Owen- When/how will this be published? I went to the Visible Language website, but didn't find info about it. Reid Reid Wood (State of Being) Haven't-Garde Art [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://havent-gardeart.blogspot.com On May 1, 2006, at 10:17 PM, Owen Smith wrote: OK - I guess I have been lurking long enought and should respond to the querry. Ken Friedman and I just finished a double set of issues of the journal Visible Language. The first is Fluxus and Legacy. The second is Fluxus after Fluxus. This is the official version of the two issues: Fluxus and Legacy examines the relationship between Fluxus and a range of artistic and art historical concerns -- including the question of historical consciousness in the work of specific artists. Contributors include Bertrand Clavez on the relationship of Fluxus to the artistic practice of recent decades, Ina Blom on the historiographic dialectic of Ben Vautier's signature, and a special collection of conversations and notes by children of the Fluxus artists compiled by Hannah Higgins (herself a Fluxkid). Owen Smith examines Fluxus and learning strategies, and the issue ends with an inquiry into historiography and legacy by Smith and Ken Friedman. Fluxus after Fluxus examines the relationship of younger artists to the Fluxus work. Contributors include Anne Klefstad on the difficult question of legacy, Celia Pearce on games as art and the aesthetics of play, and a dozen contemporary artists on their view of -- and relation to -- Fluxus. In addition, Lisa Moren has organized a special collection of event scores titled Keep Walking Intently, blending traditional Fluxus scores with parallel works by other artists and an introduction by Ina Blom. Additionally there is a selection 10 artists' statgements on the importnace of fluxus for their work and ideas in contemporary practice. In the introduction, Friedmand and Smith discuss the dialectics of legacy, and Ken problematizes the question of legacy in a bibliographic essay on the literature of Fluxus that accompanies a selective bibliography on Fluxus from 1961 to 2004. Additionally if you Jelena (of anyone else) is interested I will be happy to send yo and essay I wrote in the mid 90s about what I called the fluxus world view (it was origianally published in the catalog Fluxus Virus). Since it is long and amnot sure that it is righ to send it to the list directly just send me you email off list and I will send it as an attachment. Here is a brief selection of the introduction of the essay: Playing with Difference: Fluxus as a World View. A consideration of Fluxus on the basis of identifiable visual distinctions (the use of collage/assemblage, a design sensibility, or a particular form of a work) or even seeming conceptual coherencies fails to recognize the more fundamental change in thinking: Fluxus no longer requires clarity of concept or purpose as it relates to communication. This can be most generally seen in the processes of creation in which Fluxus participates. These processes illustrate and enact the diacritical workings of communication (in art, language, music, etc); the joining of disparate elements from within established meanings (and in relation to expected actions) to create new and unexpected meanings and awarenesses. In Fluxus, processes are enacted to establish multiple possibilities and not set new transcendent orders or associations and thus Fluxus might seem to contain patterns of the absence or the ambiguity of meaning. To more fully recognize the nature of past Fluxus actions and even the possibilities for future actions I attempt to offer here a series of related ideas that can inform one as to the conceptual field in which Fluxus operates.1 Fluxus is by nature anti_reductivist, for it does not seek the illumination of some end or fact but celebrates the participation in a non_hierarchal density of experience. In this way Fluxus does not refer to a style or even a procedure as such but to the presence of a total of social activities. The attempt to place Fluxus in history falls into the positivist (in the sense that human knowledge derives from systematic study) as well as art historical trap of defining the presence of something by divining the presence of a core, whether it be of ideas, people or activities. Thus as the debate rages as to who was part of Fluxus and who wasn't, or when and where Fluxus existed, one of the most central and crucial aspects of Fluxus is often disregarded. Although some trace of Fluxus does exist in what was done and who did it, such a narrow view obscures the key to Fluxus, that which I call a world view.

Apparently he's bigger than McLuhan. South Korea is building a big museum dedicated to his oeuvre. The Smithsonian has a lot of his work on display. All the avant-garde luminaries were there. Speeches were given by Yoko Ono, Christo and his wife, Jeanne-Claude, Bill Viola, and yours truly (I told some MM/Paik stories). Telegrams from the President of Korea, the German culture czar, the Smithsonian, etc. His nephew was the best. Here's how he ended his talk: This is an interesting story I'll tell you. Aside from trying to keep him liquid, this is one of the most interesting things I did with him. In 1998, Nam June was invited to a state dinner at the Clinton White House, June of '98. If some of you remember, it's not that long ago, that was the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, which had broken out earlier, in January or February. Nam June was going, and he asked if I would go with him. So I said, sure. I went with him. I wheeled him into the White House, and these gigantic Marines took over from there. Nam June was very amused, I think. He was having a great time, talking to all the people there. Then we got to the receiving line. Nam June decided to show respect, I think, to the president, Mrs. Clinton, and the other dignitaries there. He decided to get up from his wheelchair, get on his walker, and try to walk across the receiving line. Across the receiving line at the state dinner is the World's press. They're all there; I don't know how many, tens of cameras and video cameras, everything. So as Nam June is talking to President Clinton, and I'm standing right behind him as he's making some small talk to President Clinton, Nam June turns around and says to me: Ken, I think my pants are falling. True story here. And I said, What? My pants are falling! he says. I look down, and his pants are falling! They are completely down on the floor. And he has no underwear on! So I pick up his pants. I pull them up and I just hold them there. Now, Bill Clinton is such a cool president he still continued to have small talk with my uncle. I think they were talking about Chelsea, maybe, I don't know. A little bit down the line, I could see that Hillary was really not amused at all. She was ticked. But Bill Clinton was saying nothing. It was really quite amazing. After that interesting dinner, Nam June was inundated with phone calls, faxes, everything. All his friends around the world thought that was the best Fluxus performance in the world. Everybody wanted to know, including the press, whether it was an accident or whether it was, because you have to remember, my uncle is in a wheelchair now but he has a reputation for being a cultural terrorist. So I asked Nam June, did you drop your pants on purpose? Was it an act? Was it an artistic statement? A political statement? And so he said, My pants dropped. That's all. He told me, and this is very Nam June, he said, It really doesn't matter. It was a great event. He's just like that, totally unfazed. Was he embarrassed? No, of course not! And I think Bill Clinton was very cool about that, too. The press was so excited that somebody else's pants, not the president's, had dropped in the White House. They were so excited by that. It was the ultimate Fluxus event. About two hours ago, I called Nam June and I told him I was going to receive this Medal for him, and I asked him, What advice do you have for the artists in the Colony? I'll pass on to you what he said. He said, Work hard. Be lazy - which is a very Nam June Paik thing to say. And he wished you all well. Thank you very much. At the end of the memorial today, the nephew handed out about fifty scissors and asked everyone to cut off the tie of the man next to you or you wouldn't be allowed in the reception. Everyone cut off their neighbor's tie and then Yoko suggested everyone put the pieces in Nam's open casket. Everyone did. More amazing things happened at the reception. Bob Dobbs P.S. Since he was a global artist, Paik asked to be buried in 10 countries.

There lies within noise a manner of empowerization that is both organic suggestive. Noise constitutes all that remains undigested, confused in opposition.

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.ThanksAlan Reid Wood (State of Being)[EMAIL PROTECTED]"Haven't-Garde Art"

When I finish the film I will produce it in a variety of formats (probably wmv mpg and mov) actually I'm recutting the whole thing now using a different set of software tools. This first cut was just to see how some of the footage would hang together and test an analogue synth soundtrack.
