Geoffrey Hendricks

Geoffrey Hendricks is an American artist associated with Fluxus since the mid 1960s, and is often referred to as "cloudsmith" for his extensive work with sky imagery in paintings, on objects, in installations and performances. Hendricks was born in Littleton, New Hampshire in 1931. He is professor emeritus of art at Rutgers University, where he taught from 1956 to 2003 and was closely associated with Allan Kaprow, Roy Lichtenstein, and Lucas Samaras.

In 2002, he edited "Critical Mass: Happenings, Fluxus, Performance, Intermedia and Rutgers University, 1958-1972" [http://rutgerspress.rutgers.edu/acatalog/__Critical_Mass_1041.html#1132] , a book that documents the seminal creative activity and experimental work he developed at the university along with Bob Watts, Allan Kaprow, George Brecht, and others.

He has participated in Fluxus festivals worldwide and continues exhibiting internationally. He is renowned for students he has mentored over his 48 years of teaching, and his skill in preparing delicious macrobiotic meals. He maintains studios and residences in New York City and at his farm in Colindale, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, along with his partner, and sometimes collaborator, Sur Rodney (Sur).

In 2006, he had solo exhibitions at the Art Gallery of Windsor [http://www.artgalleryofwindsor.com/] ,Ontario; UC, Santa Cruz; Galerie Esplanade [http://www.galerie-esplanade.at/] , Bad Ischl, Austria; the Egon Schiele Art Centrum [http://www.schieleartcentrum.cz/new/index.php?lang=en&mode=normal] , Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic (through December 2006); and taught "the Artist as Nomad" at the International Summer Academy [http://www.summeracademy.at/en/] , Salzburg.
