Making photos (or other related material) available would be great.

Re: FLUXLIST: alison knowles
hi alan how very exciting. wouldn't it be nice if she did somthing along the lines of what ann klefstad did at the tweed museum in 2003 ( u of minn/ duluth, usa). many exciting possibilities run through my brain. very interesting; all the posts about nothing have yielded something. bests, carol xx NP: come away, ESG, dance, vinyl Alan Bowman wrote: let's try again alison phoned me the other evening, she's here in venice and asked me to perform with here on june 12th - i'm not sure where. anyway, she's looking for others to help, so if you're in venice... i knew she was coming and that i was supposed to be helping with her show, but more than that - it's all a little vague. more details will follow i'm sure. anyway, the point of my original post was this: i'm going to be working with alison over the next few weeks, and emmett williams arrives on sunday too. perhaps we could us this opportunity to ask them a few questions, it's not often we get access to fluxfolks. perhaps i could even get them to write to the list.. i don't know, just an idea. the last time i spoke to alison she was a bit miffed about the fact that everyone wants to know about fluxus and not her current work. it may be a good chance to find out what they are up to nowadays too? i wonder if eric andersen is coming - i'm sure he'll want to say hello to fluxlist too. any ideas? alan Oh Odin's Underpants its a B(owman)LOG http://bowmansramblings.blogspot.com/ Visit the Freeformfreakout Organisation Online: http://www.freeformfreakoutorganisation.net

Re: FLUXLIST: alison knowles
I would love to have more info/news/contact re Alison's recent and current work, having seen her show off a bit of it in Miami a couple years ago. Encourage her to post stuff to this list, or to someone on the list (perhaps you, Alan?) who could then post it. john At 05:36 AM 5/26/2006, you wrote: let's try again alison phoned me the other evening, she's here in venice and asked me to perform with here on june 12th - i'm not sure where. anyway, she's looking for others to help, so if you're in venice... i knew she was coming and that i was supposed to be helping with her show, but more than that - it's all a little vague. more details will follow i'm sure. anyway, the point of my original post was this: i'm going to be working with alison over the next few weeks, and emmett williams arrives on sunday too. perhaps we could us this opportunity to ask them a few questions, it's not often we get access to fluxfolks. perhaps i could even get them to write to the list.. i don't know, just an idea. the last time i spoke to alison she was a bit miffed about the fact that everyone wants to know about fluxus and not her current work. it may be a good chance to find out what they are up to nowadays too? i wonder if eric andersen is coming - i'm sure he'll want to say hello to fluxlist too. any ideas? alan Oh Odin's Underpants its a B(owman)LOG http://bowmansramblings.blogspot.com/ Visit the Freeformfreakout Organisation Online: http://www.freeformfreakoutorganisation.net __ Dr. John M.

Re: FLUXLIST: Alison Knowles
Patricia all Acctually, I'll be seeing the Alison Knowles show at the end of this coming week because I'm headed for New York 10/12-15. I will post my impressions to the list. Her Proposition #1 and Giveaway Construction are two of my favorite event scores, but I gather the show at EHG is collage works. Reed Patricia wrote: post something provokative about Fluxus Reed Alison Knowles has a show opening at Emily Harvey gallery tonight. I've sent for the accompanying book but don't have it yet. Some of you know her, and most of you know more about her than I do. How about posting some takes on or info. about A. Knowles or experiences with same. Best, PK
Re: FLUXLIST: alison knowles
this book from Granary arrived on my doorstep today --- Footnotes: collage journal 30 years Patricia -- it fits in so well to the idea of the time pieces! torn from 5x7 notebooks and taped onto a larger page, the tape itself now "highlighted" one way or the other as arranged, "an artistic artifice as well as an homage to Diter Rot and his SEP book 246 Little Clouds" everyother page has one of these notebook pages, with facing page/text of poetic notations, sometimes quite minimalist or sounding like mini scores for performance the pieces have the quick at-the-scene feel of Dave Baptiste Chirot's pages for the fluxlist timepiece, giving the sense that almost you are watching thoughts/impressions as they appear blur and disappear, ideas nearly wiggling as they become visual in pencilled scribbles, mind in action introduction by JRothenberg is good, ending with AK quote "It is important to remember that we are free to make art and poetry out of anything: a loaf of bread, some beans, a hasty jotting on the train." I ordered the Footnotes not having seen a page, just so hopeful that it'd touch my obsessions with calendars/days/collage/found poetry and I love it. I'm sorry I can't do a more appropriately articulate review - now I have to go spend some time with this book! NBB
Re: FLUXLIST: alison knowles
NB, An erudite and visual review it is - well done!!! In fact, so compelling a review, I have just interrupted this post to whip out the well rubbed Visa card and order it. Add to your timepiece reference the fact that I have been collecting feet fotos for a feetsheet, and, voila - kismet - karma. Whatever. Also, I am admittedly an Alison Knowles groupie. On the timepiece reference, Count Vladimir de Mews Russian Blue has chosen Roger "Radio" Stevens as the next victim, and I shall begin manipulation on him this very weekend. I mean, embellishments to his visage (she said, chortling and rubbing her hands with glee).
