FLUXLIST: art and emotions
i was relaying today's fluxlist notes on controlling/directing emotions to david chirot, and he wanted to join in on the conversation with a current favorite quote, this from camus - "the rebel": "Art disputes reality but does not hide from it."

Re: FLUXLIST: fondness
to everyone mentioning, remembering patricia today thank you so much. the memories, first/last notes, pictures and pages --- i'm finding them essential to finding any "meaning" at all in these days something to do with GOING AT life, one way or the other? the dignity in that --- in someone like patricia/ princess petal i was not recalling the exact day, but the mood of first hearing about her death it was very good to see the first note on remembering her today and all the follow-ups how we honor her and something that goes on, for sure within us (and within all the silliness/play/struggle so i look at the glimmer of her dance upon the sky, look at sky outside my window, suddenly in the dark of pre-solstice i CAN see that light, it moves and tiniest gem/glow hey, i'll take that as "hello" from patricia! and hello to/from you all, whatever struggle/joy the season finds you dealing with and man i sure DO hope she somehow KNOWS how much we miss and need her now!!! towards that level of communication, greetings all --- nancy
Re: FLUXLIST: FLUXLIST BOX #2?
perfect way to start the new year, yes. please include me and i'd have to ditto everything meryl says here: I'm in, but I joined the list after the first FluxList box so I'm sketchy onthe details (if any).I adore the FluxList for Dummies idea, in any format. NBB (nancy burr)
Re: FLUXLIST: More ideas about the box
theme of CONTAINERS would be great! with all the definitions/suggestions of "contain" "containment" . conceptual art of "no enclosure" etc nbb - Original Message - From: allen bukoff Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 11:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: FLUXLIST: More ideas about the box I'm enjoying this box discussion so much I'm thinking it might be interesting to make "containers" the theme of this project.

FLUXLIST: Fluxus Ideas & THANK YOU ALL
"yeah I did- you're right I am an idiot-oh well iguess that explains why I,m
on teh FLuxlist"
lovelywon my heart with that one, you did! (and m.l. -- allowance for
'teh' is a GEM in my life!!)
AND so many thanks to all who've responded at length and with heart /
thoughtfulness on all "sides" of the mighty dilemma of fluxlist and
how we're each trying to GET AT ideas and art and our own
efforts/wants/needsways of trying to SEE/and ACT differently
i'm (obviously) in the 'let it be' realm of the list i like the daily
DAYNESS alertness-to-nowness that has evolved here(feel wanting to
mention princess petal here and don't really know how, but she mattered so
much to lots of us)
and honor the history of history ( as my 12 yr old/then son said,
looking at my high school year book: i really like HISTORY)
i guess i just want it ALL in the varying forms of this realm of balking
at art world rules, yet knowing there are links (in no way predictable!)
that we would have aplenty if we could have more irreverence of (art as)
commodity and/or making a living (big issue, that) and could let go to
PLAY some joy of art in the very making of artin getting lost ??
as if in conversation?
which leads me back to such appreciation of ones on list speaking of
fluxus/art/all-these-attempts as a conversation sometimes: yeah!
spark! here-we-go sometimes .. (notes like this!).
i want ALL the thoughtsof many and of every and am grateful to the
elasticity of this list because i do think it is an allowancethat is
not found in too many other places
and i'd have to say that's how i "define" fluxus who/how/what
mood/under what influence are YOU in just this moment? can it be
formed into something of value to any others? share a way of paying
attention ("this is my life: i pay attention") to THIS? (or that
scrap of paper under your foot, how whatever you were drinking just spilled
in such a fascinating way onto the slip of paper with essential information
written in b-l-u-rr-i-n-g ink at side of keyboard)
oh just hello and thanks.

FLUXLIST: crispin!!!! & all you others THANK YOU
"A GALLERY of drawings and objects made last year that ive never really shown anyone. crispin" oh man, keep showing us! what i'd like most: a daily dose --- like morning delivery of newspaper --- of these objects with that crispin touch or i will take each page of that newspaper and paint it over waxen white? makes WAY more sense. and makes me realize howcertain ones just have a way of transforming to alert us to the daily wonder: A1 metals -- yr savoring of oddest metal objects db chirot -- just about anything goes magic!! ANY bowman letter was it bukoff's "stick garden" ?--- and the terrific candy band work!!! too many others of you to say --- oh, please keep saying!!! --- cuz truly --- some of us are quiet--- but we NEED you, and in oddest ways we spread the word the energy the joy -- appreciation to you all --- please know it keeps on moving, making most wonderful mess!!or messy meaningful motionor what do i mean , i only know I MEAN IT!!! (thanks) nancy/nbb
