Includes short statements by some of the participants in the light art movement advertisements announcements of exhibitions etc. According to the opening summary paragraph on the first page "The Alliance of Light Artists was formed in August 1969 to facilitate communication among members of the audio-visual community. During the summer when Glenn McKay of the Headlights was visiting New York from California he emphasized the need for an information exchange among light artists. As the result of his urging we have held three meetings so far - one at the Museum of the Media one at the Electric Circus and one at the Fillmore East." Some of the names of artists participating in this group included Faye Barth June Blum Geoffrey Ryn Carlitz The Celebration Light Show and Jud Yalkut among several others. In very good condition. This copy was mailed to A.L.A. member and avant-garde filmmaker Jud Yalkut in December 1969. Quite a scarce little publication. We found no listings for sale in commerce nor any copies in institutional hands. Museum of the Media paperback books

193738408Author 1937. 6/25/16. 4to. 6 269 pp. b/w maps. <br /><br />Two Yalies one of them the scion of the Upjohn pharma empire fly around the world in Upjohn's seaplane. The logistics and international permissions necessary for this five month trip must have been formidable and could only have been accomplished by persons of privilege and wealth. However this is not to downplay the riskiness of the adventure which took place only seven years after Lindberg's epic transatlantic flight. In a way this account reminds me of nothing so much as the journals of wealthy young yachtsmen fifty years before. The authors are keen on technical details and radio jargon but punctuate their narratives with interludes such as "Succeeded in bumming some Chesterfield cigarettes; my supply has been low ever since it was politely raided by the young ladies of Kerertarssaurak." Upjohn distributed this self published account to friends and judging by the number of ex-lib copies on the market to a great many libraries. This is one of the rare copies NOT from a library. Very good condition in original black cloth binding with gold spine lettering. Author hardcover books
