Dear Friends & Fellow Workers--

i was wondering if any one else has read Stewart
Home's book THE ASSAULT ON CULTURE  From Letrrisme to
Neoism and Class War

it has two very interesting chapters on Fluxus and
then moves from there into Mail Art a bit

i first read it about fifteen years ago--is nice to
read it now that am involved for some years with
Fluxlist etc--

(though i do not really consider myself "fluxus" in
the sense i don't care for labels as then one is
stuck, limmited--)

i thought might be interesting for discussions--

he writes in avery aggressive tone--i have also read
one of his novels written in a style i think borrowed
quite a bit from Richard Allen's, whose work is
brought up in ASSAULT--

also i have been going through some things at home re
the Budhist aspects of Fluxus esp in the USA i think
was more interest in this?

Geroge brecht/Dick Higgins' versionn of the T"SING
HSIN MinH (sp, sorry don't have it with me)

also a few months ago i saw the film APOTHEOSIS that
John Lennon and Yoko Ono did--it's a really good film!
is a cmaera sent up in a hot air baloon, what it sees
during its ascent, the views of land beloow--the sky--

the illusion of it being solely the camera aboard the
balloon is shattered when a hand comes into view--so
you know a human or two also aboard--

i thought it was very lovely fiilm, very
meditative--and the views from the ballon made me
thinkof the magnificewnt opening sequence with the
balloon in Tarkovsky's film ANDREI RUBLEV--

if yu ever get a chance to see/rent/borrow etc this--i
would recommend it--

onwo/ards! david-baptiste  the sky here doina fluxus

FLUXLIST: Belated Thank You

Title: Belated Thank You



Sol,

It’s great that you’ve picked up the ball and its good that you’ve also convinced Allen (did he need convincing?) to pass the archive on to you. More than those on the list will appreciate your initiative.

Yes. Stewart is rather controversial in some circles (no jerks).
I'm sure Sol may have a few words to say...

That depends.  Is the person facing the oncoming train or facing away?

Hi all,

Glad to see you like the idea of fluxlist.com

I've just uploaded the first batch of archived sites, more to come, always
more to come. I have a list of what needs doing.

You'll also see documentation for the mp3 based projects we did way back
when. I saved all the documentation from these and this is the first time
these compositions have been made publicly available.

If you remember the URLs of old projects please let me know them...I don't
think I've forgotten anything but you never know.

It's funny to look at these old sites now..they look quite dated..like
getting old clothes out of the wardrobe!

Oh, Cecil thanks for the offer of hosting but I bought 100Mb for this which
should be okay. I just uploaded 27mb of archived sites so I think I should
have enough space for the moment.

Alan, didn't realise you had the old companion site, nevermind the more the
better.

cheers,

Sol.
