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: […]

Arts Council Member's Show

Inter­na­tional Flux­hi­bi­tion #4 is online and might I say, Cecil Tou­chon has done quite an amaz­ing job. While a for­mal intro­duc­tion (shak­ing of hands and how-are-you?s) does not yet exist between us, the use of “Mr. Tou­chon” seems a bit for­mal here so I shall assume we are now on a first name basis. There’s a new Flux Case project and […]

I recently dis­cov­ered, via a Face­book friend, UbuWeb​.com and Henri Chopin’s poetry. This dis­cus­sion, quoted from ubuweb, just thrills me. You can lis­ten to Chopin by click­ing here. go ahead, do it… lis­ten to a Can­tata for Two Farts The poem is a liq­uid fluxus, a micro­scopic bio­log­i­cal real­ity, rise and deca­dence of cel­lu­lar struc­tures, a pulp, a «voice from the whole […]

A ques­tion, posed by the Demon­stra­tive Fluxus Admin­is­tra­tor Cecil Tou­chon, answered thusly upon the Face­book Fluxus col­lec­tive: Flux is dis­tinct from Fluxus. Fluxus relates to an ongo­ing process. Flux relates and inflates, describes and con­tains a phys­i­cal body of work. It encom­passes math­e­mat­i­cal pos­si­bil­i­ties as well as a state of mind. The eter­nal quan­ti­fier with a legit­i­mate definition […]

phonographical time traveler

It is time. The Flux Mon­i­tor reveals all. Yes, patrons of the assem­blage rag, the most recent of days con­tains many puz­zling conun­drums. Can a conun­drum not puz­zle? Let me redact. I have assem­bled all the nec­es­sary pro­po­nents for my Cor­re­la­tion Phono­graph­i­cal Time Trav­eler. At the present moment, only the small­est of object can trans­port — specif­i­cally cater­pil­lars of only […]
