Originally published in 1967 by Something Else Press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA collection of musical works, flowing together in a sprawling collage. Corner incorporates pop music as a raw material and a motor, an ever-changing sound source with an aura of heightened energy: pulsating rhythms, dancing, and the frenzy of teenage fans. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally published by Something Else Press between 1965 and 1967, the Great Bear Pamphlet series was envisioned by founding editor Dick Higgins as a “poor man’s keys to the new art,” or a means of exposing the most vital work of the time to a mass-market audience, and vice versa. The series made uncompromisingly radical work maximally accessible, with slim, chapbook-like publications of a mostly uniform, pared down design. Taken together, the pamphlets constitute a firsthand survey of the sixties avant-garde (Higgins, Barbara Moore, and Emmett Williams all had a hand in the editorial process) that is both sweeping and utterly unique, transmitting a still-vibrant signal of expanded possibility in art, music, and poetry. Presented here in a facsimile edition, the Great Bears epitomize the utopian vision of Higgins and Something Else.
