A Call for Art for a MAJOR EXHIBITION of Contemporary Flux - Work .... Please consider sending for this exhibition. This exhibit may tour to additional locations as well ... that's still in the planning stages. Artworks may be returned at your cost after exhibition, or you can request that the work become part of the permanent collection of the Networker Archive in Chicago. Also.... We will be doing a performance Night on March 15th in conjunction with this show .... If there is any way you can be there to perform, Let me know. FLUXJOB call for artists – due December 31, 2013 Minnesota Center for Book Arts (MCBA) seeks art for inclusion in a curated exhibition that will feature contemporary artists working in the spirit of Fluxus. In the 1960s, George Maciunas urged a small group of artists to purge the world of bourgeois sickness and dead art. The result was Fluxus, a non-movement that expanded the definitions of what art can be. Fluxjob will be an exploration of contemporary artists who continue to create interdisciplinary anti-art that is ephemeral, inexpensive, and interactive. The exhibition will be presented in MCBA’s main gallery February 7 to July 6, 2014. All media and formats are welcome. This includes, but is not limited to: offset publications, magazines, assemblings, zines, boxed sets, games, posters, prints, mail art, drawings, digital works, democratic multiples, performance scores and artists’ books in their many forms. There is no entry or participation fee. Selected artists will be responsible for all shipping costs. The exhibition is being co-curated by Jeff Rathermel, MCBA’s Executive Director and noted Fluxus artist, publisher and performer Keith Buchholz. There is no entry or participation fee. Selected artists will be responsible for all shipping costs.

a Fluxus Manifesto

the actual passage was not as expected

flim flam

canisters

dj vibrations and flugelhorn

these analog conundrums stimulate the rounder digits

they are gleaming thoroughfares

sending us back to reverse

if not then,  and again

then a return movement

then a blasted interval

then a torque and release

To reconcile that which is prescribed to that which is chaotic, free to happen.  The joy of Artmaking.  Fresh and adventuresome.  Beauty of an idea turned into a verb with a license to do the opportunistic and the silly.  Use of materials common to our everyday experience.  Turned on its head, turned around, turned inside out, turned away.  Spun.  Curious with what can happen now, in singularity, in multiples, in responses.  Questions the expected art practices. An experience of ideas. Theatrical activity welcomed.  A possibility to engineer a degree of tension and surprise.

I spoke with Chris about the box and show for clarification and agreed to post this update on fluxlist. Ginny

All work displayed will go into the Flux box and will become part of the gallery’s perm collection. He says a list of artists will be sent out.
