Plexus International

Plexus International is a global arts collective that was founded in 1982 in New York City.[1] The group is known for their collaborative, experimental art events as well as their theory of "artist in the first person" as a way to create co-authorship within the collective.[2]. Among the visual, musical, and literary artiats who have participated with Plexuas are William Parker, Shalom Tomáš Neuman, Butch Morris, Stephen DiLauro, Miguel Algarin, Arturo Lindsay, and Lorenzo Pace.[3]

In 1985, the collective held a three-hour long show, titled "The Artificial Time of the Purgatorio Show '85 New York", at a Lower East Side squat, CUANDO.[4] The collective's later work tended toward digital art productions, and the group eventually moved to be based in Italy.[5]
