Peter Moore: Photographer of the New York Avant-Garde 1960s-1970s
Carl Solway Gallery presents an archive of Fluxus performances by American photographer Peter Moore for Cincinnati鈥檚 2018 Open Archive FotoFocus Biennial. It will include vintage gelatin silver print photographs by Peter Moore and a selection of original Fluxus works by artists including: Yoko Ono, Charlotte Moorman, Ben Patterson, Emmett Williams, Larry Miller, Al Hansen, Alison Knowles, John Cage, Daniel Spoerri, Jiri Kolar, Robert Watts, and Shigeko Kubota.
Peter Moore鈥檚 extensive photo documentation included Fluxus events and the landmark 1960s Judson Dance Theater performances that are now being re-visited and exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. Fluxus artists did not agree with the authority of museums to determine the value of art, nor did they believe that one must be educated to view and understand a piece of art. Fluxus not only wanted art to be available to the masses, they also wanted everyone to produce art all the time. This exhibition of photographs focuses on the radical performances of Korean American artist Nam June Paik and his collaborator, musician Charlotte Moorman. Paik, regarded as the father of video art, created a bra and a cello made of TV sets for Charlotte to wear during her performances. Charlotte Moorman was also the organizer of the New York Avant-Garde festivals that occurred between the years 1963 to 1980.
