Aspen Magazine – Art/Information/Science (#8)

Aspen Magazine – Art/Information/Science (#8)
New York City, USA: Aspen Communications Inc., 1970
28.5 x 28.5 cm
Edition size unknown


Aspen magazine was a multimedia periodical published by Phyllis Johnson, who described it as "the first three-dimensional magazine.” 

Contained in a customized cardboard box or folder, an issue of Aspen may have included booklets, posters, postcards, flexidisc records or films on Super8 reels. 

Aspen #8 is often referred to as “The Fluxus Issue”, presumably because George Maciunas was responsible for the design. However, other than Maciunas, the only artists involved with the publication who were active in Fluxus were Jackson MacLow and La Monte Young, who contributed the recordings on the flexi-disc. MacLow’s Young Turtle Assymetries, chance-generated poems for five simultaneous readers, was the A-side, backed with Young’s Drift Study 31 1 69.

The folder also included a poster version of Ed Ruscha’s Thirty-four Parking Lots, a text by Robert Smithson, and scores by Eleanor & David Antin, Philip Glass and Steve Reich. Other featured artists included Dennis Oppenheim, Richard Serra, Robert Morris, and Yvonne Rainer.


"This issue where artists have conceived and (in part) designed their contributions as pieces and part of a larger schema may aid in redefining the magazine's place in (and as) art in (and as participant in), the larger world. It suggests further scope and proposals.”
