Hi all, Just got back to my e-mail after my christmas holiday and shocked to hear of Patricia's death. I remember hearing she was ill but didn't know any details.
Does anyone know if any obituaries/ tributes have been published apart from the ones on the list? A couple of people asked what we should do to as a tribute to Patricia. The only idea I have is as follows: That we add a Fluxlist Obituaries item to the Fluxlist archives. A link with text such as "Fluxlist Obituaries - Friends no longer with us" and then a list of names that links to an obituary page for each member of Fluxlist that we've lost, which so far is I think is Dick Higgins, Nicholas Zurbrugg and Patricia Harris (aka Princess Petal). Where an obituary has existed in the press I suggest it be reproduced. If nothing like that exists then I suggest we work out something with those who knew the deceased best. Also I'm sorry to hear about Robin Crozier........someone I'd always intended to correspond with but never got round to it. I assume there'll be some sort of exhibition/publication in tribute........can people let me know if they hear anything with regard to this. Whilst on this somewhat grim topic of artists no longer with us. There will be an exhibition in tribute to the late Brian Lane (Fluxus/ Performance/Book artist) in Ipswich in February..I have printed details which I can give to anyone interested. Also I will try and produce some e-announcement of it nearer the time. A book about the work of Brian Lane has also now appeared and is available from amazon as follows Printed Performance Brian Lane, Martin Rogers (Editor), Simon Cutts (Editor) Our Price: �9.50 Availability: We expect to be able to find this title for you within 4-6 weeks. Please note that titles occasionally go out of print or publishers run out of stock. Paperback (September 2001) RGA P (Research Group for Artists Publications); ISBN: 0954063902 Anyway, please let me know what you all think about the Fluxlist Obituaries idea. Also is anyone doing something to archive all the web pages and digital work that Petal produced? We should make sure this stuff doesn't disappear as her webspace will no doubt be deleted once it has not be used for a while. On a more positive note I'd like to wish all of you a happy new year and hope that 2002 brings you all happiness. cheers, Sol.
