    “I think I am doing the right thing”

    An interview with Jeffrey Perkins, New York-based artist and filmmaker

    I met Jeffrey Perkins, the New-York based artist and filmmaker, through the research I was doing about the Lithuanian-born artist George Maciunas. For the last seven years Perkins has been working on a documentary film – a portrait of one of the founders of the Fluxus Art Movement. His adventures with the intellectual avant-garde began in 1963 in Tokyo, while stationed by the US Air Force in Japan; there he met Yoko Ono, which then led to introductions to many artists and composers active at the time. After moving to Los Angeles in the late 1960s, Perkins worked for the Fox Venice Theater, managed Cinematheque 16, and co-founded the psychedelic light-show group Single Wing Turquoise Bird, which performed with The Velvet Underground, The Yardbirds, Cream, Sly and the Family Stone, among others. In 1981 Perkins returned to New York

    Note: An samling and performance artist who is considered one of the founders of the Fluxus movement. He was also a classically trained double bassist, performing at times with orchestras. He upended traditional notions of composition with his Fluxus-era pieces, particularly "Variations for a Double Bass" of 1962. In the 1970s he ceased making artwork and became a reference librarian. He returned to artmaking in the mid-1980s.
