At last week's reception for Daniel Spoerri at Emily Harvey Gallery I
conducted some research. I distributed a survey to attempt to assess Eric
Andersen's alleged assertion that "All the authentic Fluxus artists
consider the Fluxlist to be a truly absurd parody." This activity was
also presented as being a performance. You can view a description of this
activity (with photo documentation) at
http://www.fluxus.org/FluxusMidwest/Research/fluxlist.html .
I am unable to report the survey results. however, because I have placed
the sealed ballot box containing the completed surveys for auction on eBay
at http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=348343143" . So
if you really want to know the results and/or want a fine artifact of
modern art, head over to the auction. Bidding starts at 1.00 (will be
surprised if it goes much higher). Auction ends in ten days.
