Ken Friedman needs no introduction to FLUXLIST...he helped start this email list way back in April of 1996. But let me just tell you a FEW of the things I think I know and do admire about Ken Friedman. He has been all over and in Fluxus since he was a 16 year old kid from Illinois who met the likes of George Maciunas, Dick Higgins, and Alison Knowles in New York in the middle 1960s and recognized that something huge and wonderful was going on. Dr. Friedman is now Associate Professor of Leadership and Strategic Design, Department of Knowledge Management, in the Norwegian School of Management. Besides being a major participant in and scholar of Fluxus, Ken has probably done more than anyone else in the world to promote awareness of Fluxus in the hinterlands and beyond its origins in the art world. I like to think of Ken as being the Johnny Appleseed of Fluxus. Many of us here--whether we know it or not--found Fluxus because of the Fluxus seeds scattered by Ken Friedman. One of Ken's recent projects (with Owen Smith) is worth repeating here: The free-to-download revised and expanded version of the Fluxus Performance Workbook, a collection of short performance works and event scores by over forty artists. http://www.performance-research.net/pages/epublications.html .

FLUXLIST: Fwd: Drei Jahre Dienstleistung Kunst - Press Release
In the email today... Date: Tue, 03 Jun 2003 20:00:47 +0200 From: Dienstleistung Kunst [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Drei Jahre Dienstleistung Kunst - Press Release * Dienstleistung Kunst 3. Juni 2003 * P R E S S E M I T T E I L U N G zur sofortigen Veröffentlichung * Drei Jahre Dienstleistung Kunst Eine Gruppe von bildenden und darstellenden Künstlern, Musikern, Schriftstellern, Kunstwissenschaftlern und Forschern aus den Bereichen Neue Medien trat zu Beginn des neuen Jahrtausends in einen regen Gedankenaustausch, um die Bedingungen für die Produktion und Rezeption von Kunst zu verändern, neue Formen der Kunstpräsentation zu erproben und mit einer spartenübergreifenden Kooperation der Künste zu experimentieren. Alle Beteiligten an den Diskussionsforen waren sich einig, daß den theoretisierenden Erörterungen praktische Aktionen zu folgen hätten und gründeten dazu als Organisationsstruktur einen neuen Kunstverein, dessen Namensgebung auch die programmatische Absicht verdeutlicht: Dienstleistung Kunst. In der Präambel der Vereinssatzung wird die Notwendigkeit formuliert, Aufgabe und Funktion der Kunst und die Stellung des Künstlers in einer sich stetig und gravierend verändernden Welt neu zu bestimmen. Als Zweck des Vereins wird u.a. die Schaffung von optimalen Arbeits- und Entfaltungsmöglichkeiten für Künstler und die Kunst gesehen. Dabei erkennen es die Initiatoren der Dienstleistung Kunst als wesentlich an, in dem zu schaffenden, auf gegenseitige Unterstützung angelegten Netzwerk die traditionellen Grenzen der Künste aufzuheben und durch gemeinsame Aktionen zu überwinden. Den theoretischen Erörterungen, zu der auch ein zweitägiges öffentliches Symposium im Herbst 2001 in Masserberg in Thüringen gehörte, wird nun ein Ausstellungsprojekt hinzugefügt, das die Ideen der Dienstleistung Kunst anschaulich macht. Pfingsten 2003 findet im Saalbau Theisen in Mittelstrimmig, einem kleinen Hunsrückort, unter dem Motto Das Recht auf Glück ein komplexes Kunst-Ereignis statt, das neben der Präsentation von Bildern, Objekten und Videos Musik- und Theateraufführungen integriert und durch Vorträge, wichtige Inhaltliche Zusammenhänge klärt. Die Namen der beteiligten Künstler sowie den genauen Ablaufplan entnehmen Sie bitte unserer Website. Ort: Saalbau Theisen, Hauptstraße 71, 56858 Mittelstrimmig Zeit:Samstag, 7. Juni bis Montag 9. Juni 2003 Ausstellung: 7. Juni bis 6.

FLUXLIST: Please welcome Doug Blandy
FLUXLISTers, please welcome Doug Blandy. Doug is the Director of the Arts and Administration Program at the University of Oregon as well as Director of the Institute for Community Arts Studies at the University. He teaches courses such as Art and Community, Art and Human Values, and Zines and Do-It-Yourself Democracy. The institute publishes an e-zine called CultureWork. Here is what Doug says about his interest in Fluxus: I have a long interest in Fluxus and while living in Columbus, Ohio, during the late 70s early 80s became familiar with the work of John Bennett. My current interest in Fluxus is associated with research I am doing around a loose knit coalition of community activists and organizations advocating a DIY lifestyle to counter the effects of corporate industrialization and mass consumption. With an 'out there' or 'in your face' attitude, DIY activists promote an ethic that demands that the arts and culture be free from control by large national and multinational corporations. The manner in which DIY materials are created, distributed, and valued provides insight into the cultural dimensions of DIY. In this regard I am considering DIY in relationship to the larger history of communities of resistance as well as how it is influenced by Surrealism, Dada, the Situationists, Fluxus, and punk rock.

FLUXLIST: Fluxchart
Dear Friends, Alan Bowman writes, 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. In the late 1970s, I proposed using the sociological technique of content analysis to give a broad view of Fluxus. In 1981 or so, Peter Frank and I did a simple checklist analysis of the names the artists presented in the exhibitions, catalogues and books on Fluxus up to that time. Frank organized it into a chart. In 1991, using my model, James Lewes, a graduate research assistant at Alternative Traditions in the Contemporary Arts of the University of Iowa, took the Peter Frank chart and brought it forward in time. To establish a consensus of expert opinions, the chart was based on a comprehensive survey of major Fluxus exhibitions, catalogues and books up to the exhibitions that were already on tour at the beginning of 1992. Lewes attempted to include every project intended as a survey of Fluxus. He also reviewed exhibitions in which a survey of Fluxus was presented as a special section, for example the 1990 Biennal of Venice or the Pop Art exhibition at the Royal Academy in London in 1991-92 that went on to Museum Ludwig in Cologne and the Reina Sofia in Madrid. In selecting projects, Lewes sought to represent the opinion of every expert scholar or curator who has presented an overview of Fluxus. No expert was used more than once. Some experts appear once as individuals and again in a group effort. For example, Jon Hendricks appears once as the curator and editor of the Gilbert and Lila Silverman Fluxus Collection and its publications. He appears again in a team as co-curator of the Fluxus exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. Every artist listed or presented at least once in any of these exhibitions, catalogues or books was noted. Lewes prepared the chart in this manner: Running vertically down the left side of the chart, the names of all artists appearing in any of the selected presentations are listed in alphabetical order. Across the top of the chart, twenty-one exhibitions and projects from Maciunas's first lists in 1964 through the FluxAttitudes show at the New Museum in New York in 1992 are presented in chronological order. (Some of these projects were seen more than once, for example, the Fluxshoe in England, which was presented at many venues, or FluxAttitudes, which was presented first at HallWalls in Buffalo.) Under each presentation project, a mark was made beside the name of every artist included. The chart thus offers an overview of all the inclusions and entries in a series of 21 major projects, representing evolving and differing views of Fluxus over a 30-year period from 1962 to 1992. The completed chart offers a broad consensus of opinion by 30 experts who have given lengthy consideration to Fluxus. These include scholars, critics, curators, gallerists, art dealers, Fluxus artists and non-Fluxus artists interested in Fluxus. Altogether, some 351 artists were presented in 21 different projects representing a wide variety of venues, presentations and publications during the 30 years in which Fluxus has existed. The chart appears in: Friedman, Ken with James Lewes. 1992. Fluxus: Global Community, Human Dimensions. (in) Fluxus: A Conceptual Country, Estera Milman, guest editor. [Visible Language, vol. 26, nos. 1/2.] Providence: Rhode Island School of Design, pp. 154-179. [Special issue devoted to Fluxus, also exhibition catalogue] It's probably time to update the exercise. I don't think there can be an official Fluxometer, but it is interesting to see the different shapes and views established by different criteria and sorting mechanisms. It gives a general view of Fluxus and it certainly shows how people see Fluxus. Best regards, Ken Friedman
