Ann K mentioned her article in one of the issues of Visible Language in a prior post - if you are interested in the above you should really read it for the essay covers may important and related issues to the topic of fluxus as an onging concern/approach. It is titled "What has Fluxus Created?" (or did you mention this already Ann?) My own point of view is that there is a historical Fluxus that is what it is (not dead, but more set or determined in a way) but there is also fluxus as a view and practice that is alive an well. This is another way Fluxus is like Zen - both have a history and an ongoing praqctice that are related but not determined one (present, evloving and changing) by the other (past, more set if not fixed) - I had a great conversation with George Brecht a number of years ago about this concept and he agreed that this is a useful way of looking at Fluxus.
