Overview
- Her death on October 29 in New York at age 92 was announced by her gallery James Fuentes, which did not specify a cause.
- A key figure in Fluxus, she translated ordinary activities into event scores such as Make a Salad, first performed at London’s ICA in 1962 and restaged at venues including Tate Modern and Art Basel.
- She co-created The House of Dust in 1967 with James Tenney using FORTRAN, a work widely regarded as among the first computer-generated poems.
- The House of Dust is set to appear this autumn in the inaugural exhibition for the New Museum’s building expansion in New York.
- She performed in an early 1962 Fluxus concert in Germany—cited as Wiesbaden in some reports and Düsseldorf in others—and later received major retrospectives at the Carnegie Museum of Art (2016) and the Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive (2022–23), with a 2024 presentation in Wiesbaden.
