performances over four weekends at the Fluxus International Festival of Music.

Now 90, Knowles is being feted with a retrospective that opens today at the Wiesbaden Museum. The exhibition will look at over sixty years old Knowles work, from the Bean Rolls to the Boat Book, salads to The House of Dust. 

Retrospective runs from the 20th of September, to the 26th of January, 2025.
