A really amazing John Cage Interview (from later on, but still very enlightening, I think.)
Also if you look up fluxus there are a few short fluxus films, too! There is one that has like two seconds of charlotte moorman's tv bra, but you cant see much, its mostly a big TEASE.
...Fluxus never stopped in 1968.
Yhe participants then are still active and the Fluxus group has grown.....
hello,
just found your blog searching under "joseph beuys." Thought you might be interested in both of my blogs (check my profile). I'm an art and social practice student at Portland State University, Harrell Fletcher is the teacher here.
I was wondering, what is this group about? I see it's a class. Are you just posting your findings? Let me know, it looks interesting.
Hi how are you? I was looking at your posts and liked what I mused on and read.
I would like you to visit my art blog here in my sunny home of San Diego.
I hope to hear from you soon.....
Jesse Noe
