Art's Birthday

Description:

Art’s Birthday was a tradition started by French Fluxus artist Robert Filliou who declared, on January 17, 1963, that Art had been born exactly 1,000,000 years prior when somebody dropped a dry sponge into a bucket of water. Over many decades, artists have continued to organize annual celebrations in the spirit of Filliou’s “Eternal Network” or “La Fête permanente.”

To celebrate Art’s Birthday, Western Front hosted an evening of noise, performance, and experimental music with artists Soressa Gardner, prOphecy sun, and French for Sled Dogs.
