Re: FLUXLIST: Seven Telephonic Events

Back to eschatological chic and obscene phone calls?
Try telephony.

Simile.

Fluxus is watching you.

But, really, what, exactly is a cosmic..oh, never mind.

Metaphorically speaking.

Hullo Will,

Good that your living box has flowers, they can really brighten one's day.  Nice
name, Fluxedo Junction, and I like the ethereal ambiguity of your manifesto : )

I can stand, can sometimes look important and I be dancin' most every day, will
participate in your next performance gladly, but will have to do it from
California-by-the-other-sea.  Just let me know the date, time, theme, script,
direction to stand in, or whatever.

But, you first will have to get permission for me to do so from my controlling
entity, the mystic eye.

 i'm trying to make artworks out of my feces by trying
 to eat different kinds of foods and drinking some
 edible coloringsany suggestions what other kinds
 of food that i might eat to produce such a very
 interesting effect on my feces.

 You should ask to Jaques Lizenne, a belgian artist, pope of deceptive art,
who is doing exactly the same work for about twenty five years now.
I'm also thinking to a french painter, now dead, called Gérard Gasiorowski,
who,
through thirty years of research on the possibility for the painting to
survive in a death-of-the-painting-era, passed through a phase where he
sought
to be he own tube of paint. He produced at the end of the seventies, a great
serie of "juices", figurative and primitive shit-paintings on paper, and
another serie he called the "pies", which were some pies cooked in hoven,
made out of his proper shit and aromatic herbs of Provence.

  She
 recounts walking with Picasso thrugh the streets of war time Paris (First
 World War) and seeing camouflaged tanks--
 "we have already done that" Picasso says--in reference to Cubism.
 Likewise Marinetti's Futurist Manifesto (1909) and other
 manifestos, works and actions of Italian Futurism preceded their
appearance
 as military forms, actions--deaths--in the First World War.

I'd add that the french army did asked to modern painters, amongst whom
happened to be cubists painters, like André Mare, to work on the camouflage
of the tanks, and to conceive them in the "camouflage section" of the
Artillery corp as soon as the very beginning of 1915.
On this subject, see the "camouflages" exhibition of 1997 in the Historial
de la Grande Guerre of Peronne.
Avant-garde IS a military term, but cubists were modern painters... not
exactly the same world, isn't it?.

In "Bluebeard" by kirt Vonagunt, The main character, Raboo Karabekien (or 
there abouts) was in a platoon of artists that worked to camouflage tanks 
and trucks and such. Same idea.
