This is an historical Dick Higgins, one of the inventors of happenings, a co-founder of Fluxus, the founder of Something Else Press, the critical theorist who named and clarified the concept of intermedia.
Higgins read widely, aided by a near-photographic memory, and he could have said, as Erasmus did, "My home is where I have my library." Even more significant, principles held prime place in Higgins's life, and principles informed his art, his intellectual activities, and the way he conducted his life.
Dick was a model for me, a model of everything one may aspire to be as an intellectual, as a man of dignity.

 A CHILD'S HISTORY of FLUXUS by DICK HIGGINS
In America there were George (George Brecht) and Dick (Dick Higgins) and La Monte (La Monte Young) and Jackson (Jackson MacLow) and plenty of others.
Dick went there from New York, with Alison (Alison Knowles) his artist wife, and they took with them lots of pieces by other American people who had been finding and sharing Fluxus kinds of things.
She was an old-fashioned lady, and when the television showed all the crazy things that her son George was doing at the Fluxus concerts, she was so embarrassed that she wouldn't go out of her house for two weeks because she was so ashamed of what the neighbors might say.

 Multimedia – From Wagner to Virtual Reality
Fluxus artist Dick Higgins describes a branch of American post-modernism from the 1960s that reflects the tumultuous social atmosphere of the era and its impact on the arts.
Higgins attention is focused on Intermedia, a myriad of emerging genres that spilled across the boundaries of traditional media.
Following the example of Marcel Duchamp, Higgins suggests that artists explore the territory that lies between "the general area of art media and those of life media." He calls for unusual combinations of art, including, for instance, the mixing of painting and shoes (as in the art of Claes Oldenburg).

 Dick Higgins - Columbia College Chicago Center for Book & Paper Arts exhibition - Brief Article ArtForum - Find Articles
One of the founders of Fluxus in the early '60, Dick Higgins (1938-98) lived long enough to witness the '90s revival of interest in the movement.
Higgins decided in 1968 to compose 1,000 symphonies, a project unfinished at his death.
In the late '80s and '90s Higgins con centrated on easel painting, the art form that had interested him least and in many ways represented what he aimed to displace in his earlier work (for its ties to the market, anti technological bent, and long, established tradition).
