In One Year and Out the Other
On New Year's Eve, make a telephone call from one time zone to another so
that you are conducting a conversation between people located in two
years. You may also send a telefax or an email message between two years.
-- Ken Friedman
December 31, 1975
Notes:
This event has been performed every year since 1975.
I first performed this event on New Year's Eve 1975-1976, calling from
Springfield, Ohio forward to Dick Higgins, Christo, and Nam June Paik in
New York, then back to Tom Garver and Natasha Nicholson in California. I
have performed this work every year since then, frequently calling Tom
Garver, Peter Frank, Newton and Helen Harrison, Abraham Friedman and the
late Dick Higgins. For New Year's of 1992-1993 I used telefax for the
first time in performing this work. I sent telefax messages with the score
to Christo and Jeanne-Claude Christo, Peter Frank, Abraham and Shirley
Friedman, Dick Higgins, Hong Hee Kim-Cheon, Choong-Sup and Yeong Lim,
Karen and David Moss.
Over the past decade, increasingly large numbers of people have been
performing this event using email.
