This is a very sad and huge loss for Fluxus...for all of us. Emily was very enthusiastic about Fluxus and very open. Emily is the only person in old-school Fluxus I know of who was able to remain friendly with and could bring together all the various "warring" factions of Fluxus. She also didn't seem to have a strong ideology about whether Fluxus was dead or not (i.e., ended with Maciunas death or not) and encouraged me (and others) to keep doing things under that banner if our hearts were in it. She seemed to be one of the few to try to keep putting her arms around the whole thing. The Emily Harvey Gallery in New York has to be the longest running Fluxus-dedicated gallery in the world (it was one of George Maciunas' early renovations in SoHo) and there will be a big whole in my cosmology of Fluxus without it. And without Emily Harvey.
Sail on Emily.
