Friends, artists, and fellow fakers,
Somebody please be kind enough to tell me what Fluxus really is.
Clearly, I must've been mistaken, as there is plenty of hostility and
negativity concerning false Fluxus and who is more Fluxus than someone
else. Mr. Andersen, I acknowledge your history with Fluxus and I understand
that you are a well established artist in the Fluxus field. Maybe you would
be the one to provide a detailed and rigid form of what art must be to be
defined as Fluxus, and more importantly, why, as you seem to be the only
person who sees Fluxus in any sort of limited scope.
As for the rest of us dreamers, who feel what we've been doing and
discussing is still art, maybe it's time we came up with a name for
ourselves. If we're not Fluxus, then dammit, we're still something.
