SOMMERUDSTILLINGEN 63. 1963. FLUXUS FESTIVAL.

Copenhagen:  Sommerudstillingen, 1963

24 x 19cm, 8pp. Programme for the week of events which notes a concert by John Cage and David Tudor as the main concert – with a Fluxus action evening two days later consisting of performances from Eric Andersen, Henning Christiansen (2), Dich (sic) Higgins and John Davidsen. And the day after more by Andersen. On the 12 June 1963 – there was a “Co-ritus Koncert” by Jens Jorgen Thorsen with help by Jorgen Nas and Allan Hardy Strid. And on the final night – “Fluxus – aften” by Arthur Kopcke, John Davidsen, Henning Christiansen, Eric Andersen. An exhibition of art works by various artists are also listed with prices.

An interesting very early coming together of Danish experimental artists who are usually more closely aligned with CoBra and the Situationists and with Fluxus participants.

Both items are in VG+ condition although the front cover of the programme has a browning across the front top sheet (see photograph).
