Re: FLUXLIST: FLUXUS ANTHOLOGY 2005
Just back from a romantic ride on an old train from New York to Miami and back. TOO many entries to read backwards But, in answer to the previous strains of this particular email..: I did purchase the FLUXUS ANTHOLOGY 2005. When I bought it I played and listened. My head was in a perturbed box of eldervine and I was displeased with the cd and pissed off to boot. Then, after I quit my job I thought I'd give it another try. That lyrically haunting Bottom of the Stairs, which, on first hearing was about 2 minutes too long-- was actually most pleasing, even more so because it had been echoing in my mind in myriad permutation since I'd heard it last. Perhaps it, the song itself, helped transform me to my present state which can be most well defined as PJ: Post Job The time before the teaching Job is now BJ for Before Job, and during is now known as DJ for During Job. In PJ time I have more time-- to listen to things, respond, and even occassionally jam some word or two together to form a complete sentence. So, yes, I LOVED that, then there was bAllAd olo dAllAb, which I enjoyed, familiar and yet not enough recognition for me yet, I know that I will be listening to it again. Perhaps now? No, I'll wait otherwise this brief chat note will turn into another holy friggin novel. ahem.Heat transfer--I could definitely feel it and felt it transfer to me and I don't remember what I did with it then but a nice signifying sound--sweet, Must listen to #70 again--I missed it before I was aware-- I sing Woob Woob all the time Madawg sister honey I hear you Alan's Kitchen--On the first hearing my critical New England pickled cynicism spoke up with an I-can-do--that smugness which we all know is full of holes. (It is like the Woody Allen joke about not wanting to be in a club that would accept me as a member. Its is also why I think all you fluxlisters must be perfectly loathsome creatures. ) So anyway, I was getting into it when I had to go do some chore or other. So that is where we are leaving the review for now--I'll continue later if anyone is interested. I found a new job. suse - Original Message - From: "Rod Stasick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 1:45 PM Subject: Re: FLUXLIST: FLUXUS ANTHOLOGY 2005 > > On 1427 Safar 14, at 12:18 PM, mIEKAL aND wrote: > > > Carol > > > > You should get that library to order a copy of the first fluxlist > > fluxus audio comp as well. > > Ordering info is here (as well as free downloads of the CD) > > > > http://www.xexoxial.org/fluxuations/initiation.html > > > > Yeah!

FLUXLIST: Fwd: [AML] Mail artist use postal system as medium while avoiding envelope
--- Begin Message --- March 10, 2006, 6:07PM Mail artist use postal system as medium while avoiding envelope By EILEEN MCCLELLAND Houston Chronicle BETH Jacobs marvels at her mail. With good reason. She's never sure what might turn up. It could be a pink plastic toy brain or a Pringles can. A glow-in-the-dark alien or a wooden-handled purse. An egg carton or a squishy Halloween- decoration pumpkin head. A license plate or a pizza box. She's found all of them in her West University Place mailbox at some point, with canceled stamps and clearly printed mailing labels. But none arrived in a box. For mail artists, the medium is the postal system. One thing they all have in common? Naked white envelopes make their skin crawl. Jacobs and her correspondents surprise each other with offbeat mail. "We're all so used to going to the mailbox and grabbing a wad of bills, so it's so nice when you go out to your mailbox and you don't know what you're going to find there. Especially when it's something someone has made for you." Another of her treasures, a green plastic hat the kind worn by St. Patrick's revelers who've consumed too much green beer got through the postal system with 43 cents postage. No box. No beer. Often, mail art is about what's not there. It's a conceptual-art movement with no membership, organization or leaders. Mail artists form loose networks, but they're not clubby types. In fact, they tend to abhor formal groups as much as they do an unadorned envelope. Paola Morsiani, curator of the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, said mail art springs from the Utopian idea that everyone can make art and that art connects people all over the world. "What I find interesting is that it's a precursor to Internet art, which also involves making a connection," she says. The Contemporary Arts Museum in 2002 presented an exhibition of the work of Alighiero e Boetti that included his mail-art projects. "It's not something that most artists would specialize in," Morsiani says. "Usually, it's just one form of expression an artist would use." Mark Jetton, manager of Salado Stamp in Salado and a former Houston resident, is one of Jacobs' most faithful correspondents. "We're an odd lot," Jetton says. "Mail art is hard to understand. I'm not so sure it is art; it's probably not good art." One year, around Halloween (prime shopping season for mail artists), Jetton found fake rubber hands and feet at Big Lots and, realizing their potential, bought several of each. "I cut a hole in the box and made the hand come through and I secured it very well, addressed the top of the box, took it to the post office. They oohed and aahed; they couldn't believe it." He also sent a friend awaiting foot surgery a foot version, with toes sticking out of the box. He's been on the receiving end of oddities, too. "I have gotten a coconut in the mail, just a coconut with a label attached," he says. "It was hairy, it was very strange. I don't know what the postman thought." Jacobs and Jetton agree that befriending postal workers is one key to success. "If you know them, you feel like they'll take good care of it," Jetton says. "Once it goes behind that wall they may jump up and down on it for all I know, but I've had very good luck with the mail. People complain about the price of stamps, but to me it's amazing that for 39 cents you can drop a piece of paper in the mail, it goes across the country, and someone else gets to see it a few days later." Well, usually a few days later. It'll generally get to its destination, but there's no guarantee how quickly. A mask Jacobs fashioned from handmade paper and decorated with fringe took three weeks to travel a mile. But it arrived in perfect condition. "I can't show you my very best art, because it's somewhere else on the planet," she says. Part of the fun is entertaining postal workers. "The post office is so boring and regimented and restricted and conformist," Jacobs says. "We like to bust up the routine of the postal workers. White envelopes are just abhorrent to the mail artist's nature." After Sept. 11 and the mail anthrax scare, mail artists tended to get more conservative and follow basic rules in hope of bending them. New York graphic artist Mark Bloch rode one of mail art's waves of popularity in the mid-'70s as a college student at Kent State University in Ohio. Although mail art has influenced his whole career, he says some of the thrill is gone because postal workers are increasingly suspicious. "I used to love to appear at the post office window with five weeks' worth of mail," Bloch says. "There was a whole performance-art aspect to it. Now anything unorthodox they don't want to send it." Bloch recently sold and donated boxes of archived mail art to New York University's Downtown Collection. Most participating artists have similarly large collections of it piled in their homes or studios. Three-dime

FLUXLIST: FW: ETHER: now available
This might be of much interest to many fluxers and spiders-- _Ether: The Nothing That Connects Everything_ is now available. visit www.joemilutis.com for more info and link to buy ETHER~~ Advance praise for _Ether: The Nothing That Connects Everything_: ³Marvelously written, witty and inspiring. A significant and needed contribution to our understanding of the nebulous intersection of technology, subjectivity, spirituality, avant-garde art, and premodern cosmologies² --Erik Davis, author of Techgnosis ³A Sheer delight. It brings together literature, philosophy, history of science, occult studies, music, audio art, film, American studies and poststructuralism with frightening fluidity and sure-footedness. I can think of a number of projects that attempt this far-reaching transdisciplinarity, but none that does it quite this well.² --John Corbett, School of the Art Institute of Chicago ³Milutis is a skilled ringmaster of difficult ideas that might otherwise bite.² --Gregory Whitehead, radio artist www.joemilutis.com Every culture has its own word for this nothing. Synonymous with the idea of absolute space and time, the ether is an ancient concept that has continually determined our definition of environment, our relations to each other, and our ideas about technology. It has also instigated our desire to know something irrepressibly beyond all that. In Ether, the histories of mysticism and the unseen merge with discussions of the technology and science of electromagnetism. Joe Milutis explores how the ideas of Anton Mesmer and Isaac Newton have manifested themselves as the inspiration for occult theories and artistic practices from Edgar Allan Poe¹s works to today. In doing so, he demonstrates that fading in and out of scientific favor has not prevented the ether, a uniquely immaterial concept, from being a powerful force for material progress. Milutis deftly weaves the origins of electrical science with alchemical lore, nineteenth-century industrialism with yogic science, and network space with dreams of the absolute. Linking the ether to phenomena such as radio noise, space travel, avant-garde film, and the rise of the Internet, he lends it an almost physical presence and currency. From Federico Fellini to Gilles Deleuze, Japanese anime to Italian Futurism, Jean Cocteau to NASA, Shirley Temple to Wilhelm Reich, Ether traverses geographical boundaries, spiritual planes, and the divide between popular and high culture. Navigating more than three hundred years of the ether¹s cultural and artistic history, Milutis reveals its continuous reinvention and tangible impact without ever losing sight of its ephemeral, elusive nature. The true meaning of ether, Milutis suggests, may be that it can never be fully grasped. www.joemilutis.com _ On the road to retirement?

FLUXLIST: Baudhuin Simon
This just arrived from the Belgian Mail Artist Guido Vermeulen. Many of you am sure have known of Baudhuin and his wonderful and inventive work--PIG DADA-- Dear Friends, On March 9 Baudhuin Simon, the Belgian mail artist who introduced me to the mail art network in 1993, committed suicide. The news reached me Saturday. I composed a message on "what happened" and posted it on a few Yahoo mail art groups. I would like to share this with all of you: To all mail artists On the suicidal death of Baudhuin Simon: Yes, the news is true. It reached me by a message from his former girl friend on Saturday while I was hosting the arrival of a poet in my flat (Virginia Cubillan, someone I met thru Mark Sonnenfeld, she lives in the USA but is from Venezuela) The contrast between the excitement of meeting someone new thru' the network and the sad announcement of the suicide of Baudhuin (who introduced me to mail art in 1993) was enormous. I took Virginia to see a Puccini opera on Saturday (Le Villi) That opera is on the ghosts of dead people!!! Sunday we traveled to Ostend to attend a concert with the music of Preisner (who wrote the splendid scores for all of Kieslowski's movies) The concert started with a selection of parts of his requiem for a dead friend. It almost felt that PIG DADA was present during the whole weekend. I could tell you lots of things on the circumstances of his act but I refrain myself and prefer to be quiet. It's his choice and the end of his traveling, in this world anyway. The least I can do is respect this. Be well and remember him for what he meant in mail art ...
