David and all-
Dave, once again you have hit the perverbial nail right on it's tiny,
little, ugly head.
The things that I have been apart of and discussions I have been involved in
since I have been on this list have done me well in my artistic, as well as
my personal life.
I haven't been on for too terribly long but what I have seen has always been
a positive influence on me until the bickering started. I for one could do
with out it.
I have always enjoyed the lite chitter-chatter and witty exchanges. It
doesn't always have to be deep intelectual thought provoking discussions,
does it? The intelectual topics are great, I am not knocking them, but what
I am saying is that the lite-hearted chatter among friends is fantastic.
I have gotten to know a lot about everybody, and not just what projects
they've done and what isms they lean towards.
The dialogue among friends, even banal dialogue, is nurturing to the
artistic process.
Maybe it is not the "Historical Fluxus" but isn't that what fluxus is-
change and flux, the every day- the mundane as art.
I hope I am not too far off the mark here.
Anyway, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate grrrls and boys all a flutter,
That's all I got- just adding my 52 cents.
Thanx
disco
