Hi all,

To be honest I expected some sort of response to my post yesterday about the
box. I got one reply offlist.

I still want to know who did what if they didn't sign it.

Are we still waiting for some people to receive their boxes before we talk
about it? I thought I was one of the last to get mine, certainly the others
in England have theirs and in mainland Europe too. Although Bernice hasn't
got hers yet.

Maybe we can discuss them anyway?

Can anyone who hasn't yet received their box let me know. Thanks.

Actually I got the box out again last night to look at. It's very like a
mail art box project I participated in once...in that many boxes were made,
one a month for a year. Each subsequent box responded to elements of the
previous box. Maybe we could do that? Although not once a month. Maybe 2 a
year?

Realised that yesterday I should have thanked Owen for the time and trouble
he took to assemble and mail all the boxes so thank you Owen :-)

cheers,

Sol.

Re: FLUXLIST: Fluxlist Box

2000-05-11 Thread Sol Nte

Hi all,


Well thanks Ceyda and Bernice for responding I'm sorry that you haven't got
your boxes yet. Mine took a while to arrive too..only got it at the end of
last week...so it took a few weeks more than other boxes to the UK.

Ceyda asks:
>in case i
don't get my box (very very sad), will the items be exhibited on the web, in
the i/eye-zone galleries for example?<

Well, I think Owen was planning to catalogue the items in the box for a CD
catalogue of the box contents so if he's already photographed all the
objects etc. this could be put on the web. Owen?

If not I can photograph the box contents for the web, I agree that they
should be online, especially so that those who didn't take part or joined
the list after it had all happened can see what we did.

You may remember that I said originally I would try and show the box. Well
as I said yesterday I'm currently trying to get a stall for the London
Artist's Book Fair in the autumn. If I get it I shall show the box there
(the fair is in the Barbican Art Gallery in central London, unless the
organisers are changing plans this year), apart from that I'm not too sure
where else will be suitable. Also Owen only sent me one box so at the moment
I'm not willing to send my only box for someone to show unless I can be sure
that it is not damaged in transit etc. Perhaps the best thing is to show it
on the web too. Really Owen needs to tell us how far he's got with the
catalogue or I could just go ahead and set up some pages for it linked from
the Eye Zone which seems appropriate.

Owen, do let us know how far you've got with everything. Thanks.

As for discussing the box: First of all some people who contributed to the
box are no longer on the list. Rich J.Galpin and Joe Decie are no longer on
and Adrian Glew was never on in the first place although he is the Fluxus
archivist at the Tate Gallery in London and he was interested to contribute
so..  Rich Galpin asked me to let him know about any box discussions so
I shall pass on comments to him so if you wish to address a comment to him
please do so and I shall pass it on. Similarly I'm sure that Roger wouldn't
mind passing on comments addressed to Joe Decie (some of you may not know
that Joe is Roger's step son).

Okay, first of all if you didn't sign your work can you please say which
piece was your, some unsigned ones I know already but it would be nice to
make up a little list that I can include with my box for future reference to
know who did what. That's the first task.

The second task is harder because I think we should began to consider what
we've achieved with the box. Is this the beginning of a series? Do we want
to make another box in this way? Was this box a success? Did we achieve what
we set out to do?

I think the box took on a life of its own in some ways. It started as a plan
to make a Fluxus box but the result isn't really a Fluxus box, in fact even
just comparing it with photos of original Fluxboxes there are a number of
differences...in fact I think this is a good thing and that perhaps
originally we should have set out to explore the box form in our own way as
oppose to planning to make a "Fluxus box". However I think the fact that we
all worked together with a lot of discussion to agree on aspects of the box
such as the label has led us to an interesting way of working as a
group..surprisingly we all came to an agreement on most things quite
easily...I had expected far more disagreement, especially about the name.

So what else do we consider? The main thing I suppose is do we want to do
another one: To give people who didn't get a chance to contribute to the
first one a chance to contribute now and to work out what we can improve
upon in the second one. Clearly there is one obvious improvement and that is
the time factor..unfortunately various things have conspired to delay this
first box..many of which were beyond Owen's or my controlhaving to wait
2 weeks for the labels to come in stock, Owen's family emergency etc. etc. I
have some ideas about how we can produce these boxes quicker but I'll wait a
while before sharing those.

Okay, well I'd love to here people's comments.  A lot of people must have
had their boxes by now but only a few people have said anything about it.
What about the others did you like it? Did you dislike it? If so why? Please
be honest, I'm sure no-one will be offended if people are honest even if
this involves criticism. As an artist one expects to have one's work
examined in this way. Anyway I expect that most people will be interested to
question each other about their pieces, motivations, choices of materials
etc. It would be nice to explore the way each other works.

Anyway, I've said enough. Let's hear from someone else who has received
their box.

cheers,

Sol.

I did the pair a ceramic dice wrapped in text. Sorry I didn't sign it--I was not
thinking of attribution when I did it, sort of that the dice were their own
author. But you're right--after receiving the box I realized it would be nice to
have names to attach to things.

Sol, your image is very charming! I write when stuck in the car; I've got a
series of things called "In the Car: 1" and so on.

The CD is quite extraordinary. I would like to know more background on it--who
what when where why.

Are Kathy Forer's beautiful little reliefs each unique? Or all they all
elephants? I'm struck by the fact that the synchronic experience of the box
elides the diachronicity of each series, to counterfeit a phrase--

My son's very favorite (of many favorites) is the stone/water experiment. He's a
person of subtle wit.

We plan on stamping any number of things w/ the official fluxmark.

By the way, in stamp art news, did you know our most Wonderfully Absurd
Governor, Jesse Ventura, vetos bills with the rubber stamp of a pig? (for pork,
you know--is that expression current in the UK as well, pork for goverment
projects of dubious necessity?)

Re: FLUXLIST: Fluxlist Box

2000-05-11 Thread ann klefstad


Also, Sol, the label works very well, I think. My son carefully chose a name from all 
listed and wrote it in (Fluxedo is his choice).

It struck me, seeing his response to the box (he's 10), that this would be an 
excellent pedagogical tool. I mean the construction of
such boxes by a class, say. Roger, you work with kids, yes? What do you think? In the 
US there are these "artist in schools" programs
and artists can get on rosters to be sent around to schools to work with kids for a 
week or so. Doing a box could be a great project,
coupled with making of various kinds of multiples, prints, stamps, clay rollers, etc 
etc--and a good way to teach about art "outside
the box" so to speak.

Re: FLUXLIST: Fluxlist Box

2000-05-11 Thread Alex Cook

I'll go -

I've had mine for a couple weeks now, and I am very pleased with the box. 
The quality of the contributed pieces is much higher than I expected. I like 
how it comes across as an activity kit, rather than simply an artifact, or a 
small collection of multiples. I too would like to know who did some of the 
unsigned pieces. My biggest amazement is how well all the pieces fit in the 
box together, especially since there wer no clearly definied size guidlines 
put forth. This is the best executed collaborative art thing I've had the 
pleasure to be involved with, and I think we should do more of them.

If I had to pick a favorite, it would be Owen's map piece.

Also I'd be curious to know if anyone is planning to perform or has 
performed any of the scores put in the box.

FLUXLIST: RE: Fluxlist Box

2000-05-11 Thread Ronsen, Josh

The box is amazing! All the people I've shown it to have been impressed and,
dare I say, coveted it with a malicious gleam in their eyes.

I have been thinking about having a display of it somewhere in town (Austin,
Texas), just to have people look at it and touch it. I've been too lazy/busy
to get around to organizing this.

Laura Poll (of New Jersey?), sometime in the last 5 years, had a popcorn box
project where she had people send in 100 things, and then everyone got a box
(I assumed it was like a Crackerjack box). I was going to do this, but
didn't. It would be interesting to see the differences between the two
projects. I liked all of the 3D objects: I didn't think there would be that
many. To be honest, I haven't looked at everything in the box yet, maybe
when I'm displaying it and waiting for people to come and look at it...

I plan on doing most of the projects in it. I don't want to rip open the
plastic bag that contains all of the little performance scores! I will
someday. I am going to listen to the other piece of magnetic tape in the
box.

So, when is the next box?

FLUXLIST: Chris Rowland - Fishion

2000-05-11 Thread chris

New Media Scotland and The Collins Gallery present:

Chris Rowland - Fishion

13 May to 10 June 2000, Collins Gallery, Glasgow

http://www.mediascot.org/artlife/


A new interactive artwork, which takes the form of a shallow circular pool
of water that can be approached from all sides. The surface of the water is
continually rippling gently, its depth is imperceptible due to its colour.
As the viewer approaches the pool a sequence of animated images are seen
fleeting across the surface. The viewer looks into the pool and the images
change, the viewers reflection mingles with animated reflections that
cascade across the rippling water.

Sometimes a face looks back, then a shoal of fish-like people swim just
beneath the surface. The sky is reflected in the pool and the viewer can
see the clouds form as a storm begins. The sound of the water changes
depending on where the viewer stands or kneels. A voice can be heard
telling a secret or offering a warning. The images and sound are different
depending on the time of day that the viewer experiences the work. A lone
viewer will see and hear something different to a group of three or four.

'Fishion' explores memory and secrets. The artist is using new computer
graphics techniques to elicit responses from the viewer. The work is also
concerned with humanity's attempts to organise or regiment nature.
'Fishion' creates an environment where the inhabitants seem to be waiting,
only coming near as the viewer approaches them. The inhabitants apear to be
composed from natural phenomenon such as smoke, water and fire. Chris
acheived these effects using advanced computer animation systems and layers
of digital video.

A web cam will convey the experience on the New Media Scotland website.
'Fishion' is the first of ten Digital Art Commissions supported by New
Media Scotland. Further commissions will occur across Scotland throughout
the year.

Often it is best to post a notice that the painting is on loan.

Marcel Broodthaers did this, in, I believe, Musee des Aigles - all
the paintings were on loan, thus, there was no painting displayed,
but the suggestion of such.

Ann -

It's nice to hear that your 10-year-old son is enthusiastic about the box 
contents. I am responsible for the box's Stone and Water Game. I was a little 
hesitant about signing my name since the pieces should stand on their own 
merit/demerit despite the signature. But I confess, one of the first things I 
did with the box was draw up lists of the contents and the contributors and 
try to connect the two.

I will try to post a longer message soon. Right now my mind is on fire.

FLUXLIST: Re: Fluxlist Box

2000-05-11 Thread allen bukoff

1.  I did the FLUXLIST rubber stamp.  Had the rubber part made and then had 
to cut them out and mount them myself (on curtain-size dowel rods)...which 
is why they happen to have that homemade, "unprofessional" look.

2.  I would love to work on a project like Ann describes.  I've had a 
similar notion of putting together a Fluxus kit (with a blend of old and 
new Fluxus self-performance activities--contributed by a bunch of different 
people) that grade school teachers/art teachers could use to inspire Fluxus 
thinking and perceiving among their adolescent students.  Using this as a 
springboard of examples for getting them to create/design/perform their own 
fluxus activities/boxes/projects could be the natural 
follow-through.  Working through "artist in schools" programs seems like a 
genius way to do it, too.  Although a lot of work, I think something like 
this could be really fun and make a real contribution...to raising the 
general level of creativity in the world.  Not that I'm grandiose...
