This
exhibition
started out as a call to assemblage artists from the International
Museum of Collage, Assemblage and Construction when I happened onto a
large stash of cigar boxes. I then invited artists to contribute a box
assemblage - possibly using one of these collected boxes - to the
Museum's permanent collection for the exhibition entitled Thinking
Inside of the Box. Then there was the
bright idea to continue the thought by focusing the FluxMuseum's Fluxhibition
#3 around
the idea of Boxes, Cases, Kits and Containers. Thus, Fluxhibition
#3: Thinking Inside of the Box -
Boxes, Cases, Kits and Containers is a combination of
these two exhibitions to make one very full and interesting survey of
Box Assemblage. Box Assemblage has been a part of Fluxus since its
earliest days inspired by both Marcel Duchamp and Joseph Cornell who
happen to be heroes to many assemblage and collage artists as well.
Therefore,
it seems a good fit to bring these different artists together around
the idea of the box and what to do with one.Boxes and containers in general have been a fascination to many over the course of history and an opportunity for artists to embed artistry into the box design. Human beings always seem to have a lot of stuff and have always needed ways to drag that stuff around and there has always been the need of containers to store this stuff in. The history of the container is so far reaching that I don't suppose anyone has ever written a book on the topic or at least I have never seen one. History aside, the boxes in this exhibition are a fasinating cross section of ideas in box assemblage from all over the world. Represented in this show are artists from the all over the USA, the UK, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Canada, Australia, The Netherlands, Greece, Germany, Hungry, Cyprus, Italy, The show will open at The Gallery in the E.H. Hereford University Center at the University of Texas at Arlington in Arlington, Texas for the month of July (1-31) with a little get together on Friday July 10 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. If you plan to attend please call 817-944-4000 or email touchon@gmail.com for more details. A catalog will be available once completed. Thank you to all of the wonderful and generous artists whose contributions made this into the amazing show that it is. SEE THE INSTALLATION SHOTS! Press Release post card Poster #1 Poster #2 Poster #3 (Keith Buchholz) There are and will be several more works to add to this page so please come back to see the additional works once they are added. I would like to thank all of the wonderful artists who contributed works for this exhibition. Without their generous support this show would not be a reality. This exhibit is intended as a traveling exhibition. Curators are welcome to inquire about the possibility of having this exhibit travel to your institution. Please contact cecil@touchon.com or call 817-944-4000 Please enjoy the show! Cecil Touchon |

Flux Cache Angela McGuire - Fluxmass - Holyoke, MA Wood, paint, gold Statement: Leibniz said; "Whatever terms are used it is always false to say that all our conceptions come from the so-called external senses, becuase those conceptions which I have of myself and of my thoughts and consequently of being, of substance, of action, of identity, and of many others comes from an inner experience". This object records, confirms and reflects its natural self. Nothing is disquised, hidden, or insincere. |

Box of Failures or Failure to Ejaculate Jane Wang - Mobius Artists Group - Boston, MA Museum box containing artifacts with notations related to failures. This box of failures is itself a failure. I've always slightly resented museums which tempt visitors with objects but warn "Don't Touch" setting alarms off if the hapless visitor gets within breathing range of the objects. To counteract these acts of repression against hapless visitor(s) THEREFORE In/De-structions for the Visitor: Feel free to 1. take out and open the zip lock bags even if they tear 2. blow up the balloons 3. listen to the cassette ( although maybe I should have sent a cassette player as well -another example of the box's failure) 4. rearrange items in the box 5. misfile items 6. take parts of the items away 7. rip the silver paper (good luck it's harder than you might think) 8. improvise 9. scream |

Possibilities Kathryn Uster - Lake Havasu City, AZ ‘Possibilities’
was inspired by watching a short film on Gaudi and his love for the
organic. He knew he would not succeed in completion of his dream, but
the struggle to work and create inspires and keeps others working on
it, still, today. Feelings of being boxed in and compartmentalized can,
sometimes, stifle the creative spirit. Artists will drill away at
their own, or society's cubicles. Just as a seedling will find its way
to the light, budding from seed, growing around and through barriers,
the spirit of possibilities will reach for new heights or
directions.

Tissue Box to Bird House Bleu
By Kate Robinson
Collage
both illustrates and communicates my life story and helps me determine
where I am, where I have been, and to imagine where I may go.
Disparate images and incongruent juxtapositions require the viewer to
“think inside the box.” Collage is a medium that allows for
cross-language, cross-cultural and individual interpretation.
With Tissue Box to Bird House Bleu, I honor the ultimate
thinker-inside-the-box, Joseph Cornell.
Cornell is known for his box assemblages, his love of nature, nostalgia
for childhood and an affinity for shades of blue reminiscent of the
star-studded night sky. This tissue box cover becomes a
celestially
imagined bird house with treasures Cornell would appreciate: a tin with
fabric tucked inside, a jar with blue yarn, blue buttons and beads, a
crayon, a muscle shell with a white egg-like stone, and a dragon fly.
