I shd note--re "Something Else"--Dick Higgins' old press up in
vermont--
main influence for me not even a "real life" artist for all saying
about the "concrete"--but Gulley Jimson from the novel and film--THE
HORSE'S
MOUTH--
art/life--not a barrier at all, but an invitation--
to live in an open world--which opens continually all around one,
as "present" (gift) in the "present" (now)--
i think part of what this Fluxus--is about, is just as Filliou
envisioned and so wisely noted--"Eternal Network"--
community/communication--
one is not alone--
not the Romantic Artist
(hence all those questions re "who is Fluxus" etc--is more
important hat the work goes on--events, happenings, open ness--than some
codifying of signatures, documents-, though these all of course, of
interest, --yet one must be, in the spirit of the "originators",
(who Heard and Sw--from Others, Something Else--already around--) moving
onwo/ards--
otherwise, why condemn them all to fossils or--mummies or
monuments,
galleries and museums--
seems sad fate--
Tut: King Tut--silent, except for the loud oratory of GOLD--
is one to presume to make these Flux artists so--when best thing
is
to go on working--the --veins in the rocks they ahve opened for
ANARKEYOLOGY?--
a rhetorical question!--
veins of rock--or of blood-is veins one must--live whit in
this--life/art--fusing--
of time and space into--events, objects, happenings,
exchanges--words and works--performance--thinkings, recipes--
"brew-ha ha"
--
or brou ha ha--
incendiary sounds form petroleusues or others in the streets--or
inside--oneself--
must be some kind of Fluxus beyond
containment--in the exploding cannisters--
