"JI think fluxus isnt anything-- fluxus is made up of what you and I are doing
in this present moment and that is indescribable because it has no history"
surely everyhing which exists, at the moment of it's coming into existence, begins to
leave behind it its history (assuming we take the common accepted, day to day approach
that time is linear and goes forwards!)
what we do as artists we must be able to describe (or at least express) what its
about,in some way. that is not to say justify it or eplain it so as to make others
understand or accept it - but surely we must be able to reason to ourselves just. as
artists everything we do has a history, whether we are conscious of it or not - this
'history' does not always mean historical precedent, or the conscious influence of
existing works or ideas. however everything we produce is produced 'after' the
initial thought/idea/moment of inspiration or impulse and therefore has a history -
surely therefore we have some sort of responsability, even if it only for ourselves,
to attempt to find a way to understand what we have done - if we understand, surely
there is room for description.
