I like any publication re Fluxus. Of the 3 I have, this is the only one w/ an explanatory thread. It's nice seeing how much chaos there still is connected to Fluxus to this day. It's interesting to see so many folks lumped together under the Fluxus umbrella. I wonder how many even felt that strongly affiliated? All of them? 50%? Fluxus was & is amorphous. The umbrella leaks, the umbrella blows away, the umbrella comes back b/c it misses somebody or another, the umbrella is friendly. The umbrella changes size to meet needs, it gets bigger to cover its friends, it gets smaller to challenge them, it shrinks to a dot & hides as a period on a little card of prose intructions.
