Re: FLUXLIST: An Historical Atlas of Fluxlist - Proposal
Never one to be able to withstand peer pressure, I too will scribble for the cause. And what's all this about a mouldering badger?! Probably a member of my family BG From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed Nov 02 07:12:46 CST 2005 To: FLUXLIST@scribble.com Subject: FLUXLIST: An Historical Atlas of Fluxlist - Proposal An Historical Atlas of Fluxlist Fluxlist has effectively evolved into a small community, an example of the 'global village' at its most, well villagy (sp?). Village elders and village idiots, friends and vague acquaintances, over the back fence chatters, curtain twitchers, the odd recluse and a whole host of folks who just go about their daily business, minding their own and showing up at the odd parish meeting to put their two pennerth in. On occasion itinerant travellers wander through offering wares varying from the delightful to the downright dubious. Sometimes the circus turns up and erects its big-top in the carpark, sometimes hooligans from neighbouring villages show up and cause fights in the pub. People pass away and are mourned, people get married, have babies and their neighbours raise their glasses in acknowledgement. Sometimes new villagers turn up out of the blue and others up sticks and move away to the city. The strange thing is that most of the villagers live thousands of miles away from each other, many have never met any of the others, some have met but a handful, many can not put a face to the name and most a probably quite unaware of the existence of some of the remainder. The idea is this: To construct an historical and geographical atlas of fluxlist, past and present. Each current member of Fluxlist is invited to write about another - a biographical piece placing that person geographically, historically and contextually into the story of Fluxlist. These biographical pieces may be based on truth or complete fantasy. Pieces may vary in length, there being no maximum or minimum enforced and may be written in any language deemed appropriate by the author. Anecdotes and stories of bravery, stupidity or particularly successful dinner parties, artworks and animals, music and missing weekends. When and how they joined Fluxlist, motives and mysterious sudden disappearances. Notable contributions to Fluxlist, faux pas and folly. Place of birth, date of birth, date of first date and outcome. Famous/noted/ignored for... Place of abode, distance travelled by bicycle, bravelled by tricycle and amount of interest in % of learning to unicycle. Information on place of abode, including address, city, state, country etc. Participants may produce as many 'biographies' as they wish. Or you could write something completely different. The aim is document Fluxlist to date, to produce something which records Fluxlist membership at various levels, not just names but information about the person, a short biography (as stated) and information about their geographical location (and their location in time if you so wish). Entries may be duplicated. In fact duplicate entries, especially about 'active' members, are to be encouraged thus building up a broader view of the individual. Eventually the biographies will be used to build up a 'map' of Fluxlist. The aim is to publish this 'atlas', eventually, as an actual book if costs are not too prohibitive, and in digital format (PDF and HTML) Those interested in contributing are kindly requested to let me know within the next week or so. Thanks Alan

This is something I would have done before buy I never wanted to upset Allen Bukoff since he ran the list companion site. My plan is to provide the following on fluxlist.com. 1) A list of fluxlist members and any other Fluxus artists who wish to be listed. The name listing will link to your website. 2) A list of Fluxus documents: essays, texts interview etc. I hope those who've published on Fluxus will be generous enough to allow me to reproduce some of that material on the web. 3) Interviews: Begin an interview program with new and old Fluxus artists. Many of you will no doubt be able to help with that. 4)Website archive: I will archive all Fluxlist websites. This means that all the pages here and there we've had over the years can be collected together in one place, of course they can still remain in their original location too. Okay, well that's the start. If you have any more ideas let me know. cheers, Sol.

Had a cell phone for three days once. Returned it. I don't want to be that accessible. I have one - but it never rings... Have you plugged it in? I have a driver's license but almost never drive. I walk or take mass transit. Hmmm - lived in the US and got into the car habit. Ameliorating factor - it's a very small car (Renault Clio 1.2). We have a gold and black Mini Cooper, but would have certainly gotten a Renault if one could A) still get 'em in the US B) get a mid-sixties model of the type that used to be sold in the US. I don't like the idea of E-books. Too clean. Agreed. Used to work in publishing, and there's nothing quite like the smell of a new book. I still work in publishing. Coincidence, or what? BG

FLUXLIST: virtual art terrorism
It seems that my sig. other has discovered one of these virtual interactive universes. It's like the Sims, but this one is called Second Life. Anyone else familiar with this? Personally, I think it's idiotic. All they seem to do there is shop and nearly sort of pick each other up (as far as I can tell, no one has any virtual genitalia, so they can't be getting up to much naughtiness). However, it made me think that if a group of people from this list were to join en masse, much hilarity could ensue. Just thinking of what could be done with the avatars (the virtual people you get to put together and move around through the landscape)makes me go all woozy. One can also build peculiar and confusing things. If nothing else, we could have a contest to see which one of us gets banned for life first. It costs ten bucks to join up.

Mr. Bowman, Why don't YOU get into the spirit of things? If you read the correspondence of such artists as George Maciunas and Dick Higgins, you will see that they were quite careful to attribute works to the right artists, and they made a great point from time to time about clearing up confusions and misattributions. On many occasions, both Mr. Maciunas and Mr. Higgins were quite blunt in criticizing the liberties others took when they recast Fluxus artists and Fluxus work into a form it never had. Other Fluxus artists have also made a point of clarifying such mistakes. Ben Vautier has often done so, and so has Ken Friedman. As we've said before, we are not pretending to be Fluxus artists. We have our own views and our own interests. One of these is peforming and learning from the work of other artists. This involves knowing something about who did the work -- and it also involves knowing the work well enough to clear up these issues. For us, attributing work correctly is a matter of simple respect for the artists who created it. Unless you claim some special standing as a Fluxus artist, we can't see why your interpretation of the Fluxus spirit has priority over ours.

But the badger is too fast and burrows beneath a paintbrush stuck in a stone. In the burrow are mushrooms and grain. The badger makes a badger ambrosia of the grain and mushrooms and is soon asleep. Hours later, the badger is awakened by the noise of wood against stone. It is night and the lap dog is yapping. The wolverines have surrounded the stone and are chanting an incantation. The badger doesn't breathe, not a whisker moves. 1 It was a dense night. Stumble patterns and brave yapping set apart the party of owl elves and gnome mimics as they writhed and chased and spurned the undergrowth around the latest beige badger silting. In the brave distance behove the strange and incandescent foreshadows of wolverines and greenish melon lights upon the substantial forest fare. Young Zonograph, the tallest owl elf snuffed his warps harp and muttered - I can hear a badger. The badger is in trouble. I scents wolverines. Hurry there is no stone unready ton roll upturned in this lackadaisical pre-momentary of the word fandango. II What's all this, then! Uncle Walt awoke with a tart. Carefully smearing the remains of his last bottle of bright orange nail varnish into his hair, he feebly crawled out of the hole. Lulu, meanwhile, disappeared into a cravat. There's badgers in there, I tells ya. I don't want to go to the steak house no more! Several of the badgers loitering around the enormous bonfire giggled loudly. A wolverne chuckled quietly to himself. Later that same day, 3,000 red-headed women converged on the small appliance department at Macy's. There was a sale, you see.

Re: FLUXLIST: Wolverines and badgers. Holy Toledo, Batman!
Nonsense! Wolverines are just bigger than badgers. Wolverines are simply bad-tempered, while badgers are bad-tempered and cunning (and, being closer to the ground, more cthonic). Of course, there is the honey badger kills for sport, just like people do. Badger also pops up as a trickster figure from time to time, though not nearly as often as coyote. Of course, the American south has Brer Rabbit (rabbit appears as a trickster figure in both African and Amer Indian cultures). And, although I'm somewhat arachniphobic, Anansi is one of my favorite trickster figures. Wolverines more interesting? The very idea! Feh. BG I think we can all agree that Wolverines are a lot more interesting and exotic than badgers.

Re: FLUXLIST: Thomas Kinkade? Not the most famous. John Berger? Not the first.
Reading American art magazines, though, we'd have wonder whether Kinkade is really 'the most famous artist in America today.' That's not yet an historical fact. He is the most famous artist in a special niche, but this niche is rarely credited in the museums, professional art galleries, or magazines. If there is no history, then we could call ourselves 'Weetabix' I assure you, Thomas Kinkade is not the most famous artist in America today. He is particularly famous among people who spend much of their time watching Cable TV shopping channels, but that's about it. Oh, I tell a lie. He's also very popular with those who buy art in shopping malls. I've heard that an actual Kinkade condo project was in the works somewhere (shades of Disney's Celebration village). Scary, eh?
