About Giuseppe Chiari
Giuseppe Chiari studied mathematics and music. In 1947 he started his own jazz-club, began about 1950 to compose and joined Fluxus around 1962.
In his music-performances he made use of, among other things, instruments that he had transformed from their original form and from objects that belong more to ‘normal daily-life’.
Chiari is also known for his (often rough-lettered) statements, such as ART IS EASY and ALL MUSIC IS THE SAME.
