Hennning Christiansen "Kreuzmusik" K7 tape issued by Neue Bildende Kunst (Edition 12) in Germany, 1993. Edition limited to 100 signed copies in box. Including score. ****** Tape:m / Cov:m- / Box:m- ****** Ultra rare original signed art-multiple edition with hand-made box limited to 100 copies!  "Kreuzmusik" was commissioned by the Bonner Kunstverein Gallery, Kunstfond, Germany in August 1989, for inclusion in their 'Taking Fluxus Around for a Drive' happening, (also featuring performances by Dieter Daniels, George Maciunas, Allan Kaprow, Al Hansen, Joe Jones and others) and originally issued on cassette in 1990 by Neue Bildende Kunst. In 1967 Joseph Beuys and Henning Christiansen travelled to Darmstadt for a 10 hours performance of "Hauptstrom Fluxus". It was basically a new ritual, which is how a lot of people saw it at the time, and later on too. Beuys used his own body as a deeply primal human language, and Henning Christiansen made 10 hours of ritual music using a number of tape recorders. Christiansen main motif was a knocking sound, like the sound of a heart beating, which I used to create peace in the space, separate from the other more energetic sound-music passages. When he later got the invitation for "Taking Fluxus Around for a Drive" Henning Christiansen immediately remembered that Darmstadt exhibition in 1967. He decided straight away that he wanted to make "Kreuzmusik", and was also sure that no other Fluxus people would come up with the same idea. Most of his Fluxus friends go for Homo Ludens and that's fine, but Henning Christiansen wanted to feel the intimacy again in a small space, he wanted to make a Scandinavian ritual in "Fluxid Behandlung". So he took his Stone Age Gramophone (which really does play stones) called his friend Ernst Ludwig Kretzer from Hamburg and arranged with him that he would operate a time delay on Christiansen tapes and voice so that he could ritualize freely. ****** Original hand-stamped poster with 4-color score. ****** Top mint conditions! ****** Please wait to receive my invoice before sending the payment after the auction ends.
