A new episode of Intimate Addresses is out today! It's all about Ben Patterson. 🎧 Patterson was a classically trained musician who faced down American racism, went to Germany, and became a Fluxus artist. His made music that was revolutionary, quirky, low tech pieces, like orchestras for sheets of paper and dances to traffic signals. He was also a librarian and an arts administrator, advocating for other artists, especially Black musicians. His art and work make you think about what it is to be a participant, what it is to be an activist, and what it is to be an artist. Get inspired by Benjamin Patterson.
