If I had been in New York in the 1970s, when I bought Movie Journal on Broadway at Broome Street, I would have met the lanky figure of Jonas Mekas there. He was on his way to Wooster Street, where he had a studio in one of the loft buildings that his friend and Fluxus leading man George Maciunas had converted into artists’ cooperatives. In the Fluxhouse Coop at number 80 he ran his own cinemathèque and film archive, a long-standing dream that had finally gained a foothold. In the evening he would visit a theater show of the Wooster Group in The Performing Garage, or on the corner of Wooster and Broome a multimedia jazz concert in The Kitchen.
