Hello unto you.

To all my friends and fellow wizards with whom I’ve conferred and hobnobbed over this past year about life, art, death and everything below and to the left of it: thank you for making 2008 a vastly less inferior year, despite the ongoing brutality of tact, beige behaviors and people who just flat out gave in / up / out (circle one or more). My very best to you for a deeply contemplative and repeatedly peaceful holiday season – belief or disbelief notwithstanding.

Oh, and if anyone knows how to contact Ben Gilbert, operator of the ancient Zabriskie Point record label, I’d appreciate it.

S. Clay Wilson Suffers “Severe Brain Injury”
Posted by Steve Duin, The Oregonian November 09, 2008 13:23PM

“S. Clay Wilson, one of the seminal figures in the underground comix movement, suffered a “severe brain injury” last weekend, according to his partner, Lorraine Chamberlain, although no one is yet certain what caused those injuries. “I just talked to the neurologist a few minutes ago,” Chamberlain said early Sunday afternoon. “He’s in a decline because of the pneumonia. They can’t seem to stabilize him.” Chamberlain — Wilson’s partner of the last eight years (“though,” she added, “we’ve been flirting with each other for 40”) — said authorities in San Francisco originally believed that Wilson was mugged on his way home from a fairly heavy drinking binge. But Chamberlain now believes “it may be that he fell so many times” on the short walk home: “That’s what we think now, that he fell several times and hit his head,” Chamberlain said. “He has a fractured orbital bone in his eye and he fractured his neck. He looks like he’s been kicked in the face and beaten up. But if he’d been beaten up, he would have been robbed. There’s no way to know. But he had way too much to drink.”

Wilson, 67, arrived in San Francisco from Kansas in 1968, even as covers for Zap Comix were running off the press at Charles Plymell’s print shop on Post Street. Later that night, Wilson told Patrick Rosenkranz in Rebel Visions, he was showing his portfolio to R. Crumb. “I was just completely blitzkrieged by the guy,” Crumb said. “I’d never seen anything like those drawings of his before.” Wilson’s unapologetic approach to art, particularly in his depictions of sex and violence, has long been credited for persuading Crumb to stop censoring himself and, invariably, to produce his best work. “Just because you depict evil, doesn’t mean you are evil,” Wilson told Rosenkranz. “People always get that confused. They expect me to be all the monsters I draw. I say, ‘No, I’m a repressed Victorian. I shuffle around here and I drink my morning tea.’ People show up in leathers and s**t, looking like my characters, I won’t let them in my house …

“I get a lot of flak from feminists, but we all do,” Wilson added. “But within that group of feminists, there’s all kinds of mentalities. Some don’t understand what we’re dong — making fun of everything. Spain (Rodriguez) gets a lot of s**t about it, we all do. I like the idea of keeping the boat rocking.” Chamberlain said Wilson rarely drinks any more and apparently left the bar last Saturday night while friends were trying to track down a taxi. He’d been hospitalized almost 72 hours, she said, before he opened his eyes, and when asked his name, responded, “I don’t know.”

“It was very bad news today,” Chamberlain said. “The most important thing is that he gets over the pneumonia, but he’s had a very severe head injury.” Wilson is in intensive care at San Francisco General. Chamberlain said the hospital will not allow him to receive visitors or flowers.”

“George Brecht, 82, Fluxus Conceptual Artist, Is Dead
By KEN JOHNSON, NY Times
Published: December 15, 2008
George Brecht, a core member of Fluxus, the loosely affiliated international group of playful Conceptual artists that emerged in the early 1960s, died on Dec. 5 in Cologne, Germany. He was 82 and lived in Cologne. He died in his sleep, said Geoffrey Hendricks, a friend, who was also a Fluxus member. He had been in failing health for several years.

Mr. Brecht came of age as an artist in the late 1950s, when Abstract Expressionism and the cult of the heroic creative genius were ascendant. Inspired by the Conceptual art of Marcel Duchamp and the experimental music of John Cage, he began to imagine a more modest, slyly provocative kind of art that would focus attention on the perceptual and cognitive experience of the viewer. American, European and Asian artists who were thinking along similar lines included Dick Higgins, Alison Knowles, Ben Vautier, Nam June Paik and George Maciunas, who in 1962 came up with the name Fluxus for this confederation of like-minded Conceptualists. Like many other Fluxus artists, Mr. Brecht created assemblages consisting of ordinary objects in boxes and cabinets, as well as arrangements that often included chairs. He also made paintings and sculptures that played with language, like a piece with white plastic letters spelling “sign of the times.”

His most important and original contribution was a form he called the “event score,” which typically was printed on a small white card that he would mail to friends. The event score consisted of a title followed by eccentric instructions. The directive for “String Quartet,” for example, read simply, “Shaking hands.” The musicians would perform it by doing just that. One of his most famous pieces was “Drip Music,” in which “a source of water and an empty vessel are arranged so that the water falls into the vessel.” Performances of “Drip Music” can be seen on Youtube.com. He created event scores for sculptures as well. Instructions for “Three Arrangements,” for example, read, “on a shelf/on a clothes tree/black object white chair.”

Mr. Brecht said that he did not care if any of his event scores were realized and that he did not think that there was a correct way to perform one. He once wrote that his events were “like little enlightenments I wanted to communicate to my friends who would know what to do with them.” Mr. Brecht was born George MacDiarmid on Aug. 27, 1926, in New York. His father, a flutist who played in the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and the NBC Radio Orchestra, died when his son was 8. Mr. Brecht changed his last name to Brecht — not in reference to Bertolt Brecht, but because he liked the sound of the name — around 1945 while serving in the United States Army in Germany. After the war Mr. Brecht studied chemistry at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science in Philadelphia, and he supported himself as a research chemist from 1950 to 1965.

In the mid-1950s, following the lead of Jackson Pollock, Mr. Brecht produced paintings using chance operations and materials like bed sheets, ink and marbles. In 1958-59, he attended a class in experimental music composition taught by John Cage at what was then the New School for Social Research in New York. Soon he was producing compositions even more radical than those of Mr. Cage. In the early 1960s, Mr. Brecht taught in what was then the unusually progressive art department of Rutgers University, along with Mr. Hendricks, Allan Kaprow (who became known as an inventor of the “happening”) and Robert Watts, who also became a Fluxus artist.

Mr. Brecht’s first solo exhibition, “Toward Events: An Arrangement,” was at Reuben Gallery in New York in 1959. During the next five years, he participated in many group exhibitions and performances in New York. His work “Repository” (1961), a wall cabinet containing a pocket watch, a thermometer, rubber balls, toothbrushes and other objects, was included in “The Art of Assemblage,” the famous 1961 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, and the museum later bought it. Nine years later, Mr. Brecht was included in “Information,” another landmark show at the Modern. In 1965, Mr. Brecht left New York. He lived in Rome, the South of France, London and Düsseldorf, Germany, before settling in Cologne in 1972.

He is survived by his wife, Hertha, and a son, Eric, who lives in Southern California. Mr. Brecht’s work was especially appreciated in Europe. He was included in Documenta, the giant exhibition in Kassel, Germany, in 1972 and 1977. In 2005 the Museum Ludwig in Cologne organized a comprehensive career retrospective, which traveled to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona. Mr. Brecht once described his art as a way of “ensuring that the details of everyday life, the random constellations of objects that surround us, stop going unnoticed”.”
