Neptune plays large menacing instruments that have evident histories such as saw blades, bike parts and oil drums. Each instrument, including guitar bass and drum is sculpted from waste by band member Jason Sanford. Neptune plays loud noisy art punk that you can almost dance to. They have recorded several albums, toured throughout the United States and exhibited instruments in galleries. CRISPIN WEBB uses appropriated electronics, the nostalgic history of found objects, and fabricated switches to create interactive sound sculptures. He is currently undergoing a Masters in Sculpture at the Bard MFA program. Project statement There is an alchemical process that takes place when waste is converted into something useful. REFUSE is a collection of work by artists who apply this process to castaway raw materials reshaped into functional art objects and sound sculptures. The exhibit will include pieces whose emphasis is on form and function, making scavenged material an integral, possibly unapparent element of the work through skilled transmutation. An apparent dwelling space within the gallery will be assembled with pieces ranging from dresses woven from cassette tape ribbon (Alyce Santoro), a chair reupholstered with woven blue new york times bags (Sarah Hollis Perry), chairs fashioned from recycled road signs (Boris Bally) and tables crafted from scrap wood (Scrapile). Several Interactive sound sculptures and musical instruments made from waste will be placed throughout the gallery providing a sonic backdrop for the space. ---End Message---

RE: FLUXLIST: Cleaner throws out bag of trash in artwork
Well--isn't it poetic justice that that which poses as trash in order to be art--be tossed out as trash through too artfully posing as trash? In the early hey days of various forms of conceptualism, my brother and i went to a gallery show in Toronto--all all sorts of installations, objects, etc--which looked just like the actual things, but weren't--they were art, because someone had said so--there were lenghty accompanying texts, often larger than the objects themselves, which theoretically proved that everything that was said to be was truly so--the anceint hoary with myth homage to legacy of Duchamp's toilet bowl and shovel. There wre light switches which didn't turn things on, a tv which didnt receive channels but showed tapes of channels, etc etc. (I wondered if the toilets would flush or not.) There was also a fire alarm--what the heck--is it art or non-art--i.e. the blunt intrusion of a non-theoretical object, the contemptuously regarded/discarded "real" thing--sure enough! we pulled it and everyone began evacuating the premises! My brother had the presence of mind to suggest we stay and enjoy the buffet and swipe all the liquor--expensive non-art booze of all sorts, a regular rogues gallery of "top shelf" "acquisitions"! In other words, you could say we "cleaned up"! Last night a friend of mine gave me an old t-shirt with a stick figure carrying a bag--it reads: TODAY WAS TRASH DAY"-- "refuse/refuse"--david-bc Check out Election 2004 for up-to-date election news, plus voter tools and more!

Well it was Auto-destructive Art, what did he expect?! Michael --- mIEKAL aND [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Cleaner throws out bag of trash in artwork LONDON, England, Aug. 27 (UPI) -- A janitor at a London museum threw away a bag full of paper and cardboard, not realizing that it was part of a work of art. Recreation of First Public Demonstration of Auto-Destructive Art by Gustav Metzger was part of an exhibit Art and the 60s at the Tate Britain gallery. Metzger has since replaced the bag, the BBC reports. Metzger, now 78, invented auto-destructive art in 1959. The work also includes a piece of nylon that is gradually eaten away by acid. The gallery told the BBC that the work is now covered at night and that museum staff have been told that the rubbish is part of the art. Metzger is not the first modern artist to have confused housekeepers. A work that consisted of a pile of beer bottles and other trash was thrown out at a London gallery while a conscientious janitor in Germany scrubbed out a dirty bathtub that was part of a gallery installation. = It's another blog! http://flobberlob.blogspot.com/ ___ALL-NEW Yahoo!

Hi Cecil Well this came through on the Fluxlist okay... Or did it? Now I'm confusing myself... Help!
Re: FW: FLUXLIST: Blog Mining - my reply to Cecil
--I would have suggested it before but the WIKI thing never took off and that was like a group blog or had the potential to be. Nobody seemed interested. A group blog seems like agreat idea to me but then i have more time on my hands than I care to mention! Not much response to the assembling booklet yet except from MIEKal and. I may have to re-consider if nobody is up for it. Michael http://flobberlob.blogspot.com/ - Roger Stevens [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Cecil Well this came through on the Fluxlist okay.
