Terry Fox, a native of Seattle, lived in San Francisco from 1968 to 1978, a crucial period not only for the development of his own work but for the influence it had on fellow artists, most of whom, like Fox, were associated with Tom Marioni’s Museum of Conceptual Art. In San Francisco, Fox enacted ritualistic, body-related performances, mounted installations, and also explored the element of sound in a series of performances based on the vibrations of strung piano wire, which had a strong, visceral effect. In 1980, after a brief stint in New York, he moved permanently to Europe, residing in numerous cities including Berlin, Naples, Florence, Liège, and Cologne.
