"The public person is the Dick Higgins whose biography is better known with every passing year. This is an historical Dick Higgins, one of the inventors of happenings [1958], a co-founder of Fluxus [1961], the founder of Something Else Press [1963], the critical theorist who named and clarified the concept of intermedia [1965]. Behind these was a deeper and even more complex figure than even these facts suggest. He was cut of the same cloth as the great humanists who gave voice to the intellectual and spiritual upheaval bridging medieval times and the early modern era(from Dick Higgins, dates from Short biography and Collections)."
