Isn't it the standard protocol to add the prefix "post-" before the term and make things even more obtuse? Perhaps the term 'Fluxus' is not so important... it is a word which we associate particular tendencies and ideas with, but making it much more concrete limits its potential. Defining and clarifying things may rob them of their potency! Dick Higgins wrote something lampooning "movements" once (sorry, I don't have the exact quote with me... its in 'Dialectic of Centuries', though). It was quite funny... but perhaps another tally mark for 'fluxus' being a "spirit" or "condition" rather than a group of people associated with each other. Should we even bother talking about whether DADA exists? love, anne -- Anne Drogyness, "artist" "Interested in nothing"
