Alan, I have absolutely no complaints, or at least no legitimate ones. Thanks for posting it. The image in question is me wearing a George Maciunas mask (from a Peter Moore photo) sent to me by the New England mail-art Fluxist Steve Random from the Fluxmass at Rutgers last year. He has always been willing provide me with fun and amusing Fluxrelics from various Fluxfests he's attended over the years. I've made a stampsheet from the image. Anyone on Fluxlist who wants one (they're not printed yet), just send your postal address off-list and I'll be happy to send one on in a week or two.

Re: FLUXLIST: Is it art?
Don, I suppose it's art in the same way that a sign from which some letters have fallen off making the sign's message incoherent is a found poem. Reed Altemus I received several items in the mail recently. This morning I looked at them and then stacked them all together to take to my truck. As I looked down two of them fell open. One was a color photography book by Robert Hirsch, "Exploring Color Photography," and on the back cover was a photo of a large moth. Next to that photo was the cover of a "Birds and Blooms, " magazine with a similar moth, in color so that it appeared as if it was another page of the same book/magazine. It gave me quite a shock or as Picasso would say, "A leap in the imagination." Was this art? -Don Boyd

Also Suse tell me more about this show, it sounds very interesting even if it did not happen this time. Owen As evidenced by the existence of this publication Fluxus is increasingly becoming the object of scholarly consideration. In the last ten years there have been an ever-increasing number of exhibitions, journal publications and even books on Fluxus. In light of this growing recognition and attention I would suggest that we should ask ourselves, "What is the nature of the information that we are gaining and at what expense is this knowledge being accrued?" It may seem peculiar to suggest that the acquisition of knowledge about Fluxus and the construction of a history of Fluxus is somehow detrimental, but I believe that this is often the case and I would therefore argue that we must consider not only the particulars through which a history of Fluxus might be developed but also what such a process does to our awareness/understanding of Fluxus or even to Fluxus itself. There are two principal concerns which should be addressed: the first is that many of the traditional accepted

what about a plain white cardboard box with a small label plain enough to look nice - if you didn't like it plain you could colour it in! because this project will collect a lot of VERY different pieces from very different people with very different sensibilities, perhaps the container should just be that - a container - something to keep the pieces in, an integral part of the whole, yet not a distraction or an additional piece.? i think that no matter what we come up with there may be problems - it's a random project - so many different things will turn up that no one type of container may suit all a lucky dip bag?

They are so obvious I need not mention them. >cecil my point wasn't necessarily the trendy side of it, but more how a paint can is loaded - it's a fairly obvious cliche' when people ask me about my art, they invariably ask me what i paint - when i reply that i do not paint, i'm often faced with a blank stare - 'what? you make art but you don't paint! what do you sculpt then?' !!! cans have been used to package all sorts of novelty items - so i guess there's no difference in putting art in them. but i still thing that a paint can is too specific - over time it still remains a paint can. as far as the effect of accumulating finger prints etc - then that may make the can a piece in its own right - the contents are no longer that necessary, they are certainly not related to the process being undertaken by the ageing of the can. what is the obvious message behind a box? a cigar box even - i may or not contain cigars, i may have contained cigars - winston churchill smoked cigars, and he was a painter, as was his great enemy adolf hitler. see we're back to the painters again! i just think that a paint can is too obvious, and a little twee - but, this after all, is only an opinion cin cin alan

(are you with me ? no? oh well!) with a series of collective 'semi-themed' (i.e all texts, all images etc) the containers could be more specific and for want of a better word 'obvious'. instructions on the classic index cards, drawings in a book, electronic media could still be incorporated through cds, website links also. just a thought cheers alan FreeformFreakout Organisation www.freeformfreakout.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] driven by apathy

i'm going go out on a limb herebut i'm not sure about the paint can. i'm worried that it may become, for want of a better term, too 'arty'. a paint can is much more of an 'object' in it's own right, there is a very obvious reference to painting (ok, so more so housepainting - but painting the same) and stick a label on it suggesting that it's an artistic project then it gets even more obvious. as an image/object, i think that a paint can is pretty heavily loaded. it may also say a pretty basic 'hey look i'm a groovy little art thing, arent i cute/cool' it may also end up looking like something from a trendy home store - you know cushion/puzzle/game/sheep/inflatable chair/farting jelly in a can.. for me a box is much more 'anonymous' - boxes are used to hold multitudes of different things paint cans tend to hold, well erm paint... anyway i'm surrounded by kids here at the moment, not exactly conducive to this sort of mailing so anyway that's my opinion anyway... ho hum alan chucking a spaniel in the works since 1997 or 8 (we don't remember) FreeformFreakout Organisation www.freeformfreakout.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] driven by apathy

hi, tartarugo i'll pass on the review to henry, i'm sure he'll be interested to see it. i just listened to the very same disc only yesterday and i like it too. i can also recommend "graduation and other new country and blues music" (www.ampersand.com) and there's another, the name of which has completely escaped me (oops) however, i'm booked in to work with henry over the next couple of weeks, it may be nice to interview him about the music - if anyone would be interested in knowing any more. i don't know, what do you think peoples? any questions? i think i'd like to do it anyway, it'll give me a break from scanning photos anyway.

FLUXLIST: II: Emmett Williams at Anthology Film Archives
Emily Harvey Gallery 537 Broadway at Spring New York NY 10012 tel: 212 925 7651 fax: 212 966 0439 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Jonas Mekas & Emily Harvey Present: Emmett Williams, Fluxus artist and poet, will give a rare American performance of his building poem, The Boy and the Bird. The piece consists of twenty-one nouns, nine candles, and ninety slides. The text was written by the artist in 1969. It takes 45 minutes to perform. As the piece expands with the gradual introduction of the nouns, the moving shadows cast by the progressive lighting of the candles allow the listener to conjure their own personal imagery from the forms in the shadows surrounding the artist. The fluid metamorphosis of words and shadows are accompanied by the ninety projected images. These images follow the structural development, according to Williams, but correspond only incidentally, or accidentally, to the text. As Emmett himself said of The Boy and the Bird What I have in mind is an interpretative free-for-all on the part of the performer, utilizing all his vocal skills, including real laughter, and real tears.

Emily Harvey Gallery 537 Broadway at Spring New York NY 10012 tel: 212 925 7651 fax: 212 966 0439 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE EMMETT WILLIAMS STORY LINES April 10 - May 4, 2002 tuesday - saturday 11 - 6pm opening reception: wednesday april 10 . 6 - 8pm Emmett Williams returns to New York City and the Emily Harvey Gallery with Story Lines, an exhibition of recent verbal/visual collages that reflect a personal tradition which first took shape in the early 1960s with a group of Hieroglyphics for Do It-Yourself Translations. The artist and poet describes these pieces as finding their source in a vast collection of old fashioned decals transfer pictures depicting life and lore galore in France and her colonies, some of them dating back to the first world war and beyond - to which he offers new life and adventure as the cast of characters in a world of cryptic narrative. Its also a world in which they make the acquaintance of the personal images of little Fluxus people, a constant hallmark of Emmett Williams work. As always, these little Fluxus people are quite surprising, since they seem so very low-brow so intimate in a world of far more peregrine riddles, and of far more philosophical procedures. Each of the collages is completed by a phrase that helps it make sense, while also making it clear that although meaning is something our minds require, actual experience may not supply it, and at times may even deride it. Willaims was born in Greensboro, South Carolina, in 1925, and was one of the original points of lights in the Fluxus constellation espied by George Maciunas in the early 1960s. He was a participant in 1962 at the first famous Fluxus Festival on New Music in Wiesbaden, Germany. Before that time, however, he was already well know as a Concrete Poet. If that mix seems odd, its odder still that Williams activities have always belied that touch of something doctrinaire which hovers in the air near these terms. As a performer, hes also known to reach astounding levels of lyricism,and a kind of erotic calm. Williams has lived most of his life in Europe. After his discharge from the Army in 1946, he worked his way to Poland and Greece on cattleboats. Graduating from Kenyon College in 1949, he went to Paris, and remained in Europe for seventeen years. His friendship and collaboration with Daniel Spoerri, Dieter Roth, Robert Filliou and other European artists began in the 1950s. Williams returned to the United States as editor-in-chief of Dick Higgins Something Else Press in New York. In 1976 he toured Japan with his friend and Fluxus colleague, Ay-O, and returned to Tokyo a decade later as a artist in residence at the Machida-shi Museum of Graphic Art, living at the Ryodenji Temple. He was artist in residence and research fellow at the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard University from 1977 until his return to Europe in 1980. Williams lives in Berlin, performs and exhibits widely throughout Europe, and is president of the international Artistss Museum in Lodz, Poland. In 1997 the prestigious Brerlinische Galerie awarded him the first Hannah Hoch Prize for a lifetime of achievement in the arts. His Anthology of Concrete Poetry (1967) is considered one of the best guides to the innovations and experiments in visual and concrete poetry. And John Updike wrote of the pleasure and wonderment that Williams Selected Shorter Poems (1974) gave him. Williams autobiographical My Life in Flux And Vice Versa was published in 1992 by Thames & Hudson. Mr Fluxus, a collective portrait of George Maciunas edited by Williams and his wife, the English artist Ann Noel, was published in 1997, also by Thames & Hudson

What do you want to achieve from these conjurations. Why do you need > to adhere to something? Why is identification with some kind of mythology so > important to you? I think this is an interesting question. There is a great deal of mythology which has been built up around Fluxus - those of us who weren't there have to rely on the word of those who were. This list consists of a great majority of people who weren't there, a few of whom are arguing the right to be associated (possibly only by name) to Fluxus If they so wish. I am neither for nor against this, but i am curious as to why. If i call my work 'neo-dada', of 'post-modernmidlifecrisiscomeearlyist' nobody will give a shit but if i claim it to be fluxus, all hell breaks loose (in this small arena anyway) (NB i am not a fluxus artist and i do not produce fluxus/ist/ish work. I do admit that at once i thought i did. now i dont feel the need to label it - sometimes, actually, a lot of the time its probaly better if i kep it to myself) anyway, where was I? oh yes "Why is identification with some kind of mythology so > important to you?" perhaps this is a good point for discussion. I have had the good fortune to meet many of the surviving "originals" and some "later arrivals" and heard their views first hand, reminiscences, memories etc. At no point has anyone talked about this wonderful "Fluxustime". Sure, things were new, fun, interesting,whatever, but perhaps history and writers have built a myth from a reletively mundane story. I don't know. alan

FLUXLIST: Customs raid Fluxbox
Just letting everyone know that I've received the Fluxlist-box (Am I the last?) I suspect the reason it took so long to get to me (apart from being on the opposite side of the globe) was because Australian customs felt it necessary to open it up and look for contraband and/or to charge me for duty. I doubt that customs would have understood what was within. They didn't even bother repacking everything back into the box. I suspect they broke the cigarette candy thinking it was drugs. Apart from that everything seems to be in order. I thank all those who took part in the project, and especially those who put it together, a sterling effort. Im still to explore all of its content. All the best, Nick Potter
