Hello Everyone--
Badger girl has asked if S.Home was not the author of various titles--
here are some of his--i should note that his ASSAULT ON CULTURE Utopian Currents from Lettrisem to Class War is a good book--it has a very aggressive style--yet does conver alot of ground that is so often just ignored--
there are chapters re Mail Art and Fluxus that are good--
there are alsovchapters re Situationism in relation to the arts--the period of involvement with the Italians for example--invovllements of painters such a s Gallizio whio made immensely long paintings that are scroled and unscroled --and you just buy it at what ver lenght you want--a painting machine at work!--and Asger jorn, a very interesting artis and writer and collecotr of Nordic Arts--)
it has immense bibliography which wd be useful to ones interested --
i liked it he sets out to examine "Utopian Currents"--and keeps this in mind throughout
Home was very involevd in the neosit and Art Atrike endeavors and has some books out on these also--
as well as one on plagiarlism
he also authors skinhead novels--i have read one--very violent and cltohes conscious, with rough sex thrown in--the one i read is called SLOW DEATH--basuically a good solid "gerne" novel--brutal and effecitve in that manner--not a pelasant read--on purpose--which i dont have a probelm with as it is in keping with the material in yr face style--
i thought people on the list here might find wom e of his writings regarding esp fluxus and Mail Art interesting if you don't already know of the books--
he emphasizes that at first Fluxus was being done by musicians--rthe role they palyed in it and stil do today --on thislist many of us involeved with music/sounds/noise--to be sure!
