my reply:huh?

I have (in my mind) an ongoing fluxus project. I rent a space upstairs with an ocean view for my antiques business. I started putting fluxus things in there and made it look somewhat like an art studio. The art studio was my original intention but antiques make lots more money. The fluxus objects are not for sale-only trade, but Fluxus books are for sale. I see the whole space as an art installation. The idea that objects that come to me are random--by chance. I have a sign in the space that says"fluxus happens here". I use to have a cash register with fluxusbucks but it sold. Since Thomas Kinkade(painter of light) goes to the malls I thought why not Madawg Painter of Dark. There is also a gallery space here and I had a fluxus show in it last year. I showed "collectible fluxus" objects such as fluxbox1 and Fluxshoe magazine and I showed my work- some in collaboration with others on the internet.
But true to the nature of Fluxus my fluxus space changes at random.
Also I am listed in Who's Who and this year I listed myself as a Fluxus artist thereby carrying fluxus a step further into the mainstream.
My main point about how I act within Fluxus is that its inclusive and not elitist- I am talking about Fluxus now, not in the past. I like to consider myself working class fluxus.
