Dick Higgins is a composer, painter, translator and art theorist. Happenings and Fluxus, Intermedia, Something Else Press, these are a few of the terms associated with Dick Higgins. He remarks I find I never feel quite complete unless I'm doing all the arts--visual, musical and literary. I guess that's why I developed the term 'intermedia,' to cover my works that fall conceptually between these. The founder of Something Else Press he published works by Alan Kaprow, Gertrude Stein, Marshall McLuhan, John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Emmett Williams, and Ray Johnson among others. His forty-seven books include Poems Plain and Fancy (Station Hill Press) and A Book About Love and War and Death (Something Else). He edited and annotated Giordano Bruno's On the Composition of Images, Signs and Ideas (Willis, Locker and Owens) and he is a recent recipient of a grant from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. He has two forthcoming books: Merle Armitage and the Modern Book (David Godine) and 2001: Modernism Since Post-Modernism (San Diego State University Press).
