I would recommend the Al Hanson catalogue from Cologne, many "Bruce
Naumans" there, was Alan Ginsberg Fluxus ?? And maybe the "Westkunst"
catalogue, also Cologne. The Al Hanson catalogue is from 97 or 98 I think.
The Alan Ginsberg contribution as an gateway to literature ? What are the
topics or running gags or whatever you see in literature ?
Fluxlist as a "way of living", life with the computer and the modem, the
times are changing and fluxlist is maybe, what fluxus or before was, just
a group of workers, a group of friends, artists working etc. Who owns the
name, the label ? What is this label still good for ?
Russian and french revolution, napoleaon and the sowjet empire, ideology
and power, somehow "fluxus" and Maciunas remind to this. Maybe the "cage
class" approach would be more effectiv. Pictures of the crew, somehow like
those Paul Bowles etc pictures in tanger. Alan Ginsbergs drawings, he did
some ASCII thing with the typewriter for Hansen, intermedia.
Are there any direct connections between fluxus "members" and the CIA ?
