Frijoles
CanyonThe canyon in its true dimension maps events into long commute from Sante Fe to the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Knowles performs with text throughout: star excellence in nature the snow beds filled with ragwort blooming... railways go through, but do not terminate in Canada.
A work produced by Coco Gordon that stems from ecoROOM, Gordon's work for MedArt International's World Congress on Arts and Medicine in 1992. It is a collection of pieces by artists who are paying attention to reclaiming biodiversity, the integrity of seeds, the preservation of all species, and of keeping the major life systems of the earth healthy and in balance. Handbound, with poem-inscribed pencil, 30 contributed pages from artists, writers and musicians including Pauline Oliveros, Ione, Ed Sanders, Ray Johnson, Alison Knowles, R.I.P. Hayman, Helene Aylon and Betty Beaumont.

Knowles first introduced her work internationally through the Fluxus group in the early sixties. She has worked continually since then as a visual artist, doing sound works for radio, performances and installations. She has authored a number of books and articles. As poet and writer, she continues to expand the spirit of Fluxus in her recent work. Much of her studies concern food - beans, for example. Joshua Selman has collaborated with her on several sound art projects including Frijoles Canyon, Setsubun and Northwater Song. Recently published are her books, Spoken Text and Bread and Water.
