(a small fluxcerpt):
IN 1974 STEPHEN ANTONAKOS INVITED FOUR COLLEAGUES,
RICHARD ARTSCHWAGER, DANIEL BUREN, SOL LEWITT, AND
ROBERT RYMAN TO PLACE OBJECT INTO FOUR STEEL BOXES
THAT WOULD NOT BE OPENED UNTIL THE YEAR 2000. THE BOXES
WERE SEALED IN 1975 AND THE ARTISTS WERE SWORN TO
SECRECY.
FROM JANUARY 20 THROUGH MARCH 12, 2000 THE ROSE
MUSEUM AT BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY IN WALTHAM,
MASSACHUSETTS WILL DISPLAY THE BOXES IN A NEON
ENVIRONMENT, DESIGNED BY STEPHEN ANTONAKOS AND BUILT
AT THE MUSEUM. HALFWAY THROUGH THE SHOW THE BOXES
WILL BE OPENED.

Left to itself, art would have to be something very simple - it would be sufficient
for it to be beautiful. But when it's useful it should spill out of just being
beautiful and move over to other aspects of life so that when we're not with the art
it has nevertheless influenced our actions or our responses. -John Cage
