INTERNATIONAL FLUXHIBITION #3 – Fluxus Boxes, Cases, Kits and Containers by Contemporary Fluxus Artists

Greetings my fellow Fluxus practitioners!

Fluxhibition #2 was a great success thanks to all of the great contributions see the catalog at: http://fluxmuseum.org/
I had planned on Fluxhibition #3 being in 2010 HOWEVER a venue become available for this summer at The University of Texas at Arlington. I, in fact will actually be graduating with a BFA from UTA in about a week (after 35 years!). There is a current Collage Museum call out for an exhibition entitled Thinking Inside of the Box - A Survey of Box Assemblage Art see: (http://collagemuseum.com/thinking-box-call-for-works.html) Deadline May 15th ( PARTICIPATE IN THIS ONE TOO!).

I thought that, since I was able to secure the university venue, it would be great to invite my fluxfriends to contribute a fluxbox for Fluxhibition #3 and later I will combine the two bodies of box works for an additional exhibit later in 2009 or in 2010. So your Fluxbox contribution will get at least double exposure.

SPREAD THE WORD

This is rather short notice so I would appreciate it a great deal if you would post the following call on your blogs and/or mail out to your email lists. If you happen to know addresses for some of the old timers, please inform them of this call - maybe we could get some first generation participation.

My best to all,
