nope! he's still the cloudsmith. geoff's work and indeed his actual personality, perhaps don't smack of fluxus, initially. very much the macrobiotic hippy style, but closer inspection of geoff's works reveals a sensibilty akin to those producers of the early event scores etc. perhaps it's easy to get sidetracked by the whimsicality, the jokes and the irony of a lot of classic 'maciunas governed' fluxus, and to ignore the rest. it's interesting that geoff often gets lumped into a 'not really very fluxy' category yet alison knowles not- yet for me their is an air of 'similarity' (not sure if that is the best way to describe it) - at least in the feel of their works. is it not interesting that in, for want of a better term, 'group' so diverse and so widely discussed, that often the 'everything is fluxus' or 'everything is open to interpretation as fluxus' that a common point of discussion is 'just how fluxus was/is.....?' if, for example, fluxus must be accepted due to historical definition as a definite 'group' or even 'movement' as is often claimed. then, examination of said group will reveal a gigantic, diverse range of activity (even among the inner core of accepted fluxus artists). is it possble to have some sort of scale within? there is the fluxus chart compiled by (filliou & williams?/ - i don't remember - Bertrand?) which charts presence at wiesbaden etc and forwm the beginnings of a fluxscale. but a new official fluxometer could be good. Geoff Hendricks - 4.7 on the Fluxscale fun but doesn't make much sense what i think i wanted to say was yes geoff still does clouds and bits of wood and string etc how can we judge the fluxusishness of someone/thing? i think i have sunstroke alan
