Friedman's Holy Lands.
Ken Friedman was a member of Fluxus, an international laboratory for experimental art, architecture, design and music. Friedman joined Fluxus in 1966 as the youngest member of the classical Fluxus group.
Ken Friedman (1949, New London, Connecticut) joined Fluxus in 1966 as the youngest member of the group. He worked closely with artists and composers associated with Fluxus, such as Dick Higgins, Nam June Paik, John Cage and others. Friedman played an important role in the founding of Fluxus West. Conceived as a gathering point for Fluxus-related activities in the western states of America, it expanded its reach to Germany and the United Kingdom in the late 1960s and 1970s. In 1971 Friedman participated in Earthworks by the New Zealand post-object artist and composer Philip Dadson, a 'composition' for film and audiotape that was realized simultaneously in fifteen locations around the world.
In 1976, Friedman completed his doctoral thesis in behavioral science while working as an artist. He later worked as a publisher, management consultant, and designer. In 1994, he began an academic career, first as professor of leadership and strategic design at the Norwegian School of Management in Oslo, then as dean of the faculty of design at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, where he served as University Distinguished Professor. Friedman is professor emeritus at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia.
