What I know about George Maciunas is that he was always organizing projects and sending people proposals for such projects through the mail and I suspect that things got screwed up/miscommunicated once in a while and people thought it was political when it was more just glitch-ical. This is in addition to the occasional big internal intentional political/intellectual/ego fights and animosities that seemed to have gone on, too. I also believe Maciunas officially "excommunicated" and then "re-communicated" quite a few people as his conflicts and personal animosities ebbed and flowed. I also believe that Dick Higgins didn't think this "excommunication" stuff had much of any real import on what people were doing. Sounds like a bunch of normal human nature stuff...perhaps fueled by extra coffee. >Is this what the original fluxus was like, people going back and forth on >protocols and what was said and/or recognized? > >I'm not being sarcastic, just curious >Alex > > >>From: allen bukoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Subject: FLUXLIST: The St. Auby Tamas' tests and proposal to which Eric >>Anderson referred? >>Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2001 11:06:06 -0700 >> >>Fluxlisters,
