Microscope Gallery is extremely excited to launch the start of our 2014-2015 Weekly Event Series with a rare projection of the slide projection piece \u201c12! BIG NAMES!\u201d by George Maciunas, Fluxus founding member and central figure. The work will be presented by Jonas Mekas whose Cinematheque at 80 Wooster Street was where the piece was first shown on April 21, 1976.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u201c12! BIG NAMES!\u201d was a critique of his [George\u2019s] colleague artists whom he considered as becoming more interested in building up their names than their art \u2026 The first projection was silent, except for the exuberant reactions of the audience which were recorded by Larry Miller and run during some of the following projections as a soundtrack. \u2013 JM<\/span><\/em>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe \u201c12 Big Names\u201d are Yoko Ono, Joseph Beuys, Andy Warhol, Wolf Vostell, Phil Glass, Michael Snow, Bruce Nauman, Les Levine, Vito Acconci, Piero Manzoni, Klaus Rinke, and Allan Kaprow.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\nA special slide surprise will end the event.<\/span>
