My dad circa 1967.

Part Two of a Series I started this tale a few days ago and inter­rup­tions keep pil­ing up on top of each other like bad news on elec­tion day — affect­ing my abil­ity to get on with the story. The Saga con­tin­ues as I enter the Junior High School Age. Winthrop Rock­e­feller wres­tled con­trol of the Arkansas leg­isla­tive process from Orval […]

Pass to Republican National Convention 1972

Part 1 of a Series My polit­i­cal past sur­prises most peo­ple. I believe it is the extent of activ­ity pre-​1974 that con­tains the cul­tural hic­cup in most minds. I grew up as the final child in a series of three. Birth order deter­mines per­cep­tion of the world. Don’t kid your­self, it truly does. My par­ents dif­fered greatly from my sister’s. […]

In what must be viewed as a truly fluxs​.us action in Atlanta GA, I give you: What must be deemed a “Cit­i­zen Bar­ber — Beauty Shop Response” in Atlanta GA to the Gulf of Mex­ico British Petro­leum Drilling Dis­as­ter: Using hair to sop up the oil spill! Genius. Grab that gunk of hair like it’s some kind unfin­ished casse­role in […]

I Wish For Salve

Cur­rently speak­ing, the obses­sion of this assem­blag­ist is to fold books. Paper­backs, 1950s Reader’s Digests, NC geog­ra­phy text­books from 1930s but of course you already know that if you read my blog. The dif­fi­cult part of the process lies in con­struct­ing the cov­ers for the books. I make the cov­ers from all man­ner of items. The question […]

Artist Books Fluxus Compendium

Over 200 books folded and fab­u­lous. Found a copy of Joe McGin­niss “The Sell­ing of the Pres­i­dent” in paper­back — on my shelf from a U of A class in 1973, required read­ing and it MUST BE USED, will begin flux­ing the book today. The list con­tin­ues. Books repur­posed and restored — mostly paper­backs circa 1950 – 1970 and not first edi­tions (duh) in May 2010: […]

The Oxie Company

Found a let­ter seek­ing investors circa 1899 Mad­of­fian scheme. for a rem­edy for the Grippe. This rem­edy, once pur­chased, could then be sold to all com­ers, every­one — every­where — it was a germ fight­ing rem­edy. Noth­ing ven­ture, noth­ing have. This bit of ephemera came via an ebay auc­tion a cou­ple years ago. It’s hard to buy decent ephemera on ebay these days — oh the […]

Fluxus Claquers - No Money for YOU

Hand Danc­ing, DC-​style, begins to influ­ence Tran­si­tional Fluxus in Many Inde­ter­mi­nate Ways. As we pre­pare for the New New Flux Par­a­digm, let us not for­get the Uni­vac 120 Fluxus Dig­i­tal Media Tran­si­tioner. My thoughts and admi­ra­tion today — sent out to Litsa Spathi of whom I do not know but greatly GREATLY admire. Occa­sion­ally, genius tran­spires and breathes […]
