Jean Dupuy

Jean Dupuy was an interdisciplinary artist who worked in conceptual and performance art, painting, installation, sculpture, and video art. He is noted as a pioneer for combining art and technology early on in his work. In the 1970s he curated many performance art events involving different artists from New York’s avant-garde, Fluxus, and neo-dada scenes. Dupuy started his career as a painter, but in 1967 – 1968 destroyed most of his works by throwing them into the Seine. On moving to New York he worked in collaboration with artists such as George Maciunas, Nam June Paik, Claes Oldenburg, Charlemagne Palestine, Carolee Schneemann, Joan Jonas, Richard Serra, Gordon Matta-Clark, Robert Filliou, Charles Dreyfus, Laurie Anderson, Philip Glass, and Charlotte Moorman.
