Routine piece on an original, avant-garde artist who did some pretty neat stuff in the last half of the 20th century. He had a playful, original attitude...was wildly prolific...much of the work that was shown here tickled me. I loved the idea of him distributing his work through the mail and encouraging people to add to it and forward it on.
Later in his career he moved toward "performance" art which, as always, seemed snide and self-indulgent to me. But it was somewhat amusing watching him bash a cardboard box in front of some art patrons. For ten seconds or so.
Interesting guy...solid doc.
