FLUXLIST: Fwd: [AML] Mail artist use postal system as medium while avoiding envelope
---BeginMessage--- March 10, 2006, 6:07PM Mail artist use postal system as medium while avoiding envelope By EILEEN MCCLELLAND Houston Chronicle BETH Jacobs marvels at her mail. With good reason. She's never sure what might turn up. It could be a pink plastic toy brain or a Pringles can. A glow-in-the-dark alien or a wooden-handled purse. An egg carton or a squishy Halloween- decoration pumpkin head. A license plate or a pizza box. She's found all of them in her West University Place mailbox at some point, with canceled stamps and clearly printed mailing labels. But none arrived in a box. For mail artists, the medium is the postal system. One thing they all have in common? Naked white envelopes make their skin crawl. Jacobs and her correspondents surprise each other with offbeat mail. We're all so used to going to the mailbox and grabbing a wad of bills, so it's so nice when you go out to your mailbox and you don't know what you're going to find there. Especially when it's something someone has made for you. Another of her treasures, a green plastic hat the kind worn by St. Patrick's revelers who've consumed too much green beer got through the postal system with 43 cents postage. No box. No beer. Often, mail art is about what's not there. It's a conceptual-art movement with no membership, organization or leaders. Mail artists form loose networks, but they're not clubby types. In fact, they tend to abhor formal groups as much as they do an unadorned envelope. Paola Morsiani, curator of the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, said mail art springs from the Utopian idea that everyone can make art and that art connects people all over the world. What I find interesting is that it's a precursor to Internet art, which also involves making a connection, she says. The Contemporary Arts Museum in 2002 presented an exhibition of the work of Alighiero e Boetti that included his mail-art projects. It's not something that most artists would specialize in, Morsiani says. Usually, it's just one form of expression an artist would use. Mark Jetton, manager of Salado Stamp in Salado and a former Houston resident, is one of Jacobs' most faithful correspondents. We're an odd lot, Jetton says. Mail art is hard to understand. I'm not so sure it is art; it's probably not good art. One year, around Halloween (prime shopping season for mail artists), Jetton found fake rubber hands and feet at Big Lots and, realizing their potential, bought several of each. I cut a hole in the box and made the hand come through and I secured it very well, addressed the top of the box, took it to the post office. They oohed and aahed; they couldn't believe it. He also sent a friend awaiting foot surgery a foot version, with toes sticking out of the box. He's been on the receiving end of oddities, too. I have gotten a coconut in the mail, just a coconut with a label attached, he says. It was hairy, it was very strange. I don't know what the postman thought. Jacobs and Jetton agree that befriending postal workers is one key to success. If you know them, you feel like they'll take good care of it, Jetton says. Once it goes behind that wall they may jump up and down on it for all I know, but I've had very good luck with the mail. People complain about the price of stamps, but to me it's amazing that for 39 cents you can drop a piece of paper in the mail, it goes across the country, and someone else gets to see it a few days later. Well, usually a few days later. It'll generally get to its destination, but there's no guarantee how quickly. A mask Jacobs fashioned from handmade paper and decorated with fringe took three weeks to travel a mile. But it arrived in perfect condition. I can't show you my very best art, because it's somewhere else on the planet, she says. Part of the fun is entertaining postal workers. The post office is so boring and regimented and restricted and conformist, Jacobs says. We like to bust up the routine of the postal workers. White envelopes are just abhorrent to the mail artist's nature. After Sept. 11 and the mail anthrax scare, mail artists tended to get more conservative and follow basic rules in hope of bending them. New York graphic artist Mark Bloch rode one of mail art's waves of popularity in the mid-'70s as a college student at Kent State University in Ohio. Although mail art has influenced his whole career, he says some of the thrill is gone because postal workers are increasingly suspicious. I used to love to appear at the post office window with five weeks' worth of mail, Bloch says. There was a whole performance-art aspect to it. Now anything unorthodox they don't want to send it. Bloch recently sold and donated boxes of archived mail art to New York University's Downtown Collection. Most participating artists have similarly large collections of it piled in their homes or studios. Three-dimensional mail is just one aspect

FLUXLIST: Fwd: [fluxnexus] Theory of Reality--Am I on fluxlist still????
---BeginMessage--- New to fluxnexus.com but I am working on a book of verse that I think address many of the 12 core fluxus ideals. Theory of Reality (part 1) All this talk of physics and quantum makes me wonder on and on, hmmm! How does Einstein and his theory help us see our place more clearly From Learys views on an altered state to the mind of Buddha we can meditate and each day we ponder some new question that leads us to find another connection our course is not determined by fate as we live in the world that we create But all the things that you and I can see that we call (in a sense) our reality are really just our separate perceptions subject to all our object interpretations But what of the principles of cosmic unity that can be applied to all with equanimity and whose key the meaning of life unlocks or can explain to us some life paradox like why all the evil and why all the sin (in a world like this how can we win) The ancients tried to solve this puzzle but without a science it was all metaphysical and with classical concepts like yin and yang of the cycles of nature they thought and sang Every up needs a down and every this needs a that for without the opposites the world would be flat no winter, no summer, so nothing could grow with no dark, there's no light, so the cosmos can't flow Then the Zen masters came and said be it for the art of perfection can be just to sit and let the unconscious mind find the groove where subject and object together will move For quite some time things were thought of the same until guys like Newton made science the game and described the forces of mass and gravity then we found new elements with radio activity and with laws of physics and mechanics quantum men leaped from the earth and cracked the atom Then concepts from the greatest and the smallest thing needed some unifying theory they called string that tried to connect the galactic space to the subatomic particles that race in orbits determined by the forces of matter that can even change time like former and latter but in the final analysis each atomic (or cosmic) event proved the sage teachings that it's all interdependent and the whole can be broken down to its pieces but the bits only exist in the context of our species as we the observers see the objects more clearly in the web of knowledge we call Quantum Theory. skate Yahoo!

The wish tree consists of a large ficus on which people hang tags that they have written wishes. I just found out from a Japanese friend yesterday that it is a tradition during some festival (Tanamata?) to hang them on bamboo and then burn them when the celebration is over.

I think what makes Fluxus so dynamic and interesting to me is that there is no definition- I wish people would just accept that. The appealing idea is that Fluxus is inclusive. Artists spend most of their careers being rejected which is why Fluxus is so refreshing--or should I just go be a Neoist?? Dawg
