of his concept of VEC (Visual, Experimental, Concrete), which he originated in

1973. In 1999 CNN International featured Summers in its Art Club show as a

representative of avant-garde art in the Netherlands. In addition, over the last 20

years, Summers has performed his work at various festivals in Europe and Iceland,

including the Reykjavik Art Festival (1991), the Polypoetry Festival of Sound

Poetry (Bologna, 1993), and the International Sound Poetry Festival (Bologna,

1997). As ‘The Ambassadors of Cribbage’ Summers and his friend and colleague

Ron Bernstein are currently busy around Europe with a series of performances

‘The Card Players’. From July of 2023 through to April 2024 the collaborative

work of Summers will be exhibited at the city museum of Maastricht The
