Alison Knowles was born in New York City in 1933. In the sixties she created Notations, a book with John Cage, and Coeurs Volants with Marcel Duchamp, both produced with the Something Else Press. With Fluxus she made the Bean Rolls, a canned book that appeared in the Whitney's "The American Century" (2000). The Big Book (1967) followed, a walk-in book with 8-foot pages, as well as The House of Dust. This was the first computerized poetry on record, winning her a Guggenheim fellowship.
In 2001, she performed and exhibited her new paper / sound works at the Drawing Center in New York. Her Giant Bean Turner, which combines two of her favorite materials (beans and flax paper) she will perform at Guggenheim Museum in 2009.
