 Yes, visit! It would be so great to see you.   Bring 2

06796CONTACT  Margaret 
Bodell860.672.6842www.margaretbodell.comWEST CORNWALL, CT - New 
York City art world veteran, Margaret Bodell, culminates 20 years of gallery 
experience with an Inaugural Summer Salon Exhibition “Contemporary Antiquarians” 
opening at the new Art at the Bridge gallery in historic West Cornwall. The show 
will feature the most recent work of contemporary emerging artists and artists 
outside the mainstream that uniquely combine contemporary ideas with antiquated 
and traditional techniques. Contemporary Antiquarians will highlight 
artists that represent the “slow movement” in art, New Impressionists of our 
time working with labor-intensive processes, nostalgic materials, and strongly 
influenced by the artist’s sense of craft. The artistic talent will take 
form in a variety of media including: 19th century photographic tintypes, oil 
paintings that reinvent the sites of 18th century British landscape painters, 
hand-whittled sculptures, and works influenced by turn of the century decorative 
styles. Art at the Bridge, housed in a pink Victorian with a front 
porch overlooking the West Cornwall village and the Housatonic River, will be a 
getaway site for artists looking for community, conversation, and a place for 
the incubation of new work. The space will be a summer “coffee klutch” for 
artists, a retreat from the city, open seven days a week, in one of the last of 
the undeveloped areas of Connecticut’s countryside. West Cornwall 
has long been a community and home to many artists and writers with a tradition 
of handmade craftsmanship, from furniture and pottery, to the architecture of 
the famous covered bridge. Art at the Bridge will be a meeting place continuing 
in this tradition and will provide a home for a contemporary dialogue of the 
issues of our time.  Bodell’s art ventures began in 
her native Connecticut with her first gallery in New Haven in 1984, Art in 
Heaven. Margaret Bodell Gallery in NYC’s East Village launched many emerging 
artist’s careers and was known for the inclusion of underrepresented artists 
such as those artists living with disabilities. Bodell founded numerous art 
programs and artist residencies as well as social venture businesses throughout 
New York and New England. Art at the Bridge continues to bring both the 
historical and the contemporary to the Tri-State 
community.

FLUXLIST: Something Fellini

[suse]

Federico Fellini--from an interview with Jonathon 
Cott:

 "A creative person -- let's say 
that awful word: an artist -- makes what we call magical operations. Becasue if 
something lives only in his imagination, totally hidden to others, then people 
won't be able to imagine it. So, with his talent, experience, artisanal sense, 
materials and colors, an artist makes things visible for everybody, like the 
magician in a fairy tale who makes something that wasn't there suddenly appear. 
Because the artist always lives somewhere in between the unconscious and the 
prevaling cultural standards, and he attempts to combine the two. Or one could 
refer to the twilight zone between the sun and the moon, which is the same 
borderland between what is unconscious and real. And so the artist is 
particularly moved by the light that is between--between two attitudes, two sets 
of behavior, two dimensions. He is moved by the twilight because then one finds 
the union of contrasts. And the ground on which the artist stands and works is 
also like that of the magician who operates on what doesn't exist -- or just 
confusedly exists --and turns it into something..."


(the last two words of the last sentence are 
"concrete and ordered" --I have deleted them becasue they are as yet uneasy and 
volatile words in the fluxus vocabulary as I see 
it--ed)

  In my opinion, any unsold artworks are assets that have not yet 
  been converted to cash or other comodities. Then there are copyright, 
  reproduction incomes possible. So I don't have any expiration dates on any 
  artworks by me. Everybody else in almost every other field considers the 
  ongoing value of their efforts. Why artists do not value what they do is a 
  mystery to me and if one does not value his one work then -of course - it is 
  hard to consider expending effort in creating a market for it. But hey, all 
  the better for me, less glut in the market. But to be sure, the more artists 
  needing and seeking a market, the more a market develops. Maybe we need to 
  joinly do a campaigne encouraging people to buy more art products. You know 
  like the milk industry. Got Art? Fluxus artists should not be encouraging the 
  average idiot to make his own art we should be encouraging the average idiot 
  to buy our art at low cost 'popular' prices. Sell them art kits in a box! Why 
  not? We should all develop a fluxbooth and send each other fluxjunk to sell to 
  Johnny Q Public; unlimited editions of stuff. unlimited collections of stuff! 
  Stuff, stuff everywhere. That was one of the original impulses of fluxus 
  wasn't it?A buddy invited me to go to a "by invitation only" Peter Max 
  exhibition yesterday here in fort worth. It was a hoot. Peter Max has about a 
  dozen roadees that set up a constantly traveling carnaval of Peter Max art 
  junk ranging in price from about 2,000.00 to 20,000.00 or so. 40 exhibitions a 
  year! He's doing the Thomas Kincade thing of making lithos and then slopping 
  some details on them and selling them as "mixed media" original art. Then 
  there he is, a guy that looks like Ben Stiller's dad, talking to 'collectors'. 
  Meanwhile the roadees are working the crowd trying to catch that impulse buyer 
  overcome by the proximity to pop fame. There are some little paintings 
  on canvas and some on paper, all framed and the peter max book. When you start 
  looking at it everything, he's got about 10 or 15 images that he paints over 
  and over again without too much variation. It is kind of like a fluxus artist 
  performing the same 15 scores over and over again. things like: Paint a 
  sunset, Make a Print of that sunset, Paint on the print of the sunset, 
  repeat above with an angel, a guy with an umbrella, etc. Frame everything in 
  black, sell for uncomfortably high prices. only respond to potential marks 
  with statements like, "You should buy it becuase you love it", "You shouldn't 
  buy art for investment but for the love of it", "How much can you 
  afford?", "That's my favorite one too", etc. It was 
  wild.Cecilhttp://neoplasticism.comRod

Re: FLUXLIST: Fluxus message from mIEKAL aND

[suse]

you have many questions.
ps, as per your request
I obscured your middle name in the anologio... had chemo --worn out--have
finished a few, designed many, 1st two have been traded.
In answer to bibliana also--will send you one--slow process but
oh here she goes---David Baptiste -Chirot and others have been talking bout
publishing poems, most recently Roger Stevens
I collected about 70 poems between March 25th and April 1st. Several good
ones came in after the deadline--someone should start there.

i sometimes wonder why technology can't deal with simple text in a
uniform manner. allen's sonnet was a sonnet to me, yet not to him. one
of my poems came back to me as one really big line, which it definitely
isn't, and now i don't know whether mIEKAL's message is supposed to
appear as it does for me in this reply email (just text), or is
actually supposed to contain millions of question marks (which is both
highly enjoyable and thoroughly taxing on my brain).

 A couple of blog points.

 I wonder if we should make the archive fortnightly rather than monthly?
 For anyone like me without broadband (We're right out in the countryside
 and it hasn't reached us yet - amazing but true) the page takes ages to
 load. Whatdythink?

 Secondly on my PC the cream background comes up too wide - which means
 all the side bar info appears at the very bottom. This only happens on
 the main page - on the comments page it's okay. Does this affect
 everyone - or is it just my antiquated equipment?

Thank you-- good interview.

as in :
So, in taking one of the first of the selected events to recapitulate, the
one we did in New York a few weeks ago, which you've probably heard is very
often quoted as a fairly well-known prototype of that time, 18 Happenings
in 6 Parts. I wholesale changed it. I took it's principals of
participation, of changeability, of simultaneity, and spread these, instead
of the original loft work where the thing had taken place in 1959, I had it
take place at the desires of the participants all over New York City. from

 He has been ill for about two years.  A memorial for him will be planned

 He has influenced many, many people, not just artists, and his memory will

  The fluxlist blog shows that you are already a member. 
  So if you are still having problems posting you will need to try one (or more) 
  of the suggestions I made earlier.
  
  This may apply to a few other list members who ARE

  Have a 2nd e-mail account ready to go (if you don’t have one already you can 
  sign up for one at Hotmail.com, Yahoo.com or 
  Google)
  
  2) 
  Go to Blogger.com and open a new Blogger account using the 2nd e-mail account 
  as your e-mail address
  
  3) 
  Test your Blogger account by logging in to Blogger.com with your user name and

  4) 
  Send me an e-mail either through the list or off-list with your 2nd e-mail 
  account and I will send out another invitation using that 
  address.
  
  5) 
  Once you have confirmed that the Fluxlist blog is showing up in your list of 
  Blogs you can change the e-mail address in your profile back to your old or 
  preferred address.
  
  
  
  or
  
  If you have replied to the invitation and you already 
  have a user name and password on Blogger, but it won’t link the Fluxlist blog 
  to your existing Blog(s) (this happened to me) you need 
  to:

  (if you don’t have one already you can sign up for one at 
  Hotmail.com)
  
  2) Go to 
  Blogger.com and open your existing Blogger account

  e-mail address in your Blogger profile to the 2nd e-mail account 
  address.

  Blogger account by logging in to Blogger.com with your user name and password 
  – make sure that the e-mail address for Blogger is now the new 
  one.
  
  5) Send me an 
  e-mail either through the list or off-list with your 2nd e-mail account and I 
  will send out another invitation using that

  6) Once you have

 Making salad is art when the dressing is 'Fluxus'
 By Kristen Peterson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Las Vegas Sun
 On Friday night artist Alison Knowles will make a salad. She will remove
 one piece of clothing. Very slowly. And she will play an instrument using
 an orange.
 Each event - there are 12 in all - has its own instructions that Knowles
 is to interpret and perform before a small audience while her daughter
 delivers a lecture titled The Multiple Intelligences of Fluxus.
 Why?
 The organizers behind Fluxus Vegas say it's a time to celebrate the
 ordinary, stop the clock and relish in the simplicity of everyday life.
The
 two-day festival will be at UNLV.
 Fluxus is a movement that started in the '60s, bringing artists together
to
 focus on the process of art, rather than the final product as a commodity.
 Founded by George Maciunas, other artists associated with Fluxus include
 Yoko Ono, John Cage, Knowles and her late husband, Dick Higgins.
 In a 1979 article, Higgins writes that coffee cups can be more beautiful
 than sculptures and the sloshing of my foot in my wet boot sounds more
 beautiful than fancy organ music.
 John Paul Ricco, assistant professor of art history and art theory at
UNLV,
 said Fluxus has to do with a sense that midcentury American,
 consumer-driven, ever-involved-with-a-spectacle culture required an
 intervention.
 Ricco organized Fluxus Vegas with UNLV sculpture professor Robert Wysocki.
 He will also participate in a public conversation on Fluxus with Knowles
 and her daughter, Hannah Higgins.
 Recently Ricco took a few minutes to talk with the Las Vegas Sun.

 One of the great things about Fluxus is that it really goes so far to blur
 that boundary. The radical impulse of Fluxus is that anything is art and
 anybody can be an artist.
 It really all began with (abstract painter Marcel) Duchamp when he took a
 bathroom urinal, put it on its side and pushed the limits. Where does art
 end? Where does everyday begin?

 How does Fluxus differ from performance art?
 The difference between Fluxus and performance art would be the engagement
 with the notion of the event. Performance art would involve a prewritten
 script where you'd set the perimeters.

 And there really is no perimeter in Fluxus?
 They're so minimal in instruction that they can be taken any number of
ways.

 So Make a Salad performances could be construed as variations on a
theme?
 Yes. In one Make a Salad, Alison cuts up various ingredients to make a
 salad. She'll make one salad, make another salad (and then) make a number
 of salads to give to the audience.
 She's done it on a huge scale where you have dozens of people making a
 salad and piles of carrots.

 Objects also have an important role?
 Fluxus teaches us that we can have a relationship to objects and things
 that are based upon a simple active engagement with the object. A simple,
 plain, unadorned kind of experience.
 It's very much about ourselves and our relation with things in this world
 and achieves a sense that there is an aesthetic to an existence. It puts
 forth the notion that one might live one's life as a work of art or as a
 series of artful activities.

 Audience reaction?
 Some of the pieces are very playful, so you can get a humorous response.
 Some are very meditative. In Nivea Cream ... she scoops out a big blob
 and massages her hands in front of a microphone.
 The experience is so minimal that you become entranced.

 Has it seen its zenith?
 It was much bigger in the '60s, when you had many of the artists engaged
in
 the activities. It's very hard to make a living doing Fluxus.
 Fluxus Vegas events are free. Friday's lecture and performance will be
from
 6 to 8 p.m. in Room A-108 of the Classroom Building Complex at UNLV.
 Saturday's public conversation will be at 3 p.m. in the same room.

Walter,

I've already half created the first copy--I am pasting it into a
pre-exisitng altered book:
HOWEVER;
I suggest that you, or someone who comes to your aid,
Can begin Volume 2. with the poem below.
It's easy--
[Antholo Event]
1. Set a date--not too far away
2. print out everything sent for volume up until that date
3. Make several copies
4. sell them, or
5. Defenestrate them

1st copy is looking great--still need a few permissions, i'll get photos out
when I slog over to the fogging blog project which i keep avoiding.

Singing bridges is a sonic sculpture, playing the cables of

To create this work I will amplify and record the sound of bridge
cables around the world. Listening in to the secret voice of

of the school-girls whose smiling observance they might chance passingly to 
arrest?

I look in vain for 
something that makes sense.
I see nothing but smoke and 
mirrors.
I hear nothing but 
spin.
What was the final and 
actual count? 
Have I missed that? 

Where can I find that 
information?
Look, we don't want to 
waste your time...or ours
Truth + Spin = 
Bullshit
a connection may be 
simplistic at best
It probably works for some 
people.
People must be able to 
think they can find you
There must be an 
indescribable air of refinement,
A frisson of power. 

There is a subtle influence 
connected with this art which is not easily defined; we can all recognize it 
when we listen to them, and yet few of us could point out wherein the 
science lies

you'll find the records 
easy to manipulate
They don't mean anything, 
they don't mean anything at all.
It's always well 
disguised.

We come in through your 
speakers or 
we come in through your 
television set, 
like a lot of these other 
messages. 
But we're not really trying 
to sell anything. 
We do this because this is 
what we do.

hi Suse

how are you all there? what's happening in your life.i haven't spoken 
to you in probably a year!! are you still teaching? how is John and Stephan? 
what's going on with Middletown?

Ý'm still in Turkey and i like my job but we work so much...it's so tiring. 
Ý don't know when i'm coming back there to visit again. I'd like to come in 
summer but i may not have enough money because my friend and i want to go to 
Greece for vacation.

here is a beautiful poem one of my students gave me. it gave me shivers

The Wave 
by O. Veli

I.

To think myself 
happy
I don’t need a piece of paper 
or a pen;
A cigarette dangling between 
my fingers
I enter the 
blue
Of the painting on the 
wall

I enter it, the sea pulls 
me,
It pulls me, the world snares 
me;
Is there something like 
alcohol,
Alcohol in the 
air,
Making me mad, making me 
sad?

I can recognize a 
lie
When i see 
it;
It’s a lie that i became a 
boat,
The coolness of the water on 
my ribs 
Is a 
lie,
The wind on the watchtower’s a 
lie,
The motorboat which has been 
chugging along
For 
weeks...

Nevertheless, 

I can still spend, still 
spend
Beautiful 
days
In this 
blue
Like the watermelon rind 
swimming in the sea,
Like the reflection of the 
tree in the sky,
Like the fog which envelops 
the plum trees in the morning,
The fog, the mist, the love, 
the smells...

II.

Neither paper nor 
pencil
Can make me think myself 
happy.
I’ll I’ll say it 
again,
This is nonsense 

I’m a 
ship.
I must be in a definite, 
definite
Place
Unlike the rind of 
watermelon
Or light or fog or 
mist...
Like a human 
being.

  break down and release chemicals that kill the bacteria as well as cause 
  enlargement of the blood vessels (inflammation) and attract more white 
  cells to the "fight." 
  

  

FLUXLIST: April 26th--nyc

NO REWIND
by 
AlexandraAnderson-Spivy Nam 
June Paik, who transformed video into an art form and drove to abstraction the 
images of broadcast TV, died in Miami on Jan. 29, 2006. He was 73. A few days 
later, on Friday, Feb. 3, Paik’s amazing memorial service at the Frank E. 
Campbell funeral chapel on Madison Avenue reminded everyone there that the art 
world had lost one of its most joyful and subversive elders. Nam June’s last 
rites were a rare mix of the sublime and the outrageous. 

Films of Nam June in action were projected on a screen on the far wall of the 
room. By 3 pm, when the service began, it was SRO -- for this was a reunion of 
the Fluxus clan and the now distinctly weathered members of what once was the 
hardcore avant-garde. Notably present were Jon Hendricks, Museum of Modern Art 
media curator Barbara London, Kate Millet, Yoko Ono and Jonas Mekas. Notably 
absent were New York museum directors -- at least I didn’t see one.
The artist himself, serene as a baby in his open casket, banked by huge 
baskets and bouquets of white flowers, was practically hidden behind a living 
wall of several dozen paparazzi festooned with tiny digital cameras, elaborate 
video cameras and microphones. The reporters had jammed themselves into the 
space between the pews and the front of the chapel. They had spilled back into 
the aisles. They climbed over each other, their flash bulbs flaring, as the 
largely Asian press swarmed like bees on speed to record the event for the 
newspapers and television channels of Seoul and Tokyo. Ray Johnson scholar Bill 
Wilson, ever-urbane, whispered in mock horror, "I have Southern relatives who 
would never make it out of here alive if they saw this!" 
Our initial shock turned to delight. One of the last great Fluxus events had 
begun.
Carolee Schneemann and I sat beside Shigeko Kubota, Nam June’s widow, in the 
second row, which was mostly reserved for speakers. Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s 
attempt to be unobtrusive in our row was somewhat undermined by Jeanne-Claude’s 
signature red hair. Yoko Ono and Merce Cunningham appeared at the last minute 
before the service began. As Yoko sat down in front of us in the first row, next 
to Betsy Broun, director of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the paparazzi 
went mad. The media storm became a tornado. Reporters with microphones attacked, 
climbing over Merce in his wheelchair to get to Yoko. Cameras buzzed. With 
elegant dignity Yoko smiled and turned them away with a few words. 
The photographers and reporters at last assumed a momentary attitude of 
relatively quiet respect. Ken Paik Hakuta, the nephew Nam June and Shigeko, 
brought up after he arrived in America 40 years ago at age 14, led the service. 
Also known as "Dr. Fad," the charming Hakuta is famous outside the art world as 
the inventor of the Wacky Wallwalker, a toy that sold millions in the late 
1980s. (Within the art world, he is director of Paik Studios). Ken read a 
telegram from the president of Korea, where a Paik Museum has recently broken 
ground. He then introduced each speaker. 
John Hanhardt, film and media arts curator of the Guggenheim Museum, Christo 
and Jeanne-Claude, Yoko, Bill Viola and Betsy Broun all talked about their 
friendships with Nam June. Wulf Herzogenrath, director of the Bremen Kunsthalle, 
recalled Paik’s early years in Germany. John Hanhardt told a story about the 
night six years ago when he and Nam June were staying late at the museum to 
install Paik’s year 2000 retrospective. John noticed that Paik’s ground floor 
installation was reflected in the moonlit night sky through the Guggenheim glass 
ceiling. "Look!" he said to Paik. Nam June looked up, pointed at the sky and 
said, "That’s high art." Then he pointed to the installation on the Guggenheim 
floor. "I make low art." 
Tae-Ho Song, president of the Gyeonggi Foundation in Korea, which is building 
the Paik museum, described Paik as a national cultural hero. Ken Hakuta followed 
him, telling many other stories about his uncle. Here's the one he ended 
with:
"In 1998, Nam June was invited to a state dinner at the Clinton White House, 
June of '98. Some of you will remember -- it's not that long ago -- that was the 
height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Nam June was going, and he asked if I 
would go 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. Then we got into 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 through the receiving line. The world press is 
across from the line at the state dinner. Tens and tens of cameras and video 
cameras, everything. So as Nam June is talking to President Clinton, and I'm 
standing right behind him, Nam June turns around and says

Re: FLUXLIST: Scum Tide

[suse]

So, Lets make a FLUXUS ANTHOLOGY 2005 or 6 of 
poems. Okay, I'll do it. Send me one poem that I can print out on my cheap 
printer and I will make copies and throw suprise artwork all over it or 
not--

Officially
email a poem to me and I will gather it together 
with all the other poems mailed to me for the same purpose and I will make books 
which I will then try to mass produce artfully--I pledge to do my best to send 
them out barring all quicksilver and catastrophe. I'd like to make the deadline 
soon: April1st, 2006--Recent Fluxus Poetry-- An rfp for rfp-- is this too 
bold to attempt? 

Who knows, she is talking to herself on fluxlist 
again.

Mr. Bennett--here's to your scum tide--enjoyed your

Subject: "Lunch"
I read an article 
the other day in the L.A. Times about how Best Picture Oscar winner "Crash" does 
not accurately reflect the "real" Los Angeles. The author of the article 
described a typical series of encounters in a local neighborhood that involved 
interactions between people of various nationalities and skin colors, none of 
which resulted in violence, name-calling or even a minor misunderstanding. 
It was somewhat clever and mildly ironic, but not exactly an earth-shattering 
revelation. After all, what is more surprising, a movie that does not 
accurately reflect reality, or a moviegoer who expects a movie to accurately 
reflect reality.As it happened, I was reading the article while having 
lunch at Irv's Burgers, while in the background owner Sonia Hong carried on a 
constant stream of conversation with patrons and staff, that slipped easily from 
English to Korean to Spanish and back again. The lunch crowd at 
Irv's is a microcosm of L.A. society containing a representative 
cross-section of class, color and culture, including rich, poor, young, old, 
black, white, Hispanic, Asian, gay, straight, and tourists. I got 
to thinking about a line from the movie Crash uttered by Don Cheadle's character 
-- something about how nobody in L.A. has any contact with anyone else, so we 
have to crash into each other just to feel something. I have had a few 
"crashes" while living here, and I have to say I think I did learn a little more 
about myself and my neighbors from each.Once, while waiting at a 
stoplight I got cut off by a woman in a white sedan. She angled he car in 
front of me, preventing me from going forward even after the light 
changed. There was barely enough room for me to squeeze by her and slip 
into the other lane in order to make the light. I nudged her bumper with 
mine ever so slightly as I did so -- but didn't really think I'd done any 
harm. Apparently she thought differently, as I learned after she chased me 
down for two blocks, honking and flashing her lights. I pulled over and 
got out of my car, filled with indignation."You hit my car!" she 
cried."You cut me off!" I protested."You scratched my 
bumper!""I barely touched you..."This went on for several 
minutes, and I was getting pretty mad. But as I was reaching into the car 
for my insurance info, it occurred to me that I wasn't mad at her. I was 
mad because she was right. I did hit her car. Whether or not I 
caused any appreciable damage, the fact remained that I caused my car to come in 
contact with her car. I looked at her and said, "You know what -- you're 
right, I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry."Suddenly the whole 
situation changed. Her face relaxed and she actually smiled, "It's not so 
bad. I can probably fix it with some rubbing compound."And that 
was that. She was satisfied. She didn't even want my insurance 
info. All she wanted was for me to admit that I was wrong and to 
apologize. And it really wasn't that hard to do. And it was 
free. After that, I learned that a lot of situations can be diffused 
merely by admitting that I was wrong and apologizing. Even if I don't 
think I'm wrong, I can still apologize. It doesn't cost me anything and it 
seems to do wonders for people who are upset. Who knew?Another 
time, I was pulling away from the curb and some guy who was coming around the 
left side of a parked bus decided to swerve into my lane. He tore my front 
bumper halfway off and left it dangling in the street. As it turned out he 
was an old Asian man who could barely speak English and had a lot of trouble 
seeing when it came time for to write down his name for me. I think he was 
legally blind. Naturally the accident was my fault, since I 
was pulling away from the curb and he had the "right of way". I don't see 
how you can call it the "right of way" when the guy is changing lanes without 
looking or signaling and can't see beyond the end of his nose, but them's the 
rules.Anyway he went on his way and I was stuck with a torn-off 
bumper. As I was attempting to try and figure out what the hell I was 
going to do, a hispanic man, who had been sitting at the bus stop and had 
witnessed the whole thing, came over and started helping me. He didn't 
speak any English either and he didn't really need to say much, he just tied my 
bumper back onto the frame with some rope I had in the trunk and then got on his 
bus. He didn't ask for money, he didn't seem to expect any thanks -- he 
just wanted to help. I drove around with that tied-on bumper for several 
months before I finally got it fixed. And when I called my insurance 
company to see if my rates were going up, I found out that the old Asian guy 
never filed a claim. He could have, but I guess he decided not 
to.Despite these positive experiences, I have become a

Re: FLUXLIST: FLUXUS ANTHOLOGY 2005

[suse]

Just back from a romantic ride on an old train from New York to Miami and
back.
TOO many entries to read backwards
But, in answer to the previous strains of this particular email..:
I did purchase the FLUXUS ANTHOLOGY 2005.
When I bought it I played and listened.
My head was in a perturbed box of eldervine
and I was displeased with the cd and pissed off to boot.

Then, after I quit my job I thought I'd give it another try.
That lyrically haunting Bottom of the Stairs,
which, on first hearing was about 2 minutes too long--
was actually most pleasing, even more so because it had been echoing in my
mind
in myriad permutation
since I'd heard it last.
Perhaps it, the song itself,
helped transform me to my present state
which can be most well defined as PJ: Post Job
The time before the teaching Job is now BJ for Before Job,
and during is now known as DJ for During Job.
In PJ time I have more time-- to listen to things, respond, and even
occassionally jam some word or two together to form a complete sentence.
So, yes, I LOVED that, then there was bAllAd olo dAllAb, which I enjoyed,
familiar and yet not enough recognition for me yet, I know that I will be
listening to it again. Perhaps now?
No, I'll wait otherwise this brief chat note
will turn into another holy friggin novel.

ahem.Heat transfer--I could definitely feel it and felt it transfer to me
and I don't remember what I did with it then but a nice signifying
sound--sweet, Must listen to #70 again--I missed it before I was aware--
I sing Woob Woob all the time
Madawg sister honey I hear you
Alan's Kitchen--On the first hearing my critical New England pickled
cynicism spoke up with an I-can-do--that smugness which we all know is full
of holes. (It is like the Woody Allen joke about not wanting to be in a club
that would accept me as a member. Its is also why I think all you
fluxlisters must be perfectly loathsome creatures. )
So anyway, I was getting into it when I had to go do some chore or other.
So that is where we are leaving the review for now--I'll continue later if
anyone is interested.

I found a new job.

FLUXLIST: Grizzly Girl/Pardon the interruption

[suse]

Pardon this rant--I know I shouldn't --ignor it of 
course if you like--perhaps it is not fluxus related--been ranting for 
days--spose I need a blog. Anyway, I am over and out fer awhile again after this 
one... so don't fret
Grizzly Girl

Or The Attack 
of the 50 Foot Woman, Or The Two Americas Revisited, Or How I 
became a Street Thug
by Suse Allison

I recently and intensely experienced a fall common 
to the humanoid; The dreaded dark night of the soul. What makes this 
particularly dangerous forme in particular is that Ilike to hit 
bottom. I don't know about other people, but I am almost happy when I finally 
hit bottom. I act it out with a joie de vivre that only the French can make 
sound as delectable as it is. Seems a paradox, no? Believe me, the falling 
itself is agony, the subtle, daily, slip-sliding is no picnic. Ah, but hitting 
the bottom somehow feels like home again.

I am ready now, here, in desperation to march down 
the Middle of Main Street. Iremember a movie poster from the early 60's. A 
lithograph featuring a gigantic woman, crushing the highways, picking up cars in 
her hands with vicious intent. I never saw the movie but the movie poster was 
enough; her sneer is what I feel. Her derangedscowl as she wreaks havoc on 
the civilized world is exactly what I have in mind.

I am ready again, to March down the Middle of Main 
street--against traffic, just like Vesta Thomas used to do. Or As his friends 
call him, Vesta Arresta--so called for having the longest arrest record in 
Middletown History. Others call him bear, because they know him as one of the 
warmest, gentlest in Middletown History.

So, what started the fall? I quit my job. Quitting 
a job is something I have been warned since childhood to never, ever, do. It is 
like jumping off a moving train or boat-- you will never catch up again. You 
need to wait until you get to a junction, a station to change trains, or a life 
boat at least to get you to the next place. Something. You don't just quit your 
job. Well, I did. I knew I would find other work. And I did. The only problem is 
that having been diagnosed with breast cancer and the subsequent surgeries and 
treatments have left me in reduced capacity to work--at least temporarily. 
Still, if you are living simply, as we do, one missed paycheck begins a 
devastating downward spiral as the paychecks disappear completely. An epidemic 
of famine hits the home finance department and tensions rise, things taken for 
granted become precious.

And yet, I have done it before. Am I just that 
selfish? Of course I am--it is another way to beat yourself over the head as 
your outlook follows your finances into the abysmaldownward spiral. I 
havejumped off the train before and the adventures I have had along the 
railroad tracks have been some of the most intensely beautiful moments of my 
life. The paradox again is that those moments give you back reason for staying 
on the train again in the first place. As you watch it disappearing round the 
bend. 

Affirmations of living are important to those who 
dwell often in melancholy. We would trade our lives for but a moment in the sun. 
But then comes remembrance, responsibility and the emotions that tie us to this 
earth. The fantasy, it turns out is not enough, a return to obscure torture is 
demanded.( remanded?)

But the long dark night of the soul, after three or 
four sunrises does not seem so bad. It is no mystery to me why so many of the 
earliest religions worshipped the sun. What a super-yang-spirit-phenomenon with 
an accountability record like no other--except the moon. The moon!
Ah, the moon! The Sumerians called her Sin. What a 
sultry-yin-spirit-perfectly diametrically opposed orb, with a compassion and 
regard like no other--except the sun! And when both are full and round, one 
comes up as the other goes down...

So, why is one of the subtitles of this 
essayThe two Americas...?
Well, because when you are sliding down the 
slippery slope from security to despair, or, as in my case, you've already hit 
bottom-- you encounter and entirely different set of connections and 
possibilities. Points of view become clear from which you were previously 
occluded. At least in my experience, a stirring of compassion, not just the 
daily kind, with which you commiserate with acquaintances over casually--but the 
electrifying kind, the feel it in the blood kind, that makes you compassionate 
with the oppressed, or the starving, or the brutalized, or the merely 
innocent.

It is not always apparent either. I am certain that 
others feel it. Weonly need to pay attention to the rants and tirades in 
ourown speech.
What angers you when you read the newspaper or 
watch the evening news?. Is it Abu graib? It is prices? Is it another politician 
revealed? It is when you begin to rail out loud when no one is around--it is 
during those moments when you most locate your brothers and sisters; your 
kindred spirits. Those who endure what you

then she found some fluxus in her basement
left there either by the Mix it up chappie or
bibiana padilla maltos,
which then caused her, me, to
contact this confounding list
in the first place.(And seemed to coincide with a bukoff
to become fed up and the secret fluxus to become
even more secretive, among other developments...)
In the second place fluxus was 
omitted from the feature,
as were many other topics of conversation,
probably due to convolutedness 
and other translation hurdles.

Synergy: 
Sight and Sound, a high-energy free-style Jazz band,the innovative 
collaboration between sculptor/designer Amir Bey and musician/composer Saco 
Yasuma, begins a series of concerts at Bowery Poetry Clubon Thursday, January 26, 2006, at 
10 PM.Thisseries 
follows afestive performance at Bowery Poetry Club that was held on 
October 14, 2005. The 
band,featuring Yasuma on reeds and percussion, Sabir Mateen, reeds and 
flutes, Ras Moshe, reeds and flutes, Jackson Krall, Drums, and Francois Grillot 
on Bass, wear mixed media masks and silkscreen prints on nylon costumes designed 
by Bey. Bey's set designcombineslong sheetsof silkscreen 
prints onnylon,and suspended mobile-like percussive instruments that 
are fabricated from canvas, aluminum screen mesh, and acrylic. These 
instruments areformed intoshapessuch as clouds, swinging 
anthropomorphic figures, music notes,and masks withbells attached to 
them. Yasuma's original compositions range fromher forceful "The 
Roar of Wood", to the contemplative "Peace Dance", and "Rain". 
Yasuma isat home playing percussive instruments orher bamboo 
saxophone as she is with her main axe, the alto saxophone. 
Synergy's concept is based on weavingthe visual and audio arts; 
thesounds and movements of the musicians are 
visuallyenhanced,and theaudio potentials 
forsculptureare explored.There are moments when the band 
plays the instruments from the on-stage installation, twirling, swinging, and 
dancing with them.
Profiles of the 
SYNERGY 
Artists
Mixed media sculptor and curator 
Amir Bey has worked 
with musicians and performers since the 1970s, including set designs and 
costumes for Idris Ackamoor and Rodessa Jones of Cultural Odyssey,Maria 
Mitchell of Black Pearl Dance Company, and Lorna Littleway, whohave 
incorporated his art intheir productions. Bey is based in 
New 
York, where he has organized 
exhibitions since 1989; he has also exhibited internationally, including 
Turkey, 
Japan, 
Spain, Italy, Martinique,and 
Germany. Recently, his "Procession 
of Folk #3", a series of 12 faceted glass windows,was permanently 
installed by the MTA at the Mount Eden station on the #4 line in the 
Bronx.
Alto saxophonist, 
composerand band leader Saco 
Yasuma has written manystyles of music since she was the 
age of ten. She intenselybegan composing for various ensembles since 2001 
in NYC, including the annual Billy Parkerconcert at 
Rockland College. Recentwork with musicians 
such as Ras Moshe, Roy Campbell, Billy Bang,Luther Thomasand Sabir 
Mateen has motivatedher to new approaches for writing free improvisational 
music.
The iconoclastic and masterful 
multi-instrumentalist, Sabir Mateen, who plays "action music", has been 
called a "gentle giant" who can "display controlled intensity without falling 
into undisciplined methodology" (Cook, Collins). His current ensembles such as 
Juxtapositions, M.A.S.K., Shapes, Textures  Sound Ensemble, and Movement Of 
The Future Ark, and his otherprojectsare leading influences 
onthe internationalavant-garde scene.
Ros Moshe, a third generation reed player 
who, although trained in earlier forms of "Jazz", says his preferred mode of 
improvisation is in the later or "free" developments of the music. Hehas 
ledThe Music Now Unitsince 1999 and played with manyoriginal 
artists such as Billy Bang, William Parker, William Hooker, and Kali Z. 
Fasteau. He is a firm believer in the positive effects of the new music 
for social and personal change.
Jackson Krall, a drummerwho is noted for 
his sensitive accompaniment as well as his precise playing, has been performing 
with Cecil Taylor since the mid 1990s.Krallhas been working 
with many of the "cutting edge" musicians of this time; of him bassist William 
Parker has said, "His multi-leveled drumming has propelled many bands in the 
New 
York music scene..."Other 
artists he recorded or performed with are Rob Brown,Alan Silva, Chris 
Kelsey, and Don Cherry to name a few.
Francois Grillot is a versatile bassist and 
composer who has performed and recorded with such artists as Daniel Carter, 
Steve Swell, Roy Campbell, Burton Greene,and many others. Hehas 
lived in New York 
City for the last twenty-five years 
and for the last five has rediscovered "a certain je ne sais quoi interest" for 
improvised music. He will be featured in the very latest recording of Dom 
Minasi, whichwill be released soon.

fascinating. I agree that music playes a large part in eventual complete stop of 
the perverse observer.

Re: RE: FLUXLIST: Jack A. Withers Smote poem

[suse]

another W.S.

XXIX.

When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

query
Mr. Withers Smote: would you consider exchanging yet for cake based on
this reading?

   Okay - the two short lines are released to float
  amidst the three
   quatrains. fine
  
   And the ends of the lines rhyme, in a relaxed way
  - in the
   Shakespeareanstyle actually -
  
   But what about the meter and the rhythm? Answer me
  that!

   Uh, it is a sonnet unless you define sonnet in
  strictly narrow
   terms, as
   being only a Shakespearean or Petrarchan.
  This is one of
   Bennett'ssonnet forms, as seen by Smote.  But it's
  got the 14
   lines, 3 quatrains,
   and a couplet consisting of the 2 short lines.  A
  fairly traditional
   sonnet in form in my book.  Bennett is getting
  reactionary perhaps?
