Dick Higgins and his Something Else Press epitomized the riotous art of the '60s

There are few art-world figures as influential--and as little known--as Dick Higgins (1938-98), cofounder of Fluxus, polyartist, poet, scholar, theorist, composer, performer and, not least, the publisher of the legendary Something Else Press. In 1965 he restored the term intermedia to the English language, giving it new dimension to recognize the dissolution of boundaries between traditional modes of art-making and the open field for new forms that cannot be compartmentalized. His own contributions to intermedia are many--as a participant and instigator of happenings, as writer and composer straddling traditional and vanguard forms, among others--but it was Something Else Press (1963-74) that redefined how the book could inhabit that energized, in-between space.
