 LOCAL PERFORMANCE ARTISTS PRESENT FLUX CAFE TO PERFORM WORKS OF 1960s
FLUXUS COLLECTIVE

 A unique evening of performances in the vibrant style of Fluxus, the late
20th-century art collective.

 February 28, 2004 at 8:00 PM
 Church of the Friendly Ghost
 209 Pedernales
 Austin, Texas

 Admission: Free (performances will cost between $.10 and $50.00)

 Flux Cafe is a unique performance event celebrating the challenging work
of the Fluxus artists of the 1960s and 1970s. Flux Cafe will feature
performances of pieces by artists associated with Fluxus, including Dick
Higgins,Yoko Ono and Nam June Paik, as well as a few new pieces in the vein
of Fluxus.

 The show is being presented by Alex Keller and Josh Ronsen, two
contemporary artists based in Austin. Keller and Ronsen will be joined by
Elana Logsdon and the Austin New Music Co-Op for the performances.

 In the Fluxus tradition of challenging the audience, admission will be
Free and the audience will order pieces a la carte. Alex Keller says The
Flux Cafe asks the audience to be a consumer, and decide what pieces will
happen when. Admission will be free, but in order to see a piece performed
you will have to select it on a menu and order it from the waitstaff. The
costs of pieces will vary from ten cents to fifty dollars. It might be
possible to show up and see an evening of performances without spending a
dime. No piece will be performed more than once, some may not be performed
at all, and  some will be performed simultaneously. It¹s possible that
nothing will happen at all.

 What is Fluxus? Josh Ronsen says FLUXUS is a name used to describe the
activities and objects of a group of artists mainly living in New York City
in the 1960s, but Fluxus happened around the world. It is not an artistic
movement, but more of a brand name of absurdity, humor, dedication,
simplicity, art, anti-art, and anti-anti-art. Its detractors, including
Pierre Boulez, called it Neo-Dada. Its supporters called it Zen Vaudeville.
Fluxus tried to cross every line, break every barrier, destroy every
unquestioned convention about art, music and life. There is a beautiful
conciseness, like a Zen koan, to a perfect Fluxus performance score, and a
austere business-like approach to its realization.
