Josh, here is my story, my favorite one about how I got into Fluxus via Ken 
Friedman;

I picked up Ken Friedman at the Sioux Falls, South Dakota airport, April 5, 
1975. He didn't say much on the 50 mile drive north to Brookings where I 
lived. As he walked into our kitchen he exclaimed, "Don, you're Fluxus!" He 
had seen pieces of leather tacked to my kitchen wall. -Don Boyd, 5-30-2003

>I think we should be wary of eric's take on fluxus via fluxlist.  he was
very scathing of the fluxlist, dismissing us a 'silly', this he said to me
in person - he was also positive about some of the people involved in it.
Eric's take on Fluxus away from the list should be considered* as a valid
opinion - one of many, many, many opinions held about Fluxus by those
involved, directly of indirectly in it.

eric's take on fluxus is surely now of little relevance to the fluxlist as
he's no longer with us.

FLUXLIST: new fluxus

2003-05-31 Thread alan bowman
last year when i was in new york (was it last year?  chinatown, big
hangover, not my usual sparkling wit, the allen bukoff endurance show ;-) )
emmett williams and rene block were discussing putting together a show of
young artists who work in a fluxus related way, although if my memory serves
me well the work Fluxus was not going to be used.

has anyone heard anything more about this?  Bertrand?

i don't know if it got off the ground, but it would be interesting to see
what william considered suitable.

They did it, and that was the show in wiesbaden in september, where, in
effect, they exhibited lots of young artists. Were those related to Fluxus
or not, is another story...
But I spoke a lot with Emmett about this project on various occasions, and
he was delighted to play such a trick to his old pals!
The funny stuff though, is that Emmett couldn't stand Ken's exhibition Young
Fluxus, and still recalls it 15 years later...

Well, I had 105 messages but that doesn't even come close to the numbers our
Roger is able to pull in.

On the 4th I'm supposed to be closing on a split-level suburban nightmare
house in West Orange, New Jersey (barring further catastrophes - as I was
actually supposed to have closed today).  This house will be the most
expensive thing I've ever owned (and couldn't afford) aside from a very good
pair of Italian leather boots (still have 'em) and my ex-husband (chucked
him 7 years ago).

I've also got to pack up 15 years worth of concentrated "stuff."  An
undertaking that has upped my nicotine and alcohol intake to the power of
10.

In short (too late!) contact me again when you hit Jersey City and see if
I'm still at all still functional.  I'm far beyond hooting and well into
howling.
