FLUXLIST: Fwd: Art Guys collaborate with Houston Symphony
--- Original Message --- From: The Art Guys [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: The Art Guys [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Sent: Wed, 15 Dec 2004 10:45:50 -0600 Subject: Art Guys collaborate with Houston Symphony The Houston Symphony performs Bela Bartók's Duke Bluebeard's Castle conducted by Hans Graf with lighting design by THE ART GUYS ___ Bartók's riveting opera, Duke Bluebeard's Castle, comes to life through innovative lighting design conceived by The Art Guys of Houston. The Art Guys have worked hand-in-hand with Music Director Hans Graf to develop an illumination scheme that will enhance the opera's dramatic storyline. This groundbreaking program uses the musicians' chairs as the lighting medium which, through washes of color, captures the intense psychological nature of the Bluebeard story. In the tale, Duke Bluebeard's new wife, Judith, learns that the seven doors of his castle hide the secrets of his loneliness. Demanding access to the hidden corners of her husband's soul, Judith has the doors opened one by one, revealing far more than she wanted to know. -The Houston Symphony _ The Houston Symphony will also perform Brahms' Symphony No. 3. Performances on Saturday, January 15, 8:00 p.m. Sunday, January 16, 2:30 p.m. Monday, January 17, 8:00 p.m. Jones Hall 615 Louisiana Street Houston, Texas For more information contact The Houston Symphony at 713-224-7575 or visit The Houston Symphony website at http://HoustonSymphony.org For tickets and information call (713) 224-7575 or visit http://houstonsymphony.org. Tickets: $21-$90 Thank you! http://TheArtGuys.com
FLUXLIST: I love this
I think it is finally time for me to kick myself off FLUXLIST. This is all prompted by the irony of the posts below. Owen Smith (a Fluxus art historian and artist) and Ken Friedman (Fluxus artist, theoretician, and general academic) have both declined in the past in their writings, activities, and emails (on and off this list) to definitively declare or promote (with specific examples) the fact that Fluxus has continued to grow, mutate, and flourish way past the original Maciunas-connected group. They will talk about the continuation of the work of the original Fluxus artists and the continuation of the spirit of Fluxus, etc, IN A POSITIVE AND ABSTRACT WAY but don't seem to have the inclination to actually declare or promote any new members or new real estate as being bona fide Fluxus. I'm talking about naming names and championing work. Although neither one has ever supported the Fluxus-died-with-Maciunas school of thought, they have also never extended the she's a a fluxus artist to anyone or any projects outside the original historical group. This is not difficult. Can you say ART GUYS? Or KLONDIKE--http://www.nutscape.com/klondike/? There are a lot more examples. So they have taken the weaselly (in my humble opinion) position that yes Fluxus, oh the spirit of Fluxus, could continue and does in some amorphous abstract way (but am not going to stick my neck out and really include any one or any new activity to be Fluxus...or I am going to be anal and withhold judgment). So now we learn that Owen and Ken have written an article about ongoing Fluxus INFLUENCE...sounds to me like just another way to try to keep attention on OLD Fluxus going...and to use Fluxlist (and some of the great and truly-Fluxus projects that have been done here) and others to do it. Oh, the irony. One last time (maybe): I have always felt that the Fluxus sense/spirit was very open and inclusive and outward directed. When I first started learning about Fluxus it was just one big invitation to play. It was energizing. It still is. Almost everything and everyone having to do with Fluxus and its place in the Art World has been the opposite of that--e.g., Jon Hendricks, Eric Anderson, Ken Friedman's Fluxus Chronology: Key Moments and Events (1960-1996) in the Fluxus Reader. Fluxus in the art world eats itself instead of feeding others. The worst thing that ever happened to Fluxus was calling it Art. Allen Bukoff, PhD P.S. I sound like Brad Brace. I think I need a vacation. I did that analysis for an article I wrote about Fluxlist that Owen and Ken were going to use. I did hear that it was finally going to be published but this was some months ago and I've not heard from Owen since so I assume it's not going to happen. Sol (and the rest of the list) - it is still going to happen - it just all keeps getting pushed back, now it seems that it will be the end of spring or summer of next year (2005). It will be a special issue of Visible Language on Fluxus today as an ongoing artistic form of expression such as that on the fluxlist (not just the historical stuff). Since the issue has come up here as a discussion item let me ask you all a question - I am still looking for a few women artists that see their work as part of the direct heritage of Fluxus. If you know of anyone or want to suggest yourself please email me off list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, Owen
FLUXLIST: more fundamentalism
From 1988 to 1993, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences sponsored an interdisciplinary study known as The Fundamentalism Project, the largest such study ever done. More than 100 scholars from all over the world took part, reporting on every imaginable kind of fundamentalism. And what they discovered was that the agenda of all fundamentalist movements in the world is virtually identical, regardless of religion or culture. The five characteristics are 1) Men rule the roost and make the rules. Women are support staff and for reasons easy to imagine, homosexuality is intolerable. 2) all rules must apply to all people, no pluralism. 3) the rules must be precisely communicated to the next generation 4) they spurn the modern, and want to return to a nostalgic vision of a golden age that never really existed. (Several of the scholars observed a strong and deep resemblance between fundamentalism and fascism. Both have almost identical agendas. Men are on top, women are subservient, there is one rigid set of rules, with police and military might to enforce them, and education is tightly controlled by the state. One scholar suggested that it's helpful to understand fundamentalism as religious fascism, and fascism as political fundamentalism. The phrase 'overcoming the modern' is a fascist slogan dating back to at least 1941.) 5) Fundamentalists deny history in a radical and idiosyncratic way.

FLUXLIST: moving right along (political)
US Supreme Court Justice Anton Scalia Rejects Separation of Church and State http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/112704X.shtml Scalia is a darling of the religious right in the US. He is an increasingly bold rightwing extremist who led the unusual Supreme Court intervention that assigned the US presidency to Bush in 2000. Scalia is widely feared to be Bush's likely appointment to head the Supreme Court when Chief Justice Rehnquist (another piece of righwing work) goes. I don't intend to continue posting about this topic on Fluxlist. Just wanted to add one more reinforcing post just from today's news. And one more quote from a founding father: All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit. -Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason, 1797
Re: FLUXLIST: RE: Happy Thanksgiving
Bertrand and the rest of the list, George Bush. I can barely talk about this subject. It is such an unimaginably awful thing that he has managed to get re-elected. I am very disappointed in my country and very very worried about the future. I think things may be even much worse here (where the politics and culture are going) than anyone really knows. George Bush got people to vote for him in the 2000 election by pretending to be part compassionate and part conservative. It became clear very early on in his illegitimate presidency that he (and his crowd) are a dangerous bunch of religious and political extremists the likes of which have never before had so much power in this country. Because these people are extremely out of touch with reality and blinded by their own ideologies, they launched a number of radical and disasterous projects that are undermining the constitution, the economy, and the security of the United States (let alone the rest of the world). The military attack on Iraq is one of the most sad and obvious monunmental blunders this group has made. The fact that George Bush could actually get re-elected AFTER everyone in the US could SEE how dangerous and incompetent and extremely radical he is, is the most chilling thing I have witnessed in my lifetime. I grew up in the aftermath of World War II and we always wondered how the nice German people let the ugly Nazi's come to power. Now I look at my nice affluent and privledged neighbors with their Bush signs on their lawns and I am worried I now know. There are very ugly forces as work in the US and in the world today. Primary among the evils on this planet are, in my humble opinion, the rightwing religious extremists... I believe in God. I believe in a higher Power. I believe much of my life on this earth is on a spiritual path. I believe it is a completely personal, private and unique journey that needs no religious dogma or organized religion to guide it. I also believe the ugliest force at work throughout the world today is politicized rightwing religious fundamentalism--including but not limited to the rightwing Christian fundamentalists, the rightwing Islamic fundamentalists, and the rightwing Jewish fundamentalists...the religious extremists who seek political power and who want to tell us all how to live (and eat and drink and dress and work and play and make art) and ultimately how to pray. This is the real evil in the world today. George Bush and his group act as a catalyst and as an exponent on this evil formula. It is ironic and sad really. Part of the wonderful mythology we used to tell ourselves here in the US is that many people immigrated here to get away from religious persecution--which always seems to happen when organized dogmatized religions get or cooperate with political power and begin persecuting the heathens. One of the wonderful founding principles of the US constitution is the clear separation of Church and State--the removal of religion from political power and its exercise. There are major forces at work in the US now to overturn this and weld a rightwing Christian fundamentalist view of the world (which is truly ugly and uncompassionate) to the political, military, and economic power of the US. I believe we are now seeing the beginnings of a massive project to clean up culture and advance Christian fundamentalist oppression in the US. God help us ALL.

Re: FLUXLIST: Emily Harvey
This is a very sad and huge loss for Fluxus...for all of us. Emily was very enthusiastic about Fluxus and very open. Emily is the only person in old-school Fluxus I know of who was able to remain friendly with and could bring together all the various warring factions of Fluxus. She also didn't seem to have a strong ideology about whether Fluxus was dead or not (i.e., ended with Maciunas death or not) and encouraged me (and others) to keep doing things under that banner if our hearts were in it. She seemed to be one of the few to try to keep putting her arms around the whole thing. The Emily Harvey Gallery in New York has to be the longest running Fluxus-dedicated gallery in the world (it was one of George Maciunas' early renovations in SoHo) and there will be a big whole in my cosmology of Fluxus without it. And without Emily Harvey. Sail on Emily. A photo of Emily at http://www.nutscape.com/fluxus/emily-harvey-gallery/AY-O/EmilyH.jpg Dear all, I've just found out that Emily Harvey died in Venice on Tuesday 9th after a long illness. I'd kind of lost touch with Emily over the past year which was sad in itself. We didn't always see eye to eye but Emily was a great help to me and provided me with opportunities I'd otherwise only been able to dream of. I shall never forget her. Alan

FLUXLIST: not bukoff vodka
I have this odd hobby. I work with rock bands. I'm not a manager. I don't handle PR. I'm not sure what to call it but I've been doing it since about 1980. I make little novelty items, wearable pins, weird promotional stuff (sometimes with ideas or creative energy stolen from Fluxus). It also fits with some of my work in advertising (developing and managing brands). So I've been working with this interesting band of mothers (not to be confused with a band of brothers), Candy Band, who turn nursery rhymes and kid songs into hard rockers. I've been doing their website for them since they started ( www.candyband.com ) and also have started managing some of their backdrops and stage settings (I have mentioned this on fluxlist before). Mostly I have tried, through the medium of their daily blog and little email manifestoes to get them to think of themselves as being more than just a rock band, but a larger project about EVERYDAY LIFE. So far so good. Today they were featured on a 10-minute segment on NBC's Today Show (big morning time news/events program here in US). You might find it amusing. Your humble servant also appears in this clip for about .35-seconds, in front of a stage backdrop that the kids had just spray painted (I'm the tall kid with a big blue dot on the back of his black t-shirt). While the mom's were unpacking and setting up their equipment, I got their kids (aged 3 - 9) to grab a bunch of spray paint cans and graffiti up the backdrop. Came out pretty cool, but was definitely dicey letting kids that young operate spray paint cans.

Racing and race cars are pretty much the opposite of Fluxus in my own subjective topology of experiences...but there it was, hanging there, for sale in a vendor's booth: a little fluxus-like joke (from roughly the same era as the original Fluxus). Novelties, fluxus, humor, retail-like objects/games. Find it for yourself at http://www.fluxus.org/FluxusNotFluxus/found18.html

We are one of the fluxux but not fluxus guys. Fluxus is Fluxus is Fluxus! Sure the difference is we are comercial but we are different. Take for instance our approach on a fashion label. Starting out with work gear for our crew (Building Rocknroll Shows as Stagehands etc.) we put on a label (fluxus Rocknroll Wear) to sell them to targetgroups having the money to buy it just for fun. This way we offer it at RocknRoll price to people actually working in RocknRoll. A little Robin Hood : Steal it from the rich, give it to the poor. If I am not mistaken a pricipal of fluxus is to take the elite aspect out of art. Real art is not dependent on factors as beeing presented in a museum or an elite environment as art galleries. To us it sounds we are working in the same direction. This was afterall the reasoning behind the companyname fluxus. This beeing said we would like to offer some of the income of the clothes business to support you and to get a prominent link on your site. If you are not maintaining the site we would be interested in reviving it. If you think there is something to it please let us know.

FLUXLIST: Fwd: ARTISTS SUBPOENAED IN USA PATRIOT ACT CASE
in the email today... --- Original Message --- From: CAE Legal Defense Fund [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: allen-fluxus.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Sent: Wed, 2 Jun 2004 20:43:46 -0400 (EDT) Subject: ARTISTS SUBPOENAED IN USA PATRIOT ACT CASE June 2, 2004 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Beatriz da Costa, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ARTISTS SUBPOENAED IN USA PATRIOT ACT CASE Feds STILL unable to distinguish art from bioterrorism Grand jury to convene June 15 HELP URGENTLY NEEDED - SEE BELOW Three artists have been served subpoenas to appear before a federal grand jury that will consider bioterrorism charges against a university professor whose art involves the use of simple biology equipment. The subpoenas are the latest installment in a bizarre investigation in which members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force have mistaken an art project for a biological weapons laboratory (see end for background). While most observers have assumed that the Task Force would realize the absurd error of its initial investigation of Steve Kurtz, the subpoenas indicate that the feds have instead chosen to press their case against the baffled professor. Two of the subpoenaed artists--Beatriz da Costa and Steve Barnes-- are, like Kurtz, members of the internationally-acclaimed Critical Art Ensemble (CAE), an artists' collective that produces artwork to educate the public about the politics of biotechnology. They were served the subpoenas by federal agents who tailed them to an art show at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. The third artist, Paul Vanouse, is, like Kurtz, an art professor at the University at Buffalo. He has worked with CAE in the past. The artists involved are at a loss to explain the increasingly bizarre case. I have no idea why they're continuing (to investigate), said Beatriz da Costa, one of those subpoenaed. It was shocking that this investigation was ever launched. That it is continuing is positively frightening, and shows how vulnerable the PATRIOT Act has made freedom of speech in this country. Da Costa is an art professor at the University of California at Irvine. According to the subpoenas, the FBI is seeking charges under Section 175 of the US Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, which has been expanded by the USA PATRIOT Act. As expanded, this law prohibits the possession of any biological agent, toxin, or delivery system without the justification of prophylactic, protective, bona fide research, or other peaceful purpose. (See http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/175.html for the 1989 law and http://www.ehrs.upenn.edu/protocols/patriot/sec817.html for its USA PATRIOT Act expansion.) Even under the expanded powers of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is difficult to understand how anyone could view CAE's art as anything other than a peaceful purpose. The equipment seized by the FBI consisted mainly of CAE's most recent project, a mobile DNA extraction laboratory to test store-bought food for possible contamination by genetically modified grains and organisms; such equipment can be found in any university's basic biology lab and even in many high schools (see Lab Tour at http://www.critical- art.net/biotech/free/ for more details). The grand jury in the case is scheduled to convene June 15 in Buffalo, New York. Here, the jury will decide whether or not to indict Steve Kurtz on the charges brought by the FBI. A protest is being planned at 9 a.m. on June 15 outside the courthouse at 138 Delaware Ave. in Buffalo. HELP NEEDED Financial donations: The CAE Defense Fund has so far received over 200 donations in amounts ranging from $5 to $400. This is a wonderful outpouring of sympathy, but a drop in the bucket compared to the potential costs of the case. To make a donation, please visit http://www.caedefensefund.org/ Letters of support: Letters and petitions of support from biologists, artists, and others, especially those in positions of responsibility at prominent institutions or companies, could be very useful. See http://www.caedefensefund.org/ for a sample letter of support. Legal offers and letters of support: If you are a lawyer, offers of pro bono support or offers to write amicus briefs would be very helpful. BACKGROUND Early morning of May 11, Steve Kurtz awoke to find his wife, Hope, dead of a cardiac arrest. Kurtz called 911. The police arrived and, after stumbling across test tubes and petri dishes Kurtz was using in a current artwork, called in the Joint Terrorism Task Force. Soon agents from the Task Force and FBI detained Kurtz, cordoned off the entire block around his house, and later impounded Kurtz's computers, manuscripts, books, equipment, and even his wife's body for further analysis. The Buffalo Health Department condemned the house as a health risk. Only after the Commissioner of Public Health for New York State had tested samples from the home and announced there was no public
FLUXLIST: Wolverines and badgers. Holy Toledo, Batman!
No, MIchigan is the Wolverine state. More on Wolverines at http://www.wolverinefoundation.org/. More on Badgers at http://www.badgers.org.uk/links/. I think we can all agree that Wolverines are a lot more interesting and exotic than badgers. Indian mythology describes the wolverine as a trickster-hero, and a link to the spirit world. Perhaps unrelated, or perhaps not, is the historical fact that Michigan (the trickster Wolverine) in a deal with Ohio (the Buckeye State whose official animal is the White-Tailed Deer) took the upper part of Wisconsin (the Upper Peninsula) away from Wisconsin in exchange for giving Toledo to Ohio. If you badger someone in Wisconsin about this, they usually just shrug their shoulders.

Re: FLUXLIST: non arriving posts
alan (misspelling) as you know, no one around here has the energy to censor anything (unless we get really really pissed off). Is it possible that you were sending email messages from an email address that is not subscribed to FLUXLIST? Majordomo isn't smart enough to recognize you in any other guise than your officially-subscribed address (although if we had a breathalyzer function, then you'd be set). I used to cull the bounce emails for these kind of mistakes and then post them back to the list (with the secret approval process that is forgotten more than it is cherished), but there is just so much goddamn spam these days that I have given up. All bounced, funny/irregular emails go to the trash, never to see the light of day. There is also another possibility...sometimes my own junk/trash mail filters put a legitimate post TO fluxlist into my junk mail folder (which theoretically I should review before deleting to catch these glitches but do not). This actually happened with the secret fluxus/what-is-the-purpose emails. The only reason I figured out I was not getting those posts in my IN box here (and went looking for them and found them in my junk email folder) is because the replies to them made me realize I hadn't seen the originals. So there. I have been one of the most patient people I know about email spam...but the recent explosion has introduced noticeable error into my email-catchingreading world and it is starting to wear me down. Now, back to your missing emails to fluxlist, alan. I am really eager to read them so please repost. I can only imagine that they are better than the ones we've been getting from you lately.

The other image is a Perpetual Fluxfest poster, featuring Vagina Painting! and Yoko Ono's name at the top of the listing. I think it's from 1965.

The artist behind The Stairway at St. Paul's movie that I recently posted about contacted me and has filled in some more information about this movie. Cool. His website also says he had to practice singing the song backwards for 3 months before being able to make his film. -Allen Date: Fri, 2 Apr 2004 05:33:33 -0800 (PST) Subject: FLUXLIST: The Stairway at St. Paul's From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Allen, greetings from the guy from Holland. I found your message on the web after Google-ing. The St.Paul's Cathedral we talk about in my video is in London, UK. And yes, I agree with you that the video is funny but actually is more than just that. It did indeed all start with the idea of subliminal, backmasked messages in rock-and-roll recordings. It was quite a serious and crazy project, which meant I needed to approach it with humour in order to make it watchable for people. I am still very proud of the project. Check my website if you are interested: www.jeroenofferman.com ps. i am not too technical and unfortunately the site still doesn't show up when people type my name in google. If you know how to change this and how to be of help, please do so. Also, if you would like to make a link to your Fluxus-website, do so. Yours sincerely, Jeroen Offerman
FLUXLIST: The Stairway at St. Paul's
Okay, this isn't exactly traditional Fluxus, BUT...I saw a really cool film at the Ann Arbor Film Festival winners review last night (The Stairway at St. Paul's). It was one of those brilliant ideas that is extra brilliant because it is a simple idea (like some of my favorite Fluxus objects and works). Some Dutch guy, Jeroen Offerman, filmed himself singing Stairway to Heaven in front of the public steps to a St. Paul's Cathedral (in the Netherlands?). He does a really good and sincere job of singing the song. Only he recorded himself singing it BACKWARDS (in time to the Led Zeplin accompanying track which is also being played backwards). Ok, so far so good. Now follow this: he plays his 8 minute movie backwards...meaning that in the movie the the guy sounds like he is singing the song forwards only everything else in the movie (mostly curious pedestrians walking behind him on the sidewalk) are all moving backwards. It produces a really captivating effect. Most people seemed to find it humorous and film did get one of the festival awards for Funniest Film, but I found it much more interesting than that. I watched it intently for it's entire 8 minutes. Seeing someone moving and talking backwards is an amusing effect we have all seen before. But this guy manages to be in sync with a rhythm and sound track that is flowing perfectly forward...yet there are plenty of subtly odd movements and clipped words and expressions (and a backward Dutch accent!) that kept my attention quite riveted. AND OF COURSE IT IS A WONDERFUL PLAY ON THE OLD BACKWARDS MESSAGES SUBLIMINAL SATANIC ROCK idea (e.g., http://www2.memlane.com/jmilner/stairwaybackwards.htm ) ...only he manges to turn it all perfectly on its head. Okay, I just googled this film and it appears, as usual, I am late to the party. This film has already gotten some coverage in the Village Voice and elsewhere. Nevermind. But do see it when you get a chance. Historical note: I believe Maciunas sent some of the earliest Fluxus films in to the Ann Arbor Film Festival ... so there is this thin connection here. Allen

And it isn't fair because I KEPT the relevant emails and information. sorry to post this to the list... ...but... who is it that's organising this student mail art thing? is it amy? sorry i deleted the relevant mails (good eh!?) and i would like some more info. i recieved 2 very nice things in the post this week hoorah! alan

First I am proud to announce that the site is updated and ready to be viewed- http://www.obsessiveconsumption.com Some highlights for the past weeks...lots of airport imagery and just the start of featuring ridiculous thesis show material purchases (astroturf! Faux wood contact paper, pink air fresheners!). +++SPEAKING OF THESIS SHOW+++ Obsessive Consumption: The Death of Market Research April 19th - 28th Opening reception: April 23rd - 6-8 EistentragerHoward Gallery University of Nebraska, Lincoln I am making fancy invites. If you would like to receive one in the mail please send me your mailing address so you can celebrate this special day in your own personal way. Ha! Anyway. I mean it. I want to send out mail.

I have a job. Next fall I will be an assistant professor of Graphic Design at Mississippi State. But don't think you have heard the last of me. I have big plans for new projects and I will make sure to keep all of you in the loop. That is if you want to be. I would be sad if you left at this point. WE HAVE ALL BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH!!!

FLUXLIST: Sally Timmis Dissertation Hi-Red Center Fluxus
in the email today ... From: Sally Timmis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 17 Mar 2004 17:47:05 + You asked to know a little bit about my Fluxus research. I've only just started out really, but what I'm trying to find out more about is the Japanese Fluxus people and their work - what sort of 'art' or not art was going on in Japan at the time, what the Japanese Fluxus people were involved with apart from Fluxus, what they might have been informed by, artistic or non-artistic and how this fitted in to or with Fluxus as a whole. I'm trying to find out some more about Hi-Red Center at the moment, if anybody can tell me anything about their actual Fluxus involvement, I'd be very glad to hear from them. You might be wondering why I want to spend a lot of time thinking about Fluxus? Ever since I discovered Fluxus through a Yoko Ono exhibition in 1996, I just loved how interactive the work could be, how I could be involved with works like the Wish Tree where everyone just wrote a wish and tied it to a tree, how I could make up my own versions of Events, how the work was quite often funny and didn't seem to mind me laughing at it. Since I found out more about other Fluxus people and their work, I really liked the attitude of participation and non-exclusiveness. Even though this didn't work with everyone all of the time, it seems to be an attitude that most if not all Fluxus people aspired to at least in some ways, and I like it a lot. Does anybody know of any Fluxus performance things or get-togethers of people that like Fluxus that are taking place anytime soon? It would be really lovely to meet some other people that like Fluxus too. Sally Sally Kawamura Glasgow University Scotland UK

FLUXLIST: Fluxboxes
Did someone say Fluxbox? Suse, We FLUXLISTers have produced a number of collaborative projects. Perhaps the most ambitious have been our two Fluxbox projects--a bunch of Fluxlisters send 50 or more identical (?) objects to an organizer/distributor who sorts them into 50 containers (Fluxboxes) and sends the mix back out to the original contributors and others. Sort of in form if not the spirit of the early Maciunas Fluxbox Editions ... which I have always thought were very cool. The first FLUXLIST Fluxbox was organized and distributed by Owen Smith Sol Nte and can be viewed here: http://www.fluxus.org/FLUXLIST/box1/boxfram.html . The second Fluxbox project was initiated last year (?) and organized by Crispin Webb and Don Boyd (yes?), and is being manufactured distributed by Crispin Webb. Chris, do we have a website showing the items in this box or any plans for such a site? Allen And as long as we're at it, I am still intrigued by this ad for a commercial version of an avant-garde box from the 60's: http://www.nutscape.com/60s/ Anybody on the list ever run across one of these?

Re: FLUXLIST: Send Bush to the Moon in 2004
Owen, I don't think I should do Cafepress because the idea/slogan isn't mine. I picked the idea/phrase up somewhere on the internet a couple of weeks ago and can't remember where (I read a lot of political blogs). Also, I suspect most FLUXLISTERS tend to be good Do-It-Yourself folks about stuff like this. I've also been making nice little refrigerator magnets of the same text graphic (again, ink-jet printable magnet paper is not difficult to find, although somewhat expensive) and have now uploaded the 8-inch x 10-inch master image to my Send Bush To The Moon webpage if anyone wants to make little magnet posters, too. FLUXLISTER Bibiana Padilla Maltos sent me their anit-Bush t-shirt image and you can now find that at http://www.nutscape.com/Bush2004/bibiana.html [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Make your own t-shirt. http://www.nutscape.com/Bush2004/ Allen this is great! - you should also set up an account with cafepress ( http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/ ) for those who are not DIY people so that they can buy a pre-made one you could also throw in a nice graphic of this event in process (yea). If anyone else out there does not know of them it is a great way to get art/multiples out there with a minimum amount of front end cost. I have two accounts with them ( http://www.cafeshops.com/rhouse and http://www.cafeshops.com/helpken ) and am planing more. . . . Owen
FLUXLIST: Fwd: Henry Flynt The Insurrections
in the email today... From: rod stasick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Henry Flynt The Insurrections Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2004 13:50:02 -0600 To: allen bukoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, Allen! Another goodie release for you to know about (and pass on to others if you like). This is available from Forced Exposure: FLYNT THE INSURRECTIONS, HENRY: I Don't Wanna CD (LOCUST 39CD). Our man Flynt shatters the categories once again with this surprise collection of his short lived basement rock protest band, The Insurrections, from 1966. Let there be no doubt in anyone's mind: Flynt's version of protest music isn't your cultural-commissar school of folk posturing. It's agro and Flynt is an unhinged showman on helium induced vox and the electric guitar (his teacher was none other than Lou Reed). Imagine a mix of Sky Saxon (of Seeds fame) with a dash of Roky Erickson thrown in on vocals, a little bit of the Cramps' scary monster dramatics thrown in for good measure the swamp chugalug laziness of vintage Pussy Galore and you get an idea what Flynt was up to at this phase in his non-career. Features legendary sculptor Walter De Maria on drums, confirming our hidden suspicion that in every great artist there's a desire to rock beneath every fine gallery, there is a basement. Photos by George Maciunas. $14.00 Rod --- Now playing: Smart Went Crazy - A Good Day Three days after his burial in 1809, Haydn's head was stolen from his grave by two Viennese officials, one of them the secretary of Haydn's longtime employer Prince Esterhzy. Though the Esterhzy family later tried to bring the grave robbers to justice, police pursued the matter only halfheartedly, and one of the thieves even exhibited the skull in his salon. At the time, skull shape was thought to be closely related to genius in some way. The skull was not reunited with the rest of Haydn's body until 1954.

Re: FLUXLIST: RE: Meeting Alan Bowman
you know, if roger where going to meet allen bukoff, none of this would be necessary - in fact it would be pointless. on my last meeting with 'dad', we met, he said 'hello again', i opened my mouth to reply and bukoff carried on talking, chiefly about himself, this continued for several hours, and then we went home! and was it not the most enlightening episode in your besotted life?

Do not be alarmed about the fluxus in my basement--no worry no blame, and certainly no one could be guilty--why the opposite--I thank whoever left the fluxus, if not the sly Mix-it-up-chappie then who or whatever. Of course, it was quite a shock finding it there, propped by the plumbing in such an innocuous way. I plan to return to the basement this evening and try again to photograph--it just keeps fluxing. Also -- I keep feeling the sense that it is communicating something. I will update you upon my return. Please, let any fluxster you know that I am not at all upset at this--I do not intend to sue for instance for storage fees or what have you. It is actually good timing because I have a few days off from work and can direct proper attention to it. suse From: allen bukoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: suse [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 02, 2004 6:06 PM Subject: Fwd: RE: FLUXLIST: Okay, fess up!

The fluxster who left the fluxus in the basement--came forth after a single broadcast to the proper source! It will be interesting to discover how your fluxus got in my basement! Was it through some association? Or did you leave it here while spying on my arts? Did someone act as intermediary unbeknownst to either of us?As I have experienced the 6-degrees on several occasions, if not 1-degree, I am sure I can track down the culprit. Still working on the photos, quite difficult to capture. Of course, if you wouldn't mind telling me why your fluxus is in my basement, I'd be satisfied to know.

I first performed this event on New Year's Eve 1975-1976, calling from Springfield, Ohio forward to Dick Higgins, Christo, and Nam June Paik in New York, then back to Tom Garver and Natasha Nicholson in California. I have performed this work every year since then, frequently calling Tom Garver, Peter Frank, Newton and Helen Harrison, Abraham Friedman and the late Dick Higgins. For New Year's of 1992-1993 I used telefax for the first time in performing this work. I sent telefax messages with the score to Christo and Jeanne-Claude Christo, Peter Frank, Abraham and Shirley Friedman, Dick Higgins, Hong Hee Kim-Cheon, Choong-Sup and Yeong Lim, Karen and David Moss. Over the past decade, increasingly large numbers of people have been performing this event using email.

FLUXLIST: Fluxlist Cookbook - How to boil water
Here's a submission I would like to make to the Fluxus Cookbook: How to Boil Water: A Simple Recipe INGREDIENTS: Water THINGS I NEED: Large Pot STEPS: 1. Fill large pot 1/2 full with water 2. Put pot on a large burner on your stove. 3. Turn burner knob to high. 4. Wait until water boils (water boiling when large bubbles are rapidly coming to the top of the water). 5. It's ready! Actual recipe from How To Boil Water http://geocities.com/howtoboilwater/index.htmlFrom I've been exploring the whole Do-it-yourself/how-to-do-it realm lately and have become enamored with the instructions and recipes that exist for doing the simplest things...vibrates my Fluxus tuning fork. Also remarkable how difficult (if not impossible) it is to give complete and fool-proof instructions for even the simplest things (e.g., lots of situational variations or complications not covered in above recipe...like not having a stovelike altitude...like what exactly are large: bubbles?). I haven't forgotten the Fluxlist Cookbook. Hopefully next year.sorry for the drag-on factor :) cheers, Sol.
