Carrot Chew Performance
CarrotChewPerformance could be regarded as a "quintessential Fluxus" work as it was premiered in the
Canal Street Fluxloft in 1964. Always intended as a public participation the originals were pencil on paper,
and disappeared after the performance. Francesco Conz, later, in the 70s, produced the 4 pages in equally
large format as a silkscreen edition. These serve as semi-improvise scores ---mouths to ear--- and have
been used in performance (including installations), most recently at the Fondazione Mudima in Milano.
The carrots, of course, must be supplied.

Die Partituren zur Carrot Chew Performance (vier Siebdrucke auf Baumwollstoff; Faksimile des
Originalwerks von 1964, hg. von F. Conz, Verona, 1983) werden während der gesamten Festivaldauer im
echoraum präsentiert.
