Researching Larry Miller

Miller has also served as one of the regular players in Christopher Guest's mockumentary films.

As the All-American star of his Catasauqua High School team, Miller scored 46 of his team's 66 points and grabbed 20 rebounds in a 66-62 win over Steelton High in the 1964 Pennsylvania state playoffs at the Hershey Arena.A guard/forward born in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Miller played at the University of North Carolina during the 1960s. He earned ACC Men's Basketball Player of the Year honors in 1966 and 1967. In 2002, Miller was named to the ACC 50th Anniversary men's basketball team as one of the fifty greatest players in Atlantic Coast Conference history.

Miller was drafted in 1968 by the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers (5th round, 62nd overall pick), but never played in that league. From 1968 to 1975, he played professionally in the American Basketball Association as a member of the Los Angeles Stars, Carolina Cougars, San Diego Conquistadors, Virginia Squires, and Utah Stars. He averaged 13.6 points per game in his career and set the ABA record of 67 points in a game on March 18, 1972.

Since his retirement, he works in real estate construction.

Miller signed with the Dodgers in 1959 and spent three years in the club's farm system, and then missed the full 1962 and 1963 seasons while performing United States Army service. After starting 1964 with the Albuquerque Dukes, he was recalled by the Dodgers in June after he went 8–0 with a standout 1.68 earned run average in the Double-A Texas League. He was plugged into the 1964 Dodgers' starting rotation, with 14 starts among his 16 appearances. On August 2, he threw his only MLB complete game, a 6–1 triumph over the first-place Philadelphia Phillies at Connie Mack Stadium. He allowed seven hits and only one base on balls, and fanned five. Overall, as a rookie, he fashioned a 4–8 record and a 4.18 earned run average. Then in October he was swapped to the Mets for outfielder Dick Smith, a former Dodger farmhand. Hurling for the tail-ending Mets, Miller appeared in 32 games (with six starts) over parts of two seasons, but won only one of seven decisions with a poor 5.35 ERA. His final MLB game was September 17, 1966.

Miller's final major league pitching line included a 5–14 won–lost record (for a winning percentage of .263) and an ERA of 4.71. In 145 innings pitched, he allowed 162 hits and 57 walks; he struck out 93.

He then pitched three more seasons at the Triple-A level before leaving the game at age 32 after a nine-year professional baseball career. He settled in the Phoenix area and earned a masters' degree in engineering at Arizona State University. He spent three decades as a management consultant on major construction projects. Larry Miller died March 21, 2018, in Phoenix, aged 80.

Miller returned to his home country of Antigua and ran for Antigua and Barbuda at the 1984 Summer Olympics participating in the 200 m, 4 x 100 metres relay, and 4 x 400 metres relay. He again represented his home country in the 1988 Summer Olympics running in the 4 x 100 metres relay and 4 x 400 metres relay. He also competed in the Pan American Games.

Miller received a full athletic and academic scholarship to Yale University. He double majored in economics and political science. Miller was the captain of his Yale Track team and won three outdoor and one indoor Heptagonal titles, while breaking a record for the 600 yards. He has several undefeated track records all over the United States.

Miller’s early works already demonstrate his personal understanding of the artist as an investigator of experience and of art as an experiment. In addition to his work with Fluxus and DNA, Miller's work can be divided into two distinct categories: 1) Miller's own video pieces, which were often components of his larger installations and performances and 2) documentary videotapes of Fluxus interviews, performances and events. Since the 1960s, Miller has shot and collected an impressive number of Fluxus related materials, including the 1978 Interview with George Maciunas.

The interview that Miller conducted with Maciunas shortly before the latter's death is an outstanding documentation, which has made a great contribution to the reconstruction of early Fluxus history in particular. Miller has also done interviews with artists Joe Jones (Fluxus musician), Carolee Schneemann, Ben Vautier, Dick Higgins, Alison Knowles and others. Miller has helped produce, organize and develop exhibitions for Fluxus artists such as Maciunas and Nam June Paik. Miller also organized several evenings at the Judson Church in New York.
