Red Dot Fluxus Stuck in a Tree

not rauschenberg's

not robert rauschenberg's erasers

I've always found Rauschenberg's idea appealing. In an attempt to combine ideas from the last several posts (copycatting not-something-new red circles) here's a 10x enlargement of the upper left corner of the One Million Red Circles with number 1002 erased until the paper started to fail.

Fight Fluxus CopyCats


Isou, Tzara & Breton implicated in attempt to overthrow fluxus.

This is not something new


Label text: Fluxus proposes an intersection of disciplines. A couple of thousand years after The Mathematikoi, relationships in culture and expression were being mapped in the context of Intermedia.

Red Dot Fluxus in Black & White

"Blogosphere Avant-Gardism"

In a post on the blog MyDD, Chris Bowers sees a connection between the political blogsphere and FLUXUS--just substitute "political punditry" for "art."

Ed Leeper sculpture in Caermel

Ed, my Monterey conceptual artist friend was asked to do this sculpture for a sculpture garden in Carmel. It's made with all termite eaten wood. The faces are photos of friends of his who gather regularly at a coffee shop. The piece will be up for 3 months. It's at Carl Cherry Center for the Arts, 4th and Guadelupe. Dawg

Flatland is coming

In this semi-extreme performance, 6 curious artists strip away not only most of modern life's familiar structures, but an entire dimension: they have elected to inhabit a structure that effectively forces them to live in 2 dimensions. The structure is 4 stories high, 24 feet wide, and 24 inches deep, covered in transparent plastic (vinyl). It resembles a terrarium or "ant farm" and is inspired by the 19th century science fiction novel it is named after, "Flatland". http://www.flatlandproject.com/

Ward Shelley works as an artist in Brooklyn, New York. He specializes in large projects that freely mix sculpture and performance. Shelley has concentrated on bizarre functioning architectural pieces in which he lives and works during the exhibition.

A fan of Ward Shelley since Platform Voyage.

Life in Flux

Pauline Oliveros
2007 Resounding Vision Award

Nameless Sound is pleased to present the third annual Resounding Vision Award. The award honors musicians whose efforts transcend aesthetics and resonate beyond the performance venue. It honors artists who follow a vision of progress in our communities.
Composer, performer and humanitarian Pauline Oliveros has profoundly influenced people around the world with her music, philosophy and teachings. Born and raised in Houston, Oliveros became known in the early 1960s as part of the San Francisco Tape Music Center, the first electronic music studio on the West Coast. While pioneering electronic music and being involved in early performances of important new music (John Cage, etc.), Oliveros also forged a path that lead her to become one of the era's most important composers. She was innovative in her use of technology, improvisation, theater and ritual in contemporary music. She created "Sonic Meditations," a body of compositions/meditations for musicians and non-musicians alike. From Sonic Meditations, Oliveros developed "Deep Listening," a philosophy of meditation practiced around the world.

For Allan

Hi Allan, I liked your flux photo, here I fiddled with it some. It's true that flux is everywhere if you keep your eyes open.
