Yesterday I heard of the sad news of William Pope.L’s passing just as I happened to be landing in Chicago, the city where he was based for most of his professional life and where I first became aware of his work in 1994, when I saw images related to his piece
Thank you for this thoughtful note on William Pope.L. I was one of the gorilla performers at the Fluxus evening and got to work with him, and it was such an honor and a very special experience. I had to rehearse and memorize a very strange text, that was chaotic and creative and poetic all at the same time. It’s engraved in my memory. The rehearsal was a phenomenal one time in a life experience.
