FLUXLIST: from db chirot/inspiration
hello dear friends fellow workers-- nbb is sharing for a bit her connection to/with the E(ternal) Network--as i am still living about early 1970s with electric typewriter copy machines-- i miss you all very much--working away as always on many projects-- this week i will have two operations on left arm--at the elbow and wrist for nerve damage in the extreme--so will be inspirational a challenge to work one handed--a real one-armed bandit-- robbing myself blind! inspiration--always have found in just going out for a walk--so much happening at any instant everywhere from play of light, environmental sounds--to all the--in cities or anywhere anymore--writings present--signs, etc--huamn ones and then those made by nature-- all the refuse of such great interest-- all the auditory adventures going on from so many forms of soundmaking--voices to autos to leaves to boom boxes, etc etc-- i often think when walking, as my work all street finding based--of a favorite remark by a favorite poet, Larry Eigner-- he said a poem is like taking a walk then it extends itself meaning--to be OPEN-- via attention care serendipity as he calls it-- to the movement--and then--the extension-- --a poem. . . i learned a lot more about this attention care --as much as serendipity--hope, trust-- when locked up for ninety days for most part--and was in very minimal environment-- so learned much from movements of light and shadow on walls through shades--or the varying degress of heat and cold in rooms by where one sat, and on what materials--and times of day--and endless forays of great interest into the languages of cracks in floors walls-- varying carrying of sounds differing times of days, numbers of bodies, their placements in space--much interest to do with eyes closed-- one fellow paid me a great compliment--said no point in putting me in solitary--i would have far to grand a time watching cracks and light and shadows--and finding poems in them-- out of this i began writing haiku which have never before, excellent training-- as one finds inspiration in what is directly in front of one, and with a delimited number of syllables and lines--sees hears feels realizes--ever opening--how much there is--how ever and so ever much--so that one need but a little work with, continually-- also did find much to work onwith rubbings using lumber crayon little paper pads--machine parts and signs, letterings on doors--and words and signs inscribed in wood with knives by people through time--though not too as much as imagine periodically the knives were removed from dining room! --and--not by the ones wanting to carve--but the ones who didn't want it to be done except for cutting shoe leather thick pieces of what we called mystery meat-- onwo/ards-- nothing like a good walk for finding inspration-- or a good sitting or lying down-- attention in movement in flows of time and space-- some/every/thing there-- the bare bones of haiku are plainness oddness-- (from Basho) outwo/ards! david baptiste

forwarding from david baptiste chirot (per his request) his latest mail art call which speaks to the upcoming event: MAIL ART CALL Dear Fellow Fluxlist, Sound and Visual Poetry and Mail Art Workers: Greetings and all best in art and life -- 2002 has arrived -- the Panlindromatic Year -- reading backward and forward the same. The Panindromatic Day is thus: 20/02/2002. Let us contemplate, question and create with this event! The palindrome is both coming and going at the same time. Is it a self-contained mirror -- or an infinite series? -- what is its chaos and what its order? Is it a trick, a game -- or a profound revelation? What are its qualities and evidences -- in language, sound, vision and life? Does the palindrome get us anywhere -- or everywhere? Is it a unity and a splitting at once? Is it yin/yang? Is it a mandala, a round, a mantra -- is it perpetual motion or dead stop? 2002: The Palindromatic Year. Please send works on the theme, sizes A4 and less, in any media -- originals or copies. The first deadline is the Palindromatic Day 20/02/2002. The second deadline is the end of the Palindromatic Year. Documentation to follow. Until further notice, please send to: David Baptiste Chirot c/o Jean Dean 2874 N. 52nd Milwaukee, WI. 53210

Re: FLUXLIST: Cage's prints a new book
many many thanks for these sites --- i sure am tempted by that book, as i can't see the works in person cage's minimalist works make me wonder though: daily life is a mess --- the debris and toss and paperpileup of any day seems very REAL (i.e. fluxus) to me: sort of BASIC. i say this as i contemplate (impossible) the mess of my art space and the collection the packrat ways of accumulation this kind of paring down to an essential element is so alluring --- but almost feels false? in that it must ignore the piling up of ideas/words/people/books/pagespagespages/mail? i say this not at all in critique, just in wonder --- honestly. i can every moment look at one scrap of paper and know it is in itself a poem, a statement, a satisfactory comment on the mood or day the ring of a coffee cup, the burn of an artaud gris-gris or cage edge expression is it mostly a way of clarifying/cleansing the mind, to come to this way of expression?when for me any day the MESS seems more honest? yet, as you can tell, more frustrating...(and to enter the garden metaphor messages of recent days)a terrible doom of WEEDING out, no! not doom? is it?pleasure. but how to show BOTH? the mess the singular element in isolation? (for this isolation/focus i do love alison knowles' recent book of pages from her notebooks) i feel sure it is not "wrong" to want BOTH but at the same time i feel i need to honor / give most energy to the one that says MOST..

Re: FLUXLIST: A._S.L.O.T.H. MANIFESTO
I think this well speaks to YOUR sensibility which sounds very generous but does not allow that there are many others, other ways and focusses towards art, or what we are getting at here as meaning "art" or meaning "meaning"! when you speak of practicalities isnt' that what it comes down to, when each artist person is working with their particular possibilities/talents/means/leanings so that if one might wish to enter into the "abstract" --- that is just as fine an avenue as "concrete" and off the street? could even refer to the same end, simply from an other view I don't think it is so easy for everyone, as sometimes you feel it should be --- and to call grappling with dilemmas like this simply a sort of fretting "anxiety" well, just adds another fret to MY anxiety!! trying to "get it" NBB

Re: FLUXLIST: alison knowles
this book from Granary arrived on my doorstep today --- Footnotes: collage journal 30 years Patricia -- it fits in so well to the idea of the time pieces! torn from 5x7 notebooks and taped onto a larger page, the tape itself now "highlighted" one way or the other as arranged, "an artistic artifice as well as an homage to Diter Rot and his SEP book 246 Little Clouds" everyother page has one of these notebook pages, with facing page/text of poetic notations, sometimes quite minimalist or sounding like mini scores for performance the pieces have the quick at-the-scene feel of Dave Baptiste Chirot's pages for the fluxlist timepiece, giving the sense that almost you are watching thoughts/impressions as they appear blur and disappear, ideas nearly wiggling as they become visual in pencilled scribbles, mind in action introduction by JRothenberg is good, ending with AK quote "It is important to remember that we are free to make art and poetry out of anything: a loaf of bread, some beans, a hasty jotting on the train." I ordered the Footnotes not having seen a page, just so hopeful that it'd touch my obsessions with calendars/days/collage/found poetry and I love it. I'm sorry I can't do a more appropriately articulate review - now I have to go spend some time with this book! NBB
Re: FLUXLIST: Unfinished Project
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! nbb

FLUXLIST: Re: lost photos
I have your photos. On a standard set of 24 or 26 or whatever they are, the last one is always gratuitous, extra, in other words, it becomes a "mistake" on our roll. We don't believe there is an extra, we just press the button everytime and end up with a shot of space, empty or dusty, the ceiling, the nearest leg. I feel sure that, akin to theories of lost socks, these ARE your lost photos. I have 2 from the recently processed roll. This must happen to other people, please let this happen to other people, can we be so lonely-lame, such lunatic lovers of lost landscapes? I feel sure that if we all POOL our lost/loserly pics we will come up with a fluxus document representative of the SHADOW of your lost pictures, or the imagined dream (which I will dream tonight, and you?) of those lost photos, the hidden intent, the possible (lost in time/space/photolab) MIRACLE that you intended -- don'tcha think?
