Alison Knowles is a foundational figure in Fluxus, renowned for her innovative integration of performance, chance, and everyday objects. From early event scores like Make a Salad (1962) and The Identical Lunch (1969) to seminal works such as Bean Rolls (1963) and The House of Dust (1968), Knowles helped redefine what art could be. Her work spans performance, poetry, and audio pieces, earning prestigious recognition including a Guggenheim Fellowship for The House of Dust and the Karl Sczuka Award for Bean Sequences. Her practice has been celebrated in major retrospectives, with a recent UC Berkeley/ABAM exhibition spanning 1960–2022 and the upcoming 2025–2026 MAMC+ Saint-Étienne retrospective.
