THE CALL FOR THIS SHOW:

INTERNATIONAL FLUXHIBITION #2 - NEW AND IMPROVED FLUXUS ARTIFACTS: Classic and Contemporary Scores, Instructions & Artifacts by Fluxus Artists From the FLUXmUSeum’s Permanent Collection - including works by: Marchel Duchamp, Yoko One, Dick Higgins, Ken Friedman, John Lennon, Cecil Touchon, George Brecht, Madawg, Larry Miller, Neil Horsky, Reid Wood, Gregory Steel, Tomas Schmit, Keith Buchholz, John, M. Bennett, Luc Fierens, Reed Altemus, Marco Giovenale, Brad Brace, Sheila Murphy, Don Boyd and others.

Deadline for submission: September 10th, 2008. The exhibition will be during the month of October 2008 at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center – Fort Worth, Texas USA.

Call for works – no returns - all works accepted. All works will be documented and entered into the permanent collection of the FluxMuseum. The exhibition will be permanently exhibited on the FLUXmUSeum’s website: FLUXmUSeum.org. - time permitting, a catalog will be produced for the show and made available by the end of the year.

This is an exhibition of Scores, Instructions and Artifacts by contemporary artists working with Fluxus ideas with selected seminal scores and instructions by artists typically affiliated with Fluxus.

The focus of this exhibition is on the sorts of scores and instructions that can stand alone as artifacts or that can be demonstrated through visual objects as opposed to scores that require an actual musical or physical performance in order to be realized (such as in a Fluxfest or a Fluxconcert)

. In other words, this show will be works that the viewer can encounter in an exhibition environment without the need of a live performance.

Artists will donate up to ten scores or instructions to the FLUXmUSeum by email that can stand alone as a score only AND/OR as an easily, quickly and cheaply produced or assembled artifact generated from the score.

Examples might be something like: Ken Friedman’s
