My timepiece is presently unfinished, though it potentially exists in entirety.

It won't be compiled by September 4. The best I can do at this point 
is  9/7/00.

The "presently unfinished, potential existence in entirety" is understood
absolutely and resides around me and within me with reckless abandon and, as most
of us know, does not abide restriction(s).

Like I said above,
Okey, dokey : ).

Best,

recently i start to see my self like an "open ended" project
(like a salmon swimming up the river to deshovar
or sisifo pushing up the stone over the mountain)
i used to start "things" and let them alone adding details from time to time
maybe this is cause i work for myself  i'm not hurry
to end nothing in my life.
i hate to finish everything i love.
so, count on me here.

thanks

 How about an unfinished project, Fluxlisters?

Souds good as I haven't actually even started anything in ages.
Which leaves e v e r y t h i n g unfinished.

 The work could be graphic or written.
 It should have some kind of Fluxus connection I would think.

Don't overdo it, mate.
 
 Any takers? ideas etc. welcome.

I might be interested.

How about an unfinished project, Fluxlisters?

(In honour of Alan - not to mention myself and probably every other artist
in the world who's ever had a challenge with finishing a piece of work - or
knowing when it's finished)

Something along the lines of -
participants submit a piece of unfinished work
that can be reproduced in 2D
and exhibited in a book format (say A4)

The work could be graphic or written.
It should have some kind of Fluxus connection I would think.

The book would simply be called
Unfinished Work

Any takers? ideas etc. welcome.

I think this sounds wonderfu

It could maybe be, back to an earlier comment by you, I think -- a SEEMINGLY 
unfinished project   as, who will KNOW or realize if each piece is 
unfinished?  or should we in all humble self-diminishment WRITE OUT why we 
feel our piece is unfinished, or, "not enough"   

I'm glad to get back to this idea, as I think the folks who wrote a bit about 
having the nerve to finish a piece, justify a piece, self-critique a piece 
well, I think that is in a way the core of what we are getting at on 
this list, in our art, our attitude towards art.

trouble is I don't know how to articulate all this, I was surely hoping 
someone else would step in and give us reasons to go on, now it occurs to me 
--- should we send an unfinished project that we've already unfinished, or 
should it be a newly-provoked (by this  call) unfinish(ed)(able) work?

Put me on the list --- I think I can actually (not quite) DO this!

Want to be unfinished and project?  All together?

I have an unfinished project - it's called the Timepiece Project.  I have
several people who haven't finished.  I think they're Mr Blower, Ms. Forer and
Mr. Smith.  Which is ok, because these projects in themselves are so uniquely
beautiful, I am in a quandry (and technically, hmmm, what is the word, well,
sycollogically, Allen Bukoff, Sol Nand then a T, could help here, for a term,
or  (yeah, you don't know becuz you paint) maybe Eryk S., and also what was 'is
name, something about the Hebrides, but I digress), about what to do with them
all.  If missing suspects don't reply with works, I will proceed after
September 4.
