5 min

“Quick Constant and Solid Instant documents a Flux Mass at Voorhees Chapel at Rutgers University in 1969; intercut with the paintings of John Wallington, and Rod Townley on his Harley Davidson motorcycle. Soundtrack: Gerard Malanga, reading his poems at The Rose Room, Rutgers University, 1969.” – Wheeler Winston Dixon “The rich filmic collapse of personal memory into cultural history is summed up at the end of Quick Constant and Solid Instant (1969), a Fluxus performance set to a Gerard Malanga poetry reading. ‘It will take you a long time,’ intones Malanga, ‘to understand why I wrote poems for you.’” - Ed Halter, The Village Voice
