Welcome to the FluxMuseum. The Fluxmuseum is dedicated to the collection, performance, production, publishing, promotion, exhibition, documentation andsafekeeping of works of the FluxNexus and its members. LEXICON Fluxus - proto-fluxnexus artists, their networks and their various works that grew out of dadaistic, duchampian and merz tendancies. Flux - a word whose definition remains in a state of Flux other than the general meaning of "to flow or flowing". Often used as a prefix to fluxify the root word. Fluxnexus - a self generating, self validating, loose association of artists, non artists and anti artists who work independantly and together in the study, production and lifestyle of a Fluxist. Are you a part of the fluxnexus? You ought to be. see: fluxnexus.com Fluxify - To place something into a new relationship,context, state of change. Fluxhibition - A exhibition by artists from the FluxNexus Fluxparty - an informal gathering to have fun with fluxist materials. Post-dogmatism - art movement started in 1987 in north Texas at UTArlington's Fine Arts Department by painting students that uses megalomaniac techniques to present itself and its members to the public through the construction of elaborate sounding official institutions and bureaucracies. see: postdogmatist.com	The First International Exhibition/Festival of Fluxus Art by Members of the FluxNexus 2006-07 The Ontological Museum has opened its Fluxnexus wing of the museum with this domain: www.fluxmuseum.org. We 21st century type Fluxus artists have the opportunity to document ourselves. This is a continuation of the Post-Dogmatist program of self documentation through the establishment of its own institutions. The FLUXmUSeum is available to storage, document and exhibit any works that any Fluxnexus artist wishes to donate to it. Storage capacity for physical objects is somewhat limited - no elephants or cars or anything like that. Compactness in important. In keeping with Ontological Museum policies, any registered member of the Fluxnexus (one who has been assigned a PIN#) can establish their own branch of the FLUXmUSeum. Once enough materials are gathered, we will do branch exchanges of material in order to have continually scheduled Fluxhibitions, Fluxfest and the like (see right column). We are a few weeks away from the beginning of a new art season. The Fluxmuseum needs you to help organize a traveling exhibition that will move around in a postal box from place to place and be put on exhibition for a weekend or so. You will have an opening party, invite your friends and have a blast - a Fluxparty in a box. The box might include events, poetry readings, objects, performances and so forth to be created, performed, fabricated and that can be prepared quickly for a low cost by you and your guests and exhibited Send the photos and other documentation to the hub museum (fort worth) and it will be put on the FLUXmUSeum website. On Monday ship off to the next destination. I am sure, in a few days we could throw something together and then improve it as it goes around. Each weekend could be critiqued by whoever is hosting it and then we could tweak it up until it seems really great. To send material to the Ontological Museum use this address Ontological Museum ATTN.: Collections (or Fluxmuseum Collections or Eternal Network Collections or IMCAC collections as the case may be) 6955 Pinon Stree Fort Worth, Texas 76116 Anything visual will be photographed and added to website. A artist file will be maintained by the museum for all contributors here is a page spelling out the collections department: http://www.ontologicalmuseum.org/museum/exhibitions.html Please include this signed and dated DEED OF GIFT FORM For the traveling fluxhibition perhaps we could come up with a poster or a postcard that we could all use for our local event? A postcard could have a cool graphic announcement of a fluxmuseum exhibition on the front and on the back each host could just attach a sticker with the local time and address and other details. OR if a poster, a space could be left for a local information sticker. Or, even cooler, could be a folding brochure that has some sort of textual material with several images or graphics. It could be nice a fluxmuseum plaque designating your space as a branch of the fluxmuseum or if you don't want to make a permanent plaque for your abode or location where you will be having the exhibition, I could come up with a FLUXMUSEUM plaque that could included in the exhibition box and be temporarily attached to your exhibition location. No need for multiples so you can make something kind of nice (but fairly small). The shipping box will be 13x11x6.5. It can build over the course of the year and if there gets to be too much then the host, on any given weekend, can pick and choose, offering the opportunity to have unique exhibition at each venue. We could also pick out favorite old school fluxus event and performance scores to throw in the mix and who ever is the host could include a number of their own works as a featured part of the exhibition and fill in with stuff from the fluxhibition box.	Fluxnexus artists, welcome. How this will work. Members of the fluxnexus will send one or several works for a traveling exhibition/performance/event festival. Once sufficient works have been gathered together, members will be asked to host a weekend with the fluxhibition box. It will be that member's responsibility to arrange for an exhibition either private or public. Then the host will document the event send documentary materials to the hub location (now in Fort Worth Texas) and otherwise ship the box to the next venue where the exhibition will next be held. Documentary materials will be posted on this web site and linked through the venue name shown on the schedule. The following venues, as they fill in will be matched to the dates listed below to show the schedule for the first international exhibition/festival of fluxus art By members of the FluxNexus Venues Fluxmuseum Fort Worth TX USA Fluxmuseum Rome Italy Fluxmuseum Milwaukee USA Fluxmuseum Sollefteå Sweden Fluxmuseum Staten Island, NY USA Fluxmuseum Brisbane, Australia Fluxmuseum Los Angeles, California Fluxmuseum (your city here) Fluxmuseum (your city here) Fluxmuseum (your city here) Fluxmuseum (your city here) other possibles: Mexico, Paris with matthew rose(spring), Denver with Matthew Rose (nov) FLUXHIBITION SCHEDULE possible weekend dates you can pick from in the 2006-2007 season: Oct. 6-7 - Prescott, Az, USA Prescott College (touchon) Oct. 13-15 - Prescott, Az, USA Prescott College (murphy/bennett) Oct. 20-22 Pacific Grove, Ca - Madawg Oct. 27-29 Pacific Grove, Ca - Madawg Nov 3-5 - Rome Italy Walter Cianciusi Nov 24-26 Toronto, ON, CA - Allan Revich Dec 1-3 - open Dec 8-10 - open Dec 15-17 - open Jan 6-7 - Sollefte, Sweden - Bjorn Eriksson Jan 13-15 Regensburg,Bavaria Germany - the media art group Pomodoro Bolzano Jan 20-22 Regensburg,Bavaria Germany - the media art group Pomodoro Bolzano Jan 27-29 - open Feb 3-5 - open Feb 10-12 - open Feb 17-19 - open Feb 24-26 - open Mar 3-5 - open Mar 10-12 - open Mar 17-19 - open Mar 24-26 - open Mar 31-Apr-2 - open Apr 7-9 - open Apr 14-16 - open Apr 21-23 - open apr 28-30 - open May 5-7 - open May 12-14 - open May 19-21 - open May 26-28 - open The box currently contains items from Madawg - Dosier of Emails about Fluxus Reid Wood - Chapbook and a score Walter Cianciusi - Work from a score Allan Revich - several items Simone Gad - a painting Richard Mavis - a collection of collage postcards Ryosuke Cohen - Brain Cell Fractal #628 (with 55 mail artists participating) Luc Fierens - collage postcard Gerald Nason - collages Fraenz Frisch - collage postcard Kickass Review Vol 17, #5 (2006) with material from; Belle Randall Luis Mee Lulu John Bennett S.Mutt Katherine Hastings Edward Coletti Katherine Winter Jim Chandler Michael Rothenberg Vernon Frazer Deborah Swain Richard Silberg Rosemary Cluff Richard Denner Gabriela Anaya Valdepena David Bromige Pat Nolan Eric Johnson Claude Smith Jampa Dorje Gianna De Persiis Vona Cecil Touchon Visible Language 39.3 and 40.1 (the Fluxus double issue) with material from; Owen F.
