Alison Knowles was born in New York City in 1933. She is a visual artist known for her soundworks, installations, performances, publications and association with Fluxus, the experimental avant-garde group formally founded in 1962.
“Alison Knowles is an artist who stands for life. Her message is direct and in some ways, oblique. Yet it is through this obliqueness, this archeological measure where art becomes an investigation of the world through the most intimate recesses, that gives the “Bread and Water” prints their power. The fact is that we have been seduced into thinking that power is outside of us not within us; and this is precisely where work of Alison Knowles comes into play and where it offers itself to us.”
