He was in Wiesbaden with George Maciunas to organise the historic 1962 Fluxus International Festival and continued to be a major presence in Fluxus events until the early 1970s. As part of the Edge 90 Conference, Patterson will be performing a number of old and new performance works, some involving audience participation.
