Anarchic street performances in late-1950s Japan; inauguration of
the first Happenings in Antwerp and charging of the "magic circle"
in Amsterdam; Bauhaus Situationiste and anti-national art
exchanges, networks and communes. As "Happener" and "Art
Missionary," Yoshio Nakajima’s storied career traverses an
astounding range of locations, scenes, movements, media, and
performance modes in the global 1960s and 1970s in ways that
challenge our notions of the possibilities of art. Nakajima
repeatedly plays a role in jump-starting spaces of possibility,
from Tokyo to Ubbeboda, from Spui Square and the Dutch Provos to
Antwerp and Sweden. Despite this, Nakajima’s work has
paradoxically been largely excluded from accounts where it might
have justifiably featured. The present volume represents an
international collaboration of researchers working to remedy this
oversight. Nakajima’s work demands a reconceptualization of
narratives of this art and politics and their specific
interrelation to consider his exemplary nonconformity—and its
exemplary exclusion. This history demonstrates the inadequacy of
notions of specificity that would oppose an authentic local or
national frame to an inauthentic transnational one. Conversely,
Nakajima manifests a key dimension of the 1960s as a global event
in the interrelation between eventfulness itself and the redrawing
of categories of practice and understanding.
