Well, dear Fluxlisters, we live here in Hunan-domain (China)
in the biggest islamitic community of China.
As you certainly know we don't believe
in representation as such.
Consequently we appreciate the
iconoclastic approaches of the Western art and culture.
We would like to maintain the healthy tradition of exchanges
by mail art.
Our suggestion is:
we send to you as exchange
one piece of hair (beard - 1.4 cm) of
Prophet Mohammed (Blessed is His Name)
for
one can of Titiano's shit,
some molecules of Duchamp's sperme,
one phial of Marilyn Monroe's tear dropped while looked at Marlon Brando,
and the teeth of President G. W. Bush.
Thank you in advance.
Hugh!
