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

Description:
Natural
Born Fluxus is that tendency among artists to engage in Fluxus-like
behaviors even if they never heard of Fluxus. Or possibly we could say
that Fluxus ideas come out of a naturally occurring tendency in all
artists that we now think of as Fluxus. It could be that the free
wheeling nature of Fluxus allows artists to enjoy their creative, or at
least peculiar, tendencies in an unfettered way that other forms of
organized artistic activities do not.
The sorts of things that delight a Fluxus artist tend to be of an
ephemeral nature, contain a humorous element and refer to that
mysterious some-thing that makes one laugh at a joke; call it irony or
the unexpected twist, Fluxus artists enjoy a good surprise and a
cleaver turn of phrase. They are willing to remain innocent enough to
be easily amused and fall for a good trick.
It is this adherence to a child-like sense of wonder that this book
hopes to illustrate.

Statement about Fluxhibition #3 by Gary Bibb
This may well be one of the most significant
art exhibits of its kind - certainly of the early 21st century.
There are a small handful of established exhibitions designed to
showcase the current state of the arts, such as the Venice Biennale;
however, what's amazing about this exhibit is that it's not organized
by a major institution (along with
the inherent politics), but rather by a group of artists who truly are
in life's trenches - where the "real world" interfaces with artistic
expression.
Although it revolves around Fluxus concepts, it's more of a summation
and clarification of all the previous artistic ideologies regarding
tangible objects as pertintent to subjective content: Duchamp, Cornell,
Rauschenberg and beyond. This is a global art statement by the
"cultural canaries." From personal idiosyncrasies to social
commentaries, Fluxhibition #3: Thinking Inside Of The Box is a
treasury full of artifacts collected while on the grand adventure of
artistic exploration.
