Re: FLUXLIST: Fluxus, luxus, box.
box is more Fluxlistish than Fluxish which in This topic is bo ring. Liked Anns post. If we take "fluxus" as a label for the things before Maciunas, for me the most interesting part of the story, when the spirit of the cage class entered the streets, well than the box was more fluxus than fluxlist.

Heiko I was being serious, the box is more Fluxlistish than Fluxish which in my opinion is a good thing..we have created an original work which reflects the diverse creative practice of members of this list. It is of course inspired in form and content by the original fluxus boxes. I think the approach taken by those contributuing to our box views the original boxes as a model for a particular form of creativity rather than something to be duplicated. cheers, Sol.
Re: FLUXLIST: Fluxus, luxus, box...
I think the stone experiment is highly fluxish; the egyptian pyramid/chinese funeral money also; my piece, the fired clay dice with different impressions on them and scrap of text, is probably more arte povera than flux, in a way. I have a greater sense for material possibility than a sense of humor, in other words. Were there supposed to be 2 cds or one cd?

And the "Alison Knowles" piece, she is not on the cover. And what is fluxish with them, most fluxish piece that comes to mind is Marcs, IMHO, but I might be wrong. H.
Re: FLUXLIST: Fluxus, luxus, box...
Well, thanks Patricia. That helps me get through the next slog. Though I'm cowed, sheepish and reluctant to say anything at all now, I'll plunge ahead recklessly if only because thank goodness that is an option. I know I'm not a flux artist, but I'm fairy sincere; and even if it comes off lacking in individuality at times, or chatty at others, my transient points of view, as well as all others' here are worth while for the most part. Oh that my alter ego were on line and ready to go on ebay! like Zoe, then I'd really know how to answer. Or apparently my soft friend: The Confession of a Godless Renegade http://www.interlog.com/~halpen/reviews/confession-of-a-godless-renegade-02-17-97.html At the risk of making enemies, I venture to say that as you, Dave, may have certain people whose posts you never both with, why don't you just add me to that list. Personally, I've always appreciated and enjoyed ddyment's posts, but find his repetitive passive/aggressive self-abasement/put downs a bit irksome. Now is that a flame or a flame put out? If fighting fire with fire is useless, I mean to more throw water on it. Though I could just while away back in hiding and let the cool air snuff it out. The godless confessions are just too hot to pass up though, heck I just make elephants, and necessitates my risking maximum overexposure. Go tell Rod, Patricia, Sol, Terrence, Allen, Ann, Best Poet, Carol, Reed, Roger, Heiko, Myke, narvis ...pez, what you told me. Obviously it's not the square inch quantity that bothers you. Perhaps it's because Steve Allen DID do a biography of me, years ago, long ago and far away, and besides the wrench is dead, or gone. The computer box photos would also be unearthings of who we are, showing what we do with this particular continuum. Kathy That's it for a few days, bye...

And what is fluxish with them, most fluxish piece I return still to the fluxbox home page http://www.fluxus.org/FLUXLIST/box1/fbindexm.html. It's really well done in every way. More rare spices from the east for Owen and Sol. What a lot of work to do, but all well worth it. I've moved the box to my computer table, next to the rocks. Bernice Kew's Flash animation is extraordinary! worth going back to, freshly new each time. Is there such a thing as the fluxus smile? I can't find Don Boyd's in the fluxbox, --is it in there?-- but it's related to Bernice's aztec FLUX.
Re: FLUXLIST: Fluxus, luxus, box...
Kathy: I believe Don Boyd's is the wonderful, small clay fluxus smile - he sent one to me to scan for a stamp. BTW, write on, please. You're very good at it, very eloquent at your spontaneity , and I'm enjoying reading you catch up from your soujourn away, whilst I go back and forth at stuff that ain't play.
