It is just one note but I don't know what other directions may have been
present on the score

BTW - aren't these performances involving naked women just a little sexist,
or is it just me who thinks that. Notice the men at these things are always
fully clothed. Ben Patterson's "Lick Piece" is a similar example of such an
outmoded art attitude within the Fluxus tradition. Maybe I'm wrong but I
think that it would be interesting to re-interpret such pieces either where
everyone is so fully clothed to the point of suffocation ( e.g all
performers wear three coats) or where the men are naked and the women
dressed in dinner jackets. This way you could do something new which also
offers further reflection on some of the excessively macho aspects of
sixties conceptual art. Of course you're all consenting adults and can do
what you like but I think all too often such performances lead to mere
voyeurism. Some role reversal could be interesting, certainly events by
female artists such as Carolee Schneemann's "Meat Joy" (this springs to mind
because men and women are in equal states of undress) do not suffer from
such inequalities between the sexes.
Anyhow that's my fourpenneth/two cents,
cheers,
Sol.
