well, i just went to the most depressing art event ever. it was a supposed
panel on fluxus to promote the 'playing with matches' exhibit of al hansen
and rock star grandson beck hansen. it was rumoured that beck was going to
show up, but he didn't - he probably anticipated the poor quality of the
panel. al hansen is a very interesting and important artist to fluxus. in
fact he was one of the guys in cage's new school class. i thought about
interrupting with a performance piece, but this panel was just so
half-assed it didn't even make me want to intervene! there were a few
moments of interest, when this young guy (i won't mention names) smashed a
violin in hommage to paik, but mostly it was tripe.
i have decided to seriously study and reperform some classic fluxus and
dada pieces starting this year.
anyone wishing to help me do so is invited to email me scores or good
sources. i already have 'fluxus reader' and 'ubi fluxus',
thank you very much!
