Pieces by John Gibson, Christian Wolff, Pauline Oliveros and NMC members will be performed. Outside the performance space, there will be a number of installations using rocks. I am thinking about doing an installation/performance (I will also be performing in the ensemble). My idea is to kneel down by a pile of stones and a sign that reads "let he who is without sin cast the first stone." This is a simple idea (although rich in implications), and I am sure it has been done before. But who? When? Where? For their project, a group of "conceptual art" students at Cornell in Ithaca, NY, 1974, rented a school bus and took students and faculty up to a quarry where we had a performance play. It started with "stoning" an outcast. The outcast went into a pit and everyone threw what they could find. Only problem was people got really into it, not like in the rehearsal. I was the "outcast" getting stoned and remember getting really scared and adrenaline rushing. That stopped and we scrambled up a cliff. It was a little like the Magical Mystery Tour and there everyone was at the top of the cliff. Something drew me to the edge and I recall thinking how easy it would be to just jump -- as part of the performance! Luckily something drew me back more and I didn't. So we all scrambled down again, sat in an oval and smoked a real peace pipe. There was much more to this, but as the "outcast" (self-appointed?) I not entirely cognizant of the script though there was also audio and I still have a recording somewhere. Not as simple as a rock pile and glass wall, but related.

Re: FLUXLIST: performance with scrap metal
I performed the following on a public sidewalk in Seattle on June 9, 2001. Arrangement for Scrap Metal : A Composition in Two Parts Part 1 - Place pieces of scrap metal in a line on the ground. Part 2 - Pick up the pieces in the order in which they were placed. Other than one advance post on Fluxlist (on June 8) there was no prior publicity. The scrap metal consisted of approximately 450 pocket-sized pieces of metal, mostly picked up on the streets of Seattle over the past year - screws, washers, bolts, bits of wire, jewelry, keys, etc. I will soon have a more detailed document prepared about the event. If you would like a copy, let me know. If you want a text-only e-mail, send me your e-mail address. If you want a printed version (a xerographic booklet), send me your postal address. Tom G.

Interesting, I viewed a televised special on the recent Rauchenberg exhibit and commmitted to memory the fact that they taped him making monoprints on wet watercolor paper from an inkjet print. It's in the P.K. memory but I have yet to try it. I've done the acetone method, but I have developed an aversion to chemicals, so, if I use chemicals for any type of process, I use them outdoors. Re the timepiece work - Dave, I was disappointed that the texture of your pieces was lost in the scan process, but I like the different dimension it brings through the loss of dimension, if that makes any sense.

Re: FLUXLIST: performance score/making transfers (very useful)
Can use acetone to do the transfers from xeroxes--so xerox images from newspaper etc and then transfer w/ acetone, a relatively benign solvent (much less deadly than some others). Also, since the advent of soy inks, the old solvent-transfer from newspaper thing doesn't work as well. This circumvents that.

Re: FLUXLIST: performance score/making transfers (very useful)
Dave, I spent yesterday making transfers in the studio -- discovered that if I used photocopies from my landlord's downstairs copy machine, using turps as a transfer medium transferred black, but using denatured alcohol transferred blue -- got some really cool effects, and really heady fumes, by using both on the same photocopy. Will mail you a sample. Well, I Never Been to Heaven (for D.B.C) 1. Use any number of flammable solvents in a small, closed room. 2. Pleased with your accomplishments, light up for a satisfying smoke. 3. Note, if possible, the accuracy of the warning statements on the solvent containers. NB: This performance score in no way advocates smoking, or the improper use of flammable solvents. It is merely provided for your entertainment. Should anyone be injured and/or killed as a result of trying to perform this score, the author will not be held responsible or even made to feel the least bit guilty. Alright, the author will *probably* feel a little guilty. But not enough to cause her to stop working in the studio and travel the country with nothing but an empty container of turpentine and a spent lighter, relying on the kindness of strangers and local police to keep her fed and sheltered.
