Fluxers,
I would like to introduce you to Rational Rec, a monthly inter-art social
occasion that is held at the Bethnal Green Working Men's Club. It was recently
hailed in Time Out as one of the "best nights out" in London, but more
importantly is an amazing example of current Fluxus happening in London. Every
month, various artists (some local, some from around the world) gather together
to mingle new musical compositions with live art performances, film, poetry, and
more under an umbrella theme.
