What's Not! Owen or anyone, Was surfing amazon.com tonight and ran across this entry for a relatively new Fluxus book: What's Fluxus? What's Not! Why. by Arthur Danto, Jon Hendricks (Editor), Thomas Kellein March 2003 Anyone on FLUXLIST read this book yet?  Is Jon Hendricks still pushing the idea that Fluxus = Maciunas/ Maciunas dies = Fluxus over?  I think I still know of only one person who agrees with Hendricks on this (John Held, Jr.).  Make that two (Gilbert Silverman).  Silverman has a vested interest in this narrow definition of Fluxus, of course, since his original motivation in collecting Fluxus (with Jon Hendrick's help!) was to acquire the "world's largest collection" of something.  Defining Fluxus narrowly/historically became part of that effort. Any new ideas or thoughts in this book from any of the contributors?  Please share. Allen
