The Myers School of Art at The University of Akron welcomes artist and scholar Larry Miller as a guest lecturer on Wednesday, March 1, at 6 p.m. in the auditorium of Folk Hall.

Larry Miller describes himself as an "intermedia artist", who was active in the development of multi-media and performance-based works in SoHo’s alternative exhibition spaces. Whether presented as live performance, specific site installation, or gallery exhibition, Miller considers all of his works -- as well as himself -- to be “performing objects.” He explains that in this view, there are no fixed boundaries between objects, events, time and space, or between definitions that societies offer for science, art, and religion.  Drawing upon a background in music, theater and the visual arts, Miller composes configurations that merge diverse media and participatory elements, cutting across disciplines to blend ironic humor and poetic contemplation.

Starting in 1969, Miller became a core associate of the group of artists known as Fluxus – a nonconformist international group which began in Germany in 1962, This group was opposed to tradition and professionalism in the arts, and were noted for its Happenings,  actions, publications, and concerts. Miller was active as an organizer, performer, and presenter within the Fluxus milieu, and today he is recognized internationally as a Fluxus scholar. His works have appeared world-wide in a variety of exhibitions, galleries and museums.
