FLUXLIST: Welcome Mihai!/Soyez le Bienvenue!

2006-07-27 Thread David-Baptiste Chirot


Dear Mihai:
   Hello and welcome to you! Thank you for contacting 
and  i am very happy for you you met Alison Knowles and Alan.  I have never 
met either--I did meet Dick Higgins in 1997 and spoke a bt with him and 
heard two talks he gave.  The other Fluxus person I have met is Nam June 
Paik--i audited a class he taught at MIT in the late 1970's.  Alison 
Knowles' published notebooks are a great inspiration to me.

  Do you also make fluxus works, art works of your own?
   enchante de faire votre connaisance!
 un fort embrace fluxien!

Dear all,

I'm glad to have had a first contact a real one with Alison Knowles and his 
imponderable objects.


I would like to exchane informations and news about the actual fluxus 
manifestations.


I think the fluxus will never diminue or disapear. It's a decalque of life.

Thanks to accept me among you.

Alan Bowman , a young sustainer and in love with this marvelous etat 
d'esprit, put me in contact with the Fluxuslist members. I've paid him a 
visit In Venice at the foundation.


Mihai Spacovschi

FLUXLIST: Happy Birthday Gaston Bachelard and Emma Goldmann!!!

Happy Niorthday today to Gaston Bachelard  Emma Goldmann!!!

Then, in an immesne synthesis we should dream at the same time of a 
winged house that whines at the slightest breeze and refines the energies of 
the wind.  Millers, who are wind thieves, make good flour from storms.


--Bachelard The Poetics of Space

Someone has said that it requires less mental effort to condemn than 
to think.  The widespread mental indolence so prevalent in society proves 
this to be only too true.  Rather than to go to the bottom of any given 
idea, to examine into its origin and meaning, most people will either 
condemn it altogether, or rely on some superficial or prejudicial definition 
of non-essentials.

RE: FLUXLIST: Fluxus: Dead or Alive

Is Fluxus dead or alive?

In a nutshell, it seems to me that Fluxus is dead if it is defined as a
movement in art and culture associated with the group of artists who came
together in the early 1960s with George Maciunas at its centre. However, if
Fluxus is defined as an approach to art and culture centred around the idea
of Intermedia, then it remains very much alive. I am strongly inclined
towards the latter view.

This of course is a question which may never be finally settled, especially
given the tautological nature of the Fluxus is dead argument... I.E. If
Fluxus is defined as a movement that existed between 1962 and 1978 or
between any other relatively static dates than the definition itself
precludes the possibility that Fluxus is still alive.

The group known as Secret Fluxus that was active on this list a while back
epitomized this dialogue since they were alive and active Fluxus artists 
who

seemed to believe that their performances were re-enactments rather the
new performances of Fluxus events.

Dear Alan:

Many many thanks--i would love to be be in contact/hear from both 
alsion knowles and emmet williams, what they are working with now--and be 
able to ask about/thank them for/ exchange ideas with their works past and 
present--I esp like the huge book of AK's notebooks--a friend showed me 
these couple years ago and they have always stayed with me as exemplary 
wroks--and emmett willimas--i was just going through this morning the 
section called Language Happenings that he edited in the great anthology 
called OPEN POETRY (Ed by Ronald Groos  GeorgeQuasha, with Williams, John 
Robert Colombo  Walter Lowenfels;  Ny:  Simon  Schuster, 1973)--(has 
several concrete poems by EW and computer poem by AK)--

  Thanks so much!--may we have a great conversaion!

let's try again

alison phoned me the other evening, she's here in venice and asked me to 
perform with here on june 12th - i'm not sure where.  anyway, she's looking 
for others to help, so if you're in venice...


i knew she was coming and that i was supposed to be helping with her show, 
but more than that - it's all a little vague.  more details will follow i'm 
sure.


anyway, the point of my original post was this:
i'm going to be working with alison over the next few weeks, and emmett 
williams arrives on sunday too.
perhaps we could us this opportunity to ask them a few questions, it's not 
often we get access to fluxfolks.

perhaps i could even get them to write to the list..

i don't know, just an idea.  the last time i spoke to alison she was a bit 
miffed about the fact that everyone wants to know about fluxus and not her 
current work.  it may be a good chance to find out what they are up to 
nowadays too?


i wonder if eric andersen is coming - i'm sure he'll want to say hello to 
fluxlist too.


any ideas?

 If so, 'oh'

 now let's see if this gets through.

 I even had a word with 'DAD' and he said
  No, young fellow-me-lad, we have had no bounces from the ol'

...my German name 'Heinrich' was translated into 'Henri'
just after my arrival in Paris. I had to resign myself to it and,
finally, name myself thus in this country,
for the word 'Heinrich' did not appeal to the French ear and
the French make everything in the world nice and easy for themselves.
They were also incapable of pronouncing the name 'Henri Heine'  correctly,
and for most people my name is Mr. Enri Enn;
many abbreviate this to an 'Enrienne,' and some called me Mr. Un rien.

Well--i guess that means they believe in SOMEthing! (i.e nothing--)

During spring training, a rookie baseball player was being interviewed by 
the Milwaukee paper---and asked if he had any pet superstitions--as baseball 
players are notorious for having many--

He replied--I don't believe in that stuff.  It's bad luck.

Now--that's a form of nihilism, don't you think!

FLUXLIST: The Cretan Paradox

2006-05-04 Thread David-Baptiste Chirot

In the ancient world, Cretans were legendary  famous liars.

In the modern world:

A writer decided to write a book about modern day Crete.  He decided 
the best way to do this would be to go there and talk to as many Cretans as 
he could to better lean all about them, starting with the first one he met.
Getting off the boat, he was met by a porter offering to carry his 
bags.  Ah! My first Cretan! thought the the writer--now I can begin with my 
book.
 He told the Cretan about his project and how he intended to speak with 
as many Cretans as possible beginning with him, the porter.
  That's wonderful!  said the Cretan.  And I am very glad you are 
talking with me first, because I must warn you--all Cretans are liars.
   Later, the writer began to reflect on what the man had told him.  If 
he were telling the truth--and all Cretans were liars--and he was a 
Cretan--therefore he must be lying.  But if he was lying that they were all 
liars, they must all be ones who told the truth.  But then--if they told the 
truth--meaning he did--then--then they would all be liars and---


The writer could see that this was going to be a difficult book to 
write . . .

That's really something!



Russell's Paradox



Russell's paradox represents either of two interrelated logical 
antinomies.

The most commonly discussed form is a contradiction arising in the logic of
sets or classes. Some classes (or sets) seem to be members of themselves,
while some do not. The class of all classes is itself a class, and so it
seems to be in itself. The null or empty class, however, must not be a
member of itself. However, suppose that we can form a class of all classes
(or sets) that, like the null class, are not included in themselves. The
paradox arises from asking the question of whether this class is in itself.
It is if and only if it is not. The other form is a contradiction involving
properties. Some properties seem to apply to themselves, while others do
not. The property of being a property is itself a property, while the
propery of being a cat is not itself a cat. Consider the property that
something has just in case it is a property (like that of being a cat) that
does not apply to itself. Does this property apply to itself? Once again,
from either assumption, the opposite follows. The paradox was named after
Bertrand Russell, who discovered it in 1901.

 Just as I was about to reply to this disucussion, a letter arrived 
from my mother with the following, appropriate to the matter at ahnd:


My favorite idea for sorting out my apt. has always been to put a 
dumpster under the back + throw out  EVERY THING IN IT.  Have it carried 
away and then a ballon with basket  holds fast by the deck railing and I 
step into it and float away Sophey (her cat).


   I work with mainly materilas all sizes found on the street and until 
almost five years ago had boo, record, object, foto etc collections going 
back from more or less a liftime.  Then for various reasons in the last 
years have lost just abt everything I had a few thimes--each time I moved 
and began agin for a few years or less--the same thing--lose evrything, 
start again.  When I moved this winter, I was in the hopstial and the friend 
who moved me left behind all my accumulated materilas and most of my work of 
the last two years.  As an essay of mine has it Necessity is the 
Motherfucker of Invention--and am working away, finding as always plenty to 
work with directly intthe streets, making rubBEings and paintings using clay 
impressions and collages etc.


The ways in which I have lost things but on the other hand has taught me to 
continually keep finding things with which to work.  The essay is about a 
situation in which I was in where after all this time of working in and with 
the streets and street found materials I was confined ninety days--so had to 
learn to find materials in a rather barren environment.  (It is also a lot 
about Mail Art, originally was in Japanese journal KAIRAN, now at my 
blogspot  davidbaptistechirot  blogspot.com alongg with a great deal of 
rubBeings, some paintings fotos and other writing--; also do a google 
search--) This was great for training the eye and hand and imagination to 
find things in what at first might appear a desert--and then carry that 
training back out into the outside world.  One of the things that one misses 
about having as it were the archives of one's life is that in a sense one's 
material history is done away with.  All that is there is really just onself 
at this moment--and whatver small bit of work one has in hand.  The rest is 
inside oneself--no doubt to come out in some form--I think back to huge 
record, book , object etc collections have had over the years--and all I can 
say is glad I had so much pleasure from them while had them.  I have no 
value judgement whatsoever on which is better--to have more or to have 
less--all I can say is I have been very fortunate in that I have been able 
to learn from circumstance that one continues to work no matter what.  I 
think if working is what you do, whether there is clutter or emptiness, you 
will work--now, how is that for profundity!!

David,



The fluxlist blog shows that you are already a member. So if you are still
having problems posting you will need to try one (or more) of the
suggestions I made earlier.



This may apply to a few other list members who ARE showing up on the blog 
as

being members of the blog but without Blogger profiles too.



* Expostofacto

* Davidbchirot

* Nicklnips

* Susea

* Jumbrella

* klefstada22

* walterfluxus

* teresabowman

* bibianapadillamalto



If your user name is listed above AND YOU ARE ABLE TO POST, then you may
ignore the following instructions.







--

If you have replied to the invitation but don't have a user name and
password on Blogger you might need to:







1)   Have a 2nd e-mail account ready to go (if you don't have one
already you can sign up for one at Hotmail.com, Yahoo.com or Google)



2)   Go to Blogger.com and open a new Blogger account using the 2nd
e-mail account as your e-mail address



3)   Test your Blogger account by logging in to Blogger.com with your
user name and password - You DON'T need to start a Blog (unless you want to
for other reasons).



4)   Send me an e-mail either through the list or off-list with your 
2nd

e-mail account and I will send out another invitation using that address.



5)   Once you have confirmed that the Fluxlist blog is showing up in
your list of Blogs you can change the e-mail address in your profile back 
to

your old or preferred address.







or



If you have replied to the invitation and you already have a user name and
password on Blogger, but it won't link the Fluxlist blog to your existing
Blog(s) (this happened to me) you need to:







1)   Have a 2nd e-mail account ready to go (if you don't have one already
you can sign up for one at Hotmail.com)



2)   Go to Blogger.com and open your existing Blogger account



3)   Change your e-mail address in your Blogger profile to the 2nd
e-mail account address.



4)   Test your Blogger account by logging in to Blogger.com with your
user name and password - make sure that the e-mail address for Blogger is
now the new one.



5)   Send me an e-mail either through the list or off-list with your

Dear Reed--
a nice accompaniement may be accomplished by placing bits of one's lunch on 
the edge of the knife when pressed down--so that when let go--they go arcing 
through the air, giving visual impressions of the sonic vibrations of the 
knife's music--
ah!! the waltzing forms of potato salad!  the graceful turns of egg 
salad--or the sweet arcings of the tuna!
(the forms and splatter patternings these create at the end of thier flights 
might be considered as new events in themselves--)

FLUXLIST: Baudhuin Simon

2006-03-15 Thread David-Baptiste Chirot
This just arrived from the Belgian Mail Artist Guido Vermeulen.  Many of you 
am sure have known of Baudhuin and his wonderful and inventive work--PIG 
DADA--





Dear Friends,

On March 9 Baudhuin Simon, the Belgian mail artist who introduced me to the
mail art network in 1993, committed suicide. The news reached me Saturday.
I composed a message on what happened and posted it on a few Yahoo mail
art groups.
I would like to share this with all of you:

To all mail artists

On the suicidal death of Baudhuin Simon:
Yes, the news is true. It reached me by a message from his former girl
friend on Saturday while I was hosting the arrival of a poet in my flat
(Virginia Cubillan, someone I met thru Mark Sonnenfeld, she lives in the
USA but is from Venezuela)

The contrast between the excitement of meeting someone new thru' the
network and the sad announcement of the suicide of Baudhuin (who introduced
me to mail art in 1993) was enormous.
I took Virginia to see a Puccini opera on Saturday (Le Villi)
That opera is on the ghosts of dead people!!!
Sunday we traveled to Ostend to attend a concert with the music of Preisner
(who wrote the splendid scores for all of Kieslowski's movies)
The concert started with a selection of parts of his requiem for a dead
friend.
It almost felt that PIG DADA was present during the whole weekend.

I could tell you lots of things on the circumstances of his act but I
refrain myself and prefer to be quiet. It's his choice and the end of his
traveling, in this world anyway. The least I can do is respect this.

Be well and remember him for what he meant in mail art ...


Guido Vermeulen

thanks for the poem Eric! quite a different view of m. follain! i really
enjoyed this! nothing like some truly elegant scatology!--
i have been reading the novels of hardy finally after decades of feeling i
ought--a m,ention of them esp of jude the obscure by Petra set me to going
to the book seller and finding as i thought i wd paperbacks of them there
for fifty cents--i read jude the obscure, one of the saddest boosk i have
ever read and now am on to returen of the native--has been stormy weather
and my legs have been much imporved i think due to a medication given last
week--a powerful seizure medicartion that opeartes direclty on the nervous
syetm helps with the nerve pain in my right thigh for most of the day so
have been taking longer and longer walks along the bluffs over looking the
lake--i have read more in the last ten days thanin a long time--i mean in
novels--i read the herni bosco FARM IN PROVENCE--bachelard writes of and
quotes so much bosco--and i recalled hearing lot abt him the year we lived
in arles 1967-8--they were making a tv film of his L'ANE CULOTTE--the book
is truly magical and i wd highly recommend it, theonly one of his
tranlsated
into english, Petra sent it to me--one would think that bosco and bachelard
mutaually created each other so well do their works dovetail with each
other!--one is the perfect writer/reader for the other!--i am so glad you
liked the bachelard eric and i wil have to check aout paramenides for
david's saying he also understood poetry--bachelard had a deep
understanding
made stronger by his having to overcome a lifetime of his scientific
training, i think this gave him an even stronger energy to release into his
dreaming--his book on poetics of reverie is also astonsihing and i want to
read his others on the vari9us elements--air, water, earth, fire--he had a
beaitful bearded face with deep twinkling illuminated star like eyes--i
also
read one of thwe two remaining simen0on psychological novels i had picked
up
as i like those so much and a kobo abe, THE ARK SAKURA--and now on to
hardy--and yesterday reading the english poet jh prynne at the university
library as Petra likes him so much--i had read some of him years ago and he
is the most original, different, modern english poet i know of and had
liked
him without pretending to really understand him, he is rather
difficult--not
so much formally but will take me abit to truly get the hang of some of his
thought--he also writes of economics--at times--a week ago saturday i went
to see/hear the birtish poet tom raworth perform with the local very good
musican steve nelson-raaney--it was pretty good on the whole for such an
event--they had worked together in the past so it went pretty smoothly--i
am
not always keen on such things, but when wellenuigh done it is interesting
as was this--and the walls werte lined with collages by raworth that were
of
interest--he is a pretty good poet, one of the few english moderns to have
acceptance with a lot of the americans--

ETHER~~

Advance praise for _Ether: The Nothing That Connects Everything_:

³Marvelously written, witty and inspiring.  A significant and needed
contribution to our understanding of the nebulous intersection of
technology, subjectivity, spirituality, avant-garde art, and premodern
cosmologies²
--Erik Davis, author of Techgnosis

³A Sheer delight.  It brings together literature, philosophy, history of
science, occult studies, music, audio art, film, American studies and
poststructuralism with frightening fluidity and sure-footedness.  I can
think of a number of projects that attempt this far-reaching
transdisciplinarity, but none that does it quite this well.²

   --John Corbett, School of the Art Institute of Chicago

³Milutis is a skilled ringmaster of difficult ideas that might otherwise
bite.²

   --Gregory Whitehead, radio artist
www.joemilutis.com

Every culture has its own word for this nothing. Synonymous with the idea 
of

absolute space and time, the ether is an ancient concept that has
continually determined our definition of environment, our relations to each
other, and our ideas about technology. It has also instigated our desire to
know something irrepressibly beyond all that. In Ether, the histories of 
mysticism and the unseen merge with discussions

of the technology and science of electromagnetism. Joe Milutis explores how
the ideas of Anton Mesmer and Isaac Newton have manifested themselves as 
the

inspiration for occult theories and artistic practices from Edgar Allan
Poe¹s works to today. In doing so, he demonstrates that fading in and out 
of
scientific favor has not prevented the ether, a uniquely immaterial 
concept,
from being a powerful force for material progress. Milutis deftly weaves 
the origins of electrical science with alchemical
lore, nineteenth-century industrialism with yogic science, and network 
space

with dreams of the absolute. Linking the ether to phenomena such as radio
noise, space travel, avant-garde film, and the rise of the Internet, he
lends it an almost physical presence and currency. From Federico Fellini to
Gilles Deleuze, Japanese anime to Italian Futurism, Jean Cocteau to NASA,
Shirley Temple to Wilhelm Reich, Ether traverses geographical boundaries,
spiritual planes, and the divide between popular and high culture. 
Navigating more than three hundred years of the ether¹s cultural and

artistic history, Milutis reveals its continuous reinvention and tangible
impact without ever losing sight of its ephemeral, elusive nature. The true
meaning of ether, Milutis suggests, may be that it can never be fully
grasped.

RE: FLUXLIST: How to make a perfect Malevich painting using only basic HTML code

2006-01-18 Thread David-Baptiste Chirot

it is so odd--it looks too CLEAN  to be mallevich
mallevich's work always has a certain roughness and rawness to it that this 
for sure does not
but then most things i have seen made with computers alll have a very clean 
air to them
in his wiritings malevich has an essay on the intuition outstripping the 
speed of any machine

and this makes mething of his wirting that
that the intuitive wil have that rawness to it while the machine is 
streamlined

thanks for sending thuogh it was really interesting to look at

FLUXLIST: FW: Woodland Pattern's 25th Anniversary Workshops 11/19 with Lisa Jarnot and Martha Bergland

2005-11-15 Thread David-Baptiste Chirot





Woodland Pattern's 25th Anniversary Workshops

Saturday, November 19th

Basic Elements with Lisa Jarnot
10am-12pm
$25/20 members

This seminar will focus on the basic building blocks
of the poem, beginning with vowels, consonants, and
syllable clusters, and evolving toward an evaluation
of the larger metrical structures inherent in
poetry—phrases, lines, and stanzas. Working from Louis
Zukofsky's idea that poetry can be evaluated within
the range of lower level speech, upper level music,
we'll explore ways to locate the musicality of
different kinds of poetry and we'll ask what makes a
poem tick. During the workshop we'll read poems that
adhere to metrical forms and we'll also look at Open
Verse poems. In addition we'll write some poems of
our own.

Lisa Jarnot is the author of three full-length
collections of poetry including Black Dog Songs (Flood
Editions, Chicago). She is currently completing a
biography of the San Francisco poet Robert Duncan
which will be published by University of California
Press in 2006. She lives in New York City and teaches
in the Creative Writing Program at Brooklyn College.

To register call (414) 263-5001.

Understanding  Revealing
Characters in Fiction
with Martha Bergland
2pm-5pm
$25/20 members

Compelling fiction contains characters that draw
empathy from the reader. In this workshop we will
study and learn different techniques that help us know
the characters in our fiction, (and therefore their
conflicts). Through this deeper level of understanding
we can build characters that intrigue and captivate
our readers.

Martha Bergland's first novel, A Farm Under A Lake,
was published 1989 by Graywolf Press, and by Vintage
Books, Bloomsbury in England, Bonniers in Sweden, and
Krueger in Germany. Graywolf published her novel Idle
Curiosity in 1997. Bergland's essays, poems, and short
stories are widely published in literary journals. Her
short story, An Embarrassment of Ordinary Riches,
was awarded a Pushcart Prize and was included in
Pushcart's anthology, Love Stories for the Rest of Us.
Bergland taught English for many years at Milwaukee
Area Technical College.

To register call (414) 263-5001.

From Clemente Padin--



THE DEATH OF AN IDOL...!

The Clemente Padín Fans Club  has the pleasure and the pain of announcing 
that its hero has been rewarded, for the Ministry of Education and Culture 
of his country, Uruguay, with the Prize Pedro Figari 2005 by his artistic 
trajectory. The famous alternative and underground artist rewarded by the 
system...! Years and years of fight against the transnationals and the 
official culture in order to be recompensed for his own enemies...! What 
deception...! It has sufficed that Padín refused the Prize but he voted for 
the new government and he wants to support its politic because it is the 
first time that Uruguay has a  government from left. Clemente, one could 
not be underground and overground to the same time!

hi sol,
good point!
anything that would be ultimately 'printable' is fine.  i'd like to think 
this project as an extension of the original fluxlistmaps, with room to 
extend them in any way one sees fit.
personally what i'm interested in is amassing the varying interpretations 
of fluxlisters by fluxlisters.
the most obvious way of producing a biog is to write, that's what i'll 
probably do.  but that doesn't say that it's the best in every case.  could 
be interesting.


cin cin!

alan
My only suggestion is that you allow for the inclusion of visual
pieces..there are the old maps and other illustrations that would be 
of

use/interest.


cheers,

Sol.

FLUXLIST: FW: Films of the Situationist International starts Monday/Stalin

2005-10-18 Thread David-Baptiste Chirot


Hello Al

meant to post this yesterday--
never thought i would  have a chance  to see them--
as if anyone has, i wd like to correspond regarding them--
the films last night were shown with a question/comment period between 
them--so that debord canhave the final word as Keith Sanborn (see blow) 
said--
as the second film is a rebuttal of critics of the first --SOCIETY OF 
THE SPECTACLE
 it is very interseting to see the films as in a sense the spectacle 
of guy debord--
 he has an immense fascination with stalin which is interesting as 
the films become in a way the intellectual autobiography of the development 
of a cult of personality-- i.e. m. debord's
   i am looking fwd to the others in relation with visual 
poetry--
  i lived in france 1967-8, 69, 70  wondered if any of you 
did also?


  Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands 
and at whom it is aimed.
   Josef STALIN  quote found in Hallmarks' Great Quotes 
of the 20th Century 2

Subject: Films of the Situationist International starts Monday


The UWM Union Theatre presents a unique retrospective of the rebellious 
and

highly influential filmmaking of the Situationist International! The event
begins Monday, October 17th and runs until Thursday, October 20th. Here is
the complete list of programming with descriptions for your consideration.
ALL SCREENINGS ARE FREE TO ALL!

Writer, filmmaker, translator and SI archeologist Keith Sanborn will be in
attendance on Monday, October 17 to introduce the evening and provide a
talk-back session after the film.


Monday, October 17 - 7pm
The Society of the Spectacle (La société du spectacle)
Situationist founder Guy Debord's own 1973 adaptation of his 1967 book by
the same name. Enormously influential in France, the film is an
astonishingly sophisticated and coherent response to the experience of May
1968. A filmic essay, based primarily on detourned, that is pre-existing
and recontextualized, images, including: sequences from Hollywood features,
East Block features, news footage, documentary footage, tv commercials,
pornography, and a vast number of stills, some of which seem to have been
shot explicitly for this film. The film also makes use of intertitles which
include both acknowledged and unacknowledged detourned quotations from
Dante, Hegel, Marx, Meister Eckhart, Shakespeare, Cieszkowski, von
Clausewitz, Pouget and others. While this film is a considerable 
achievement
in the domain of cinema, it is not just a film; it is a conscious attempt 
to

change the world. English subtitles by Keith Sanborn.
(Guy Debord, France, 90 min., French w/ Eng. St., Film on Video, 1973)

preceded by:
Refutation Of All Judgments Which Have Up To Now Been Brought Whether In
Praise Or Hostile To The Film Called Society Of The Spectacle
Debord's response in film to the written critiques which greeted his film
The Society of the Spectacle. (Guy Debord, France, 20 min., French w/ Eng.
St., Film on Video, 1975)

Tuesday, October 18 - 7pm
Venom  Eternity (Traité de bauve et d'éternité)
Poet and founder of the Lettrist Movement, Jean Isidore Isou wrote, scored,
photographed, directed and starred in Venom  Eternity - a self-described
revolt against cinema. In the film Isou attempts to discuss what was 
wrong

with the cinema and goes on to show examples of what he thinks it should
consist of. Featuring an appearance by Jean Cocteau, who, musing as to the
film's future, would ask: Is VENOM a springboard or is it a void? In fifty
years we'll know the answer...The day will come, perhaps, when Isou's style
will be in fashion. Causing riots and stomp-outs during its initial
screenings in France and the US, the film went on to influence a generation
of avant-garde filmmakers including, most profoundly, a young Stan Brakhage
- declaring Venom  Eternity as a portal though which every film artist is
going to have to pass. (Jean Isidore Isou, France, 90 min., French w/ Eng.
St., 16mm BW, 1951)

Can Dialectics Break Bricks? (La Dialectique peut-elle casser des briques?)
Annouced as the first entirely détourned film in the history of cinema,
Viénet and Cohen transformed a typical kung-fu film into an examination of
class and intellectual sectarianism. According to Viénet: The cinema, 
which

is the newest and most serviceable means of expression of our era has been
marking time for 3/4 of a century. By way of review, let us say that it has
in fact become the '7th art' dear to cinephiles, ciné-clubs, PTA's. Let us
state that for our purposes the cycle has come to an end Let us
appropriate the stammerings of this new writing; let us appropriate above
all its most achieved examples, the most modern ones, those which have
escaped artistic ideology even

The purpose of this newsletter is to share events, readings, interviews, books of interests, theatre productions, and whatever else is going on of interest. It is completely open for anyone to submit to.Postcard Series: One updateDue to the high cost of printing, the price of the postcards has changed, please check the 
website. The postcards will be available in mid-August.RANTS AND RAVESRaves for Nave Gallery in Somerville, MA. Their Sound Vision/ Vision Sound 111 International Exhibition and Festival of Verbo -Visual Artwork and Performances were wonderful. I attended the performance on July 15th and was struck by the artwork, the intimate space, and the cozy atmosphere of the gallery. I went to see John M. Bennett and Be Blank Consort perform. I also wanted to meet John because for years I've been reading his work which I love. Be Blank Consort performed many pieces which took on language in a new way. Many of the poems were spoken simultaneously with performers speaking different text. It gave a chorus effect. I found myself listening to some text but then my attention would go to another 
person and what they were saying. The rhythm and structure of the text allowed the listener to make their own meaning at times. The pieces that really stood out for me were Lungs, P piece, and a brilliant performance and delivery of The Peel Peeled. This last piece was !performed in three different languages at the same time. The timing and delivery of all the work was well crafted. Be Blank Consort knew exactly what they were doing. Other members of the group that performed were K.S.Ernst, Scott Helmes and Michael Basinski. All of the performers were wonderful. I just loved it! I wondered if they put any of their pieces together like John Cage used to do. That is throwing up notes in the air and putting them together in random order. Years ago, I saw a special on PBS on John 
Cage. Richard Kostelanetz, a language poet, spoke about him on this special. I considered everyone that night performing to be language poets. The text was not only important on the delivery but also how it looked on the page. I cannot rave enough about this group.BuffFluxus was the next to perform, the performance group was established in 1956 when they first performed on the Ed Sullivan show. They were great. They also experimented with language, text, and delivery. They consisted of members Michael Basinski, Doug Manson, Matt Chambers and Karen Yocobucci. They did a Poem Improvise, in which a box of pants/shorts were emptied out onto the floor. They called them John M. Bennett's pants. They put them on and audience members could do the same if they wanted to. Another 
piece they did I'll call Oh Shit. In this, they said the phrase in as many different ways that one possibly could. It was hysterical. I laughed quite a bit over this one. I am not sure if that was the actual name so forgive if it's wrong. Also the audience took part in the beginning of one piece where they were asked questions. These performers were just wonderful. Their delivery and pieces performed added another layer of text performance art into the night.The last group consisted of three performers, Chris Fritton, William R. Howe and Lisa Phillips. It started with a huge blank piece of white paper on the floor. On the sides of the paper were ink pads. The performers stepped on them and walked on the paper. Different letters came out onto the paper. While doing this they made 
sounds. The whole experience was fascinating to watch. Visually watching printing and listening to sounds were again showing the audience members the different way text and printing can affect us. It was like watching an installation piece coming to life. Also the ink on paper came off their shoes with different texture which added depth to the piece. All this layering by all performers gives us a new insight to how important language and text is. Why not take it to new levels? Everyone here definitely did that.William R. Howe who is Curator of the gallery put together a wonderful and I do mean a wonderful exhibition and performances. It took such work on his part. What a show to put together. His Assistant Curators, Chris Fritton and Lisa Phillips are to be commended for their huge 
part also. It was a great night of visual, sound, text/language and performance art put together.Raves to Nico Vassilakis and the screening of his shorts. Visually beautiful to watch. He is a brilliant writer so this was really neat for me to see.The exhibition at the Nave Gallery is 

FLUXLIST: FW: Milwaukee Art Museum: The New York Times Review of the Arts and Crafts Movement

2005-08-02 Thread David-Baptiste Chirot

  The New York Times  July 26, 2005  http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/26/arts/design/26smit.html  How Decorative Arts Evolved and Became a Social Movement  By ROBERTA SMITH  MILWAUKEE - The Arts and Crafts movement, which began boiling up in the  indefatigable William Morris in England in the 1860's, was one of those  great switching stations of thought built during the Victorian Era and  commensurate in its way with Darwinism, Marxism and photography.  As suggested by "The Arts and Crafts Movement in Europe and America," an  epic exhibition at the Milwaukee Art Museum, the switching station's  inbound tracks included medieval art and the English Gothic Revival,  country furniture, Sir Walter Scott's romances and the writings 
of  Carlyle, plus Ruskin and Emerson and Morris's fury at the Industrial  Revolution's harmful effects on design, craftsmanship, the environment and  working conditions. "Shoddy is king," Morris famously said. The feeling  ignited his do-it-yourself instincts as a designer, craftsman, social  reformer and businessman, amply supported by, in all senses, the  confidence and cash flow of a well-educated Englishman of means.  The outbound tracks lead to, or pass close by, most of modern design as we  know it, in terms of movements, principles, dissenting geniuses and home  furnishing stores. In other words: Art Nouveau, Wiener Werkstätte, Art  Deco, de Stijl and Bauhaus; as well as "truth to materials," "unity in  design," design as social reform and the private 
(read middle-class)  house. Also Frank Lloyd Wright, Ray and Charles Eames, George Nelson,  Donald Judd and the anticapitalist, back-to-nature ethos of the  counterculture, as well as Design Research, the Door Store, Ikea, Pottery  Barn, West Elm and Design Within Reach.  Arguing for handcraft, social responsibility and the equality between the  fine and applied arts, Morris's back-to-the-workshop movement changed the  way design was seen in the West while reflecting larger changes like the  rise of the middle class, nationalism, industrialization and individual  rights. It proposed a holistic, in many ways utopian vision; it declared  the ultimate obligation of design to be quality of life, and that worker  and consumer alike were entitled to its 
benefits.  Much of the movement's scope, vitality and its crusading, often pious  optimism is evident in the Milwaukee show, which originated in December at  the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it was organized by Wendy  Kaplan, curator of the decorative arts department. Concentrating on the  heyday of the Arts and Crafts from 1890 to 1910, it is the first major  show to parse the movement's impact on an international scale. At  Milwaukee, it flows through 14 galleries whose relatively low ceilings  create a fittingly domestic atmosphere. It encompasses more than 300  objects by scores of designers, craftsmen and architects whose names are  variously famous, unknown and unexpected.  Furniture dominates; veritable mini-exhibitions mull over chairness 
and  buffetness or present self-contained worlds like the entire dining room,  from carpet to stemware, designed by Peter Behrens, the movement's German  exemplar. A bulky humbleness prevails, along with glowing wood tones,  restrained techniques and understated touches of exotic materials like  mother-of-pearl or inlaid silver. Josef Hoffmann's tea service in hammered  silver is softly luminous, not shiny. One of the show's loudest moments is  George Washington Maher's glass mosaic fire surround in hot pink and  turquoise; one of its least familiar is Gustav Serrurier-Bovy's almost  spectral grandfather clock, which pushes Arts and Crafts toward Art  Nouveau.  When natural materials aren't in the foreground, plant and flower forms  are, in 
jewelry, ceramics, textiles, stained glass and graphic design, on  bookbindings. The movement's best-known motifs are the widely imitated  plant patterns derived from Gothic and Persian precedents to be found in  Morris  Co. tapestries (for which Morris resurrected the vegetable dye  process) and wall paper (printed by hand).  The show devotes generous space to the movement's English origins and its  enthusiastic reception in America, where Wright (its first proselytizer),  Gustav Stickley and the brothers Henry Mather Greene and Charles Sumner  Greene devised some of its most complete and exalted expressions. Special  attention is paid the work of the lavishly initialed second English  generation - C. R. Ashbee, C. F. A. Voysey and M. H. Baillie Scott - 
who  all helped to spread the Arts and Crafts gospel, often by designing houses  that were then furnished by Morris  Co.  But the exhibition is most exciting when covering the diverse efforts of  true believers, momentary acolytes and fellow travelers from Scotland,  Austria, Germany, Belgium, Hungary, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark.  (The wide angle approach may signal a trend: a similar show,  "International Arts and Crafts," opened at

Hello Everyone--
Harry Burrus sent this to me thought to pass on to you--as recently xul solar mentioned on list 
and here great opportunity to find these closer to hand--
--think i'll go to see these in the old home of Duke Records (Bobby Blue Bland etc) and international artists label! (13th floor elevators, bubble puppy , red krayola even lightnin hopkins)Many thanks, Harry!
david-bcI checked his work -- notice the exhibit is coming to Houston!First show for him is USA.The show in BA:The exhibition, entitled "Xul Solar: Visions and Revelations," opened here in June and will continue through Aug. 15. In September, it will travel to São Paulo and, early next year, to the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston for what will be Xul Solar's first individual show ever in the United States."When it comes to Latin American art of the 1920's and 1930's, people tend to think of the Mexican muralists and Frida Kahlo and stop there," said Mari Carmen Ramírez, the Houston museum's chief curator of Latin American art. Xul Solar, by contrast, "is not the kind of artist who is easily absorbed into the fine-arts milieu of any country," because he did not conform to a single medium or 
pattern of _expression_.Recognizing Xul Solar's growing stature, the Houston museum recently acquired three of his works. The most celebrated is "Jefa," a 1923 watercolor of a woman's head, adorned with cat's whiskers and surrounded by arcane symbols, that critics regard as the culmination of an especially fecund period of the artist's 50-year career.Xul Solar's art has usually been viewed as part of the Latin American avant-garde of the early 20th century. But the curator of the Malba show, Patricia Artundo, has chosen to give equal weight to the mystical aspects of his work: the first painting visitors see on entering the gallery is a painting Xul Solar did of his own horoscope in 1953."His was a spiritual search, but not in a straight line," Dr. Artundo said. "Occult sciences, the Kabbalah, astrology, the I Ching, the tarot, Aleister 
Crowley, they all flow together along with his vanguard tendencies and play a role in his desire to unify Latin America on a spiritual basis."Critics and art historians often compare Xul Solar to Paul Klee, whose work he saw and admired during the dozen years he spent in Europe before returning in 1924 to Argentina. Like Klee, Xul Solar often included letters, numbers and other symbols in his paintings. The color schemes the two artists adopted was often similar too, as was the underlying spirit of their work and their interest in primitive and archaic art."There is a lot of kinship in their formal visual language, their refusal to paint in a traditional way and in the almost childlike quality of Xul Solar's work, the way he uses schematic figures like the sun, the moon and snakes," Dr. Ramírez said. "He absorbed German Expressionism and Paul Klee as his 
starting point, though what he did with them later was very different."In addition to the paintings, the exhibition contains tarot cards painted by Xul Solar, a pair of masks and several objects he invented. These "heirlooms from another cosmos," as he once referred to them, include a harmonium with three rows of colored keys and a board game he called "pan-chess," with 13-by-13 squares (instead of 8-by-8).At a panel discussion here in early July, Jorge Schwartz, a critic and professor of Spanish-American literature at the University of São Paulo, talked of Xul Solar's "desire to make corrections," citing pan-chess and the artist's plan to modify soccer to use up to five balls simultaneously. But he also tried to improve his native tongue by inventing two new languages, Neo-Criollo and Pan-Lengua, that he incorporated into his work.One of 
his many notebooks, written in Neo-Criollo, is on display as part of the exhibition. Many of the paintings were also given titles in Neo-Criollo, or Neo-Creole, a mixture of Spanish and Portuguese with a smattering of English.The artist's playfulness with language extended even to the pseudonym he adopted while living in Europe, at the suggestion of an Argentine friend and fellow painter who thought his real name too ponderous for an artist. Though based on his birth name, Xul Solar can be interpreted to mean "solar light" or "light from the south."Many of the works in the exhibition are on loan from the Xul Solar Museum here, which opened in 1993, one floor below the apartment where the artist lived for most of his adult life. The museum contains the largest collection of his paintings, along with much of his correspondence and manuscripts."Xul 
used to say that he painted reality, the reality of his own visions," said Jorge Natalio Povarche, director of the Xul Solar Foundation, which runs the museum, and the artist's dealer during the later stages of his career. "Other painters were easier to read, and that is why so much of his work ended up here. There was no market for him because they didn't understand him."Borges,

the dark side of country music is the most terrifying music there is--rock and roll darkness pales in comparison--

Cecil
i don't pretend to know more than a little of Fluxus in the plastic arts--but the pieces i know ofmany struck me as being ephemeral--that is, they are in keeping with this:
"the world as we see it is passing" (st paul)--
to me often the works were to be in tune with this, make the viewer aware of the ephemerality of things and seeing things in the passing of time--
i think this relates in many ways to the Eastern infuences in Fluxus--
the piece one is seeeing is making evident that this seeing is passing, is not fixed--and then piece itself is not fixed--
the first definition of "modernism" is from Baudelaire--he wrote that is the conjunction of the ephemeral and the eternal--the eternal with in the ephemeral--
to me the Fluxus pieces are examing this in a vareity of different ways--these are just some thoughts from the little i have seen and know of the Fluxus pieces in plastic arts--suggestions--to perhaps consider (?)--From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Reply-To: FLUXLIST@scribble.comTo: FLUXLIST@scribble.comSubject: Re: FLUXLIST: FLUXUS AND THE PLASTIC ARTSDate: Sat, 14 May 2005 14:23:35 EDTIn a message dated 5/12/05 7:54:11 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:  I would like to start a discussion on how to identify a visual art work  as a specificly fluxus art work o d9j0[9wquyr[0ohf3of3e98uf2hohe87f1329ghffbi;queuncp9fhfh-end of discussion-byMadawg Download your favorite songs at MSN Music - Over 1 million songs for just 99¢ each

Two days ago a first in literay hiitory--
 a bobble head doll of Jack Kerouac was honored by beingplaced in the Basebaseball Hall of Fame. The doll was created for Kerouac's hometown of Lowell, MA's minor leage team, the Spinners.
 The doll was handed out to 1, 00 fans last August, and demand was such that 500 more were created and sale of them raised $10, 000 for the Jack Kerouc Scholarships Program.
 Kerouac--the first literary figure to enter Hall of Fame-
 as many of you who have read his books know--Jack K creaed his own baseball game using playing cards--created complete teams in leagues and with statistics on each player--wrote accounts included in books such as DESOLATION ANGELS and others of the palyers and the games. The players described in detail, given viviid individuality and backgrounds on histories of the teams. Jack K had invented in childhood and played throughout his life--ture dedicatioon and devotion--and part of discipline and action in his writing--
 Hall of Fame spokesperson Jeff Idelson:
 "Having the Kerouac bobblehead in our collection is important, given he's an American icon who had a deep passion for the game, which he shared in his writiing".

From: "Clemente Padin" [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Friends,
 fortunately the things have not gone farther, in the one which concerns to the
exhibition " Axis of Evil: the secret history of sin" according to
an email of its curator, the artist Miguel Hernández de Luna, the exhibition "is no secret any more, as a headline had previously mentioned. No ones going to jail and none of the work has been confiscated.". The exhibition has the support of the authorities of the Columbia College and had received a massive diffusion in the mediums. In his words: "The show is doing what it is supposed to do: question our times."

However, we know that the first that the anti-democratic governments make is attack the liberty of _expression_ repressing the free course of the ideas in the mediums of communication and,
above all, in the art and the culture. For it, I think, we have to be attentive to
everything the one which occurs in this sense. Otherwise, we could lose our supreme law: liberty.

Fraternally,

Amigos,
al parecer las cosas no han pasado a mayores, en lo que concierne a la exhibición "El Eje del Mal:la Historia Confidencial del Pecado". De acuerdo a correo electrónico de su curador, el

artista Miguel Hernández de Luna, la muestra "ya ha dejado de confidencial como lo afirmara un titular de prensa previamente difundido. Ninguna persona fue encarcelado ni se ha confiscado ninguna obra". La muestra cuenta con el apoyo de las autoridades del Columbia College y ha

recibido una difusión masiva en los medios.En sus palabras: "La exposición está haciendo lo que se supuso que haría: cuestionar nuestro tiempo".

Sin embargo, todos sabemos que lo primero que hacen los gobiernos anti-democráticos es atacar la libertad de expresión reprimiendo el libre curso de las ideas en los medios de comunicación y,

sobre todo, en el arte y la cultura. Por ello, creo, tenemos que estar atentos a todo lo que ocurra en este sentido. De lo contrario, podríamos perder nuestro bien preciado: la libertad.

Stamp art show not so secret now - April 13, 2005

BY NATASHA KORECKI Federal Courts Reporter

News that the Secret Service visited a Columbia College art exhibit caused a spike in gallery visitors Tuesday, drawing about 150 curious art seekers to the South Loop gallery. Exhibit curator Michael Hernandez de Luna called the public response
overwhelming to "Axis of Evil, the Secret History of Sin," a collection of sharply political artwork on fake sheets of stamps.
Two Secret Service agents visited the gallery Thursday just before its public opening, responding to a citizen complaint about some of the pieces.
They followed with a phone call asking specifically about the artist who created "Patriot Act," a fake sheet of stamps picturing President Bush with a gun pointing at him.
'We ... respect artistic freedoms'
The artist, Al Brandtner, was not returning phone calls. On Tuesday, the Glass Curtain Gallery at 1104 S. Wabash bustled with viewers all day, compared with the two dozen or so people who visited Monday before news of the government visit broke.
U.S. Secret Service spokesman Jonathan Cherry said he doesn't know if the inquiry is complete but no artwork has been confiscated.
"We certainly respect artistic freedoms, but the Secret Service also has the responsibility to look into exhibits or statements when
necessary. In this instance we've done just that," Cherry said. "The Secret Service hasn't confiscated any artwork or questioned anyone against their wishes; we just need to ensure as best we can that this is nothing more than artwork with a political statement."
Hernandez said the incident has generated a good discussion on the artwork and the political statements of the show. The exhibit
features work from 47 artists who are not affiliated with Columbia.
Artists' reaction? 'They love it'
Hernandez said Columbia received some e-mails calling the exhibit unpatriotic or un-American. But most of the responses were positive, he said. Hernandez didn't expect Brandtner to make any public statements. He said a few artists shunned the media and government attention but nearly all the artists embraced it.
"They love it. They knew what they were getting into," Hernandez said.
A mother and son browsing the exhibit Tuesday had different perspectives. Lynne Sward, a Virginia artist, called the
exhibit "provocative, clever and humorous."
Her son, Scottt Sward -- a Chicago resident who collects stamps -- said some pieces "make my stomach upset." The stamp sheets mocking the pope, Catholicism and its issues with abuse by priests were over the top, he said. "I feel funny about it. I find some of it disturbing," he said. "I'm Catholic; you don't want to think about that all the time with our
religion."

Friends:
Again the threat of the censorship and the jail for the artists that they don't agree with the official culture and they have the courage of expressing it. According these informations would be been about to stating explicitly another abuse against the competitors to the one which the curators call, the "Axis of Evil", although in this case, they only denounce the sexual abuse of Fathers of the Catholic Roman Church to the children, the murderous politics of Bush in Iraq, including the tortures to political prisoners in Abu Ghraid and Guantánamo.

Until the moment there is not other news that had been advanced in the repression of the liberty of _expression_ but, like Michael Hernandez of Luna says, this could be the commencement of an increase in the subjection of the human laws with the military command of State´s terrorism.

Amigas/amigos:
Nuevamente la amenaza de la censura y la cárcel para los artistas que no están de acuerdo con la cultura oficial y tienen el valor de expresarlo. De acuerdo a estas informaciones se estaría a punto de concretar otro abuso contra los opositores a lo que los organizadores llaman, el "Eje del Mal", aunque en este caso, sólo denuncien el abuso sexual de los Padres de la Iglesia Católica Romana a los niños, la politica asesina de Bush en Irak, incluyendo las torturas a presos políticos en Abu Ghraid y Guantánamo.

Hasta el momento no hay otras noticias que se haya avanzado en la represión de la libertad de expresión pero, como bien dice Michael Hernandez de Luna, esto puede ser el comienzo de una escalada en el sometimiento de los derechos humanos bajo la égida del terrorismo de Estado.

Art exhibit featuring Bush stamp probed

By TARA BURGHART
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER


 An artwork containing mock 37-cent stamps showing President Bush with a revolver pointed at his head is part of an exhibit at Columbia College's Glass Curtain Gallery titled "Axis of Evil, the Secret History of Sin" Tuesday, April, 12, 2005 in Chicago. The exhibit captured the attention of the Secret Service who sent agents to inspect the works last week according to gallery officials. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green)

CHICAGO -- The Secret Service sent agents to investigate a college art gallery exhibit of mock postage stamps, one depicting President Bush with a gun pointed at his head.

The exhibit, called "Axis of Evil: The Secret History of Sin," opened last week at Columbia College in Chicago. It features stamps designed by 47 artists addressing issues such as the Roman Catholic sex abuse scandal, racism and the war in Iraq.

None of the artists is tied to the college.

Secret Service spokesman Tom Mazur would not say Tuesday whether the inquiry had been completed or whom the Secret Service had interviewed, but he said no artwork had been confiscated.

The investigation began after authorities received a call from a Chicago resident.

"We need to ensure, as best we can, that this is nothing more than artwork with a political statement," Mazur said.

Two federal agents arrived at the exhibit's opening night Thursday, took photos of some of the works and asked for the artists' contact information, said CarolAnn Brown, the gallery's director.

Brown said the agents were most interested in Chicago artist Al Brandtner's work titled "Patriot Act," which depicted a sheet of mock 37-cent red, white and blue stamps showing a revolver pointed at Bush's head.

Brandtner did not return a call to his design studio Tuesday.

The exhibit's curator, Michael Hernandez de Luna, said the inquiry "frightens" him.

"It starts questioning all rights, not only my rights or the artists' rights in this room, but questioning the rights of any artist who creates - any writer, any visual artist, any performance artist. It seems like we're being watched," he said.

Last spring, Secret Service agents in Washington state questioned a high school student about anti-war drawings he did for an art class, one of which depicted Bush's head on a stick.

Re: FLUXLIST: How To Wake Up

2005-03-28 Thread David-Baptiste Chirot

My favorite way sometimes to wake up
--not know where i am!
the day begins with great adventure--find out!
(this especially happens to me when i nod out over book on comfortable sofa at schwartz bookstore--wake up--where am i?--often i think i am in Berlin!, Germany--{NOT the one in New Hampshire--}---)
or--as the Red Queen says to Alice in ALCIE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS--"Why I have believed as many as five impossible things before breakfast"!--this to me is the epitome of waking up--

How to lunchmeat--and lunch meet--
( a meating meeting of the minds--)
sitting at the table--tryng to decide--how to lunchmeat--a guy--see--what do you do to do that?
they said give him the hams of your hand in his face--hard and fast the hams!
another says--hold up!--give him the rib rack of knuckles--grinding into his eyes--rib rack of knuckles!
another yells hoarsely--smash a sausage to his face--let him suck the fat--soaked in fat--set him on fire--a sausage to the face!
but at the back someone else standsup--give him balogna--feed it to him till he drops--baloney in the mouth--baloney words--say all the baloney words--and watch him squrim--all that baloney is way too much! he can'ttake it any more!--covered in bologna! cover him in bolgna rings until he he is throttled--strangled by bologna!
so they sat and caroused and the lunchmeat whenover al agreed was avery goodlunchmeat lunchmeet--
and went on with their lunchemeat work, making lunchmeat--of any unsatsified customers--any disagreers--lucnhmeat them into lunchmeat!--food for thought!
