Bunnings to Wa Chu was the new cathederals of waste, so many of his chinese comrades lie on shelf after shelf,....row after row...aisle after aisle......soaring ceilings of thing,........ bright banners,........ brightly dressed assistant clergy........., smells of incense, and most of all...........the intensity of the worshippers...worshoppers....they know what they want in life so clearly...they have selected their worshopping partners and now want more......and it is plastic.............
:: Peter . 9:30 PM [+] ::

Why Bunnings?

Monday approaches...the doors of the Org ........three days away seems a lifetime.................................was I missed?....was it noticed?......calls not returned?.....
:: Peter . 9:25 PM [+] ::
...
Wa Chu wanted a simple farewell....it is tragic seeing the ink go lighter-fainter...small strips.dots..then nothing....Sa Go knows it is her future as well but is a resigned pen.....no rage....no gushing....steady prose....her stories of High School in Tokyo were horrific.....just as Wa Ch'u's heroic struggles against the infamy of Chiang Kai Chek......so much colour.....
:: Peter . 9:22 PM [+] ::
...
well what a weekend.....high in the mountains...Wa Chu passed away writing a lovely long word....I tried writing short modern passages too prolong his tragic life...but alas.....but he did see eagles soaring...huge clouds...and was finally laid to rest in Bunnings Croydon, row 12 -aisle B,....what he wanted....Sa Go has been a tower of strength....despite her past experiences......I wonder why there lives are so richer than the turdic roles of a Lucasism celluloid feature...plastic and ink is winning the reality wars..

A pure Fluxus translation ...become another "thing:"again......

Martin grins......and rolls over.....
:: Peter . 12:29 PM [+] ::
...

I love translations on the Net....they follow carefully the rules of
Prince Fredreich...of so long ago.....
Example:

The German artist Martin Kippenberger (1953-1997) takes certainly within the art happening of the last years a singular, unmistakable position. With its early death an almost endless production of pictures, sculptures, installations, designs, publications and other artifacts locked itself, over whose sense and meaning the opinions apart-go still far. The life of an active and extremely professional personality went in addition, at the same time to end, that submitted the role of the artist of an inexorable criticism as it were on different levels. As Kippenberger between illusion and convention of the artistic occupation knew to untescheiden and as counterpart in addition a network of Metaebenen in its work to produce understood, it succeeded to him to question the conceptions of high Weihen of the art in principle.
:: Peter . 12:28 PM [+] ::
...

No!...I did'nt write that....Why should I?

I "selected' it ------carefully---- as Martin would have.......
:: Peter . 12:10 PM [+] ::
...

It's exactly like the "Org"

Martin Kippenberger’s The Happy Ending of Franz Kafka’s "Amerika," takes its inspiration from the 1927 novel, Amerika, by Czech author Franz Kafka. In the concluding chapter of Kafka’s novel, the protagonist attends an employment -recruiting center of gargantuan proportions and, after a long struggle with absurd bureaucratic structures, finally lands a job. The real and surreal are closely related in the world described in Kafka’s novel as they are in Kippenberger’s huge installation. The sheer volume of tables and chairs set up on a "playing field" ready for the "game" of the interview process overwhelms with the vastness and absurdity of its physical presence. Kafka’s bureaucratic machine takes on a humor and pathos in Kippenberger’s hands in his selection of worn-out, cast-off furniture. Like Kafka before him, Kippenberger was both satirist and allegorist of an intolerable human truth: the power of the social order to negate human will.

His work on Kafka's Amerika...I saw in Prague...fantastic...

Ben B is almost reaching the "moving line" of being up-to-date...amazing recovery...
'schmuckfliese" must have something to do with it!!....If only he had
hung it on his wall.....he could be a member of the "org" by now!!....but is that
what he wants??......The support team is massing for the final assault on the last gate between BenB-
VTAC- and whatever..............the................future..........holds!........

The Cafe anxiety was very good - meeting with Noah on his "bike" = cost more than my first 5 cars
...good food...discussing past - future thingies....niice afternoon
I must return to the "Org"....payday today....not enough!!
:: Peter . 9:47 AM [+] ::
...
:: Monday, September 02, 2002 ::
Ben has not hung his "Schmuckfliese" ....the power is fading....germs are winning - vodka is
not the answer......It was seen lying on a shelf.......Mitt Gott!!
:: Peter . 3:51 PM [+] ::
...
I need to think - I need to think - I need to think.....I have only a small percentage of time left of
the overall time available.
:: Peter . 3:49 PM [+] ::
...
I came to the "Org" late and left the "Org" early
:: Peter . 3:46 PM [+] ::
...
Noah and meeeting at "Anxiety" Cafe - st kilda this week should prove to be highlight,
Ben B made the Sunday Sun - 2 page spread - so much glare and publicity.......still it's only
"Bells and Whistles " combined with "Smoke and Mirrors" = state of the art........
:: Peter . 3:38 PM [+] ::
...
The trip to Walan left me with a cold, to drive the backwoods and then to be struck
down by a virus - sneezing - coughing - germ.....all to much for my fragile mind.
IHUG finally caught me at Fluxus HQ - still it took them 2 years. I must be more
secretive.....looking at a 5 year discovery rate as optimum.
:: Peter . 3:36 PM [+] ::
...
It was during the time of Prince Fredriech that the Fluxus custom of "Schmuckfliese" became popular.
The simple art of giving - and of course the act of applying the Fluxus rules to the gift - meant that a
"Schmuckfliese" had to met all the criteria set by the Prince. These standards have been kept to this day,
always given in sets of 3 to create a powerfull link.

each "Schmuckfliese" celebrates the hard work done by Freidrich in maintaining the movements inertia.

:: Peter . 3:32 PM [+] ::
...

::
Luckily, Prince Fredriech, the bastard son of the Baron and Madame Rattshaft was able to
assume leadership of the movement during his mothers grief and fits of laughter.
The lad, who had shown some artistic merit in kindergarten soon saw that Fluxus had an important role
in the visual world of objects and performances. He himself stopped making formal art at the age of 6 years
and devoted himself to developing the movement as an attitude rather than dogma driven.
Word soon spread of the movement as viewers were perplexed by the total
lack of skill,ideas and purpose in the exhibited work around the village
and in surrounding fields.
Of course the authorities becam alarmed at the thought of "inactivity" and "boredom"
as pursuits to applauded.....sure enough the evil hand of censorship was to drive Fluxus underground
where it has remained to this very day. Better to have framed Crap than a casul hint, or side glance.
The movement was to remain secretive and "beneath the radar" until late in the 20th Century.

We owe much to the work ethic of Prince Fredreich -
and his edict that if you make a mistake in typing - leave it - and enjoy the
difference and "freshness" of the letters reborn on a random line of text. .
:: Peter . 9:15 AM [+] ::
...

::
Then after a brief cold the Baron passed away.........with him the drive and vision so necessary in
creating a "movement"........but sure enough.....Madame Rattshaft free of the nunnery took on the task
of holding the next meeting and publicity as well.......small pieces of parchement were soon posted on
village walls.....all with the same message.....
"....Fluxus will free you..."
Word spread......
:: Peter . 11:41 PM [+] ::
...
The story so far:
Baron Heidrich's Fluxus movement soon gained numbers amongst the bored middle class - most of the
workers were far to busy to be bored - or have time to muse about it.....thinkinging
of tenets of belief was even more difficult.....the thos huge illuminated manuscripts were so distracting
to write/draw/gild into........so he tried scraps of parchements.....then a tailor sugeested writing everything in
chalk....it's there but fades quickly....can be accidently deleted with a wipe of a sleeve.....
perfect for perserving the minutes of the first Fluxus meeting............however sarting the meeting was very difficult
no one could be bothered at all.........no one wanted to record...just wanted the time to pass.....fair enough
said the Baron....the first meeting soon sank to a astounding success
:: Peter . 11:37 PM [+] ::
...
::
I have decided to write a history of Fluxus - from its early days in Lower Bohemai to its
amazing decline in the 1970's and rapid rise back in the 1980's to its cathartic state in
the beginning of the new Millenium.

It all began with Baron Heidrich of lower Saxony/Fluxhagen - rich nobleman - bright - personable - with a large estate
who woke up one morning and looking out the castle window said to his courtesan Madame Rattshaft,
'God i am bored!!'....she replied WTF....and was immediately dispatched to a nunnery.
Heidrich thought and thought....finally saying " I can't be the only bored thinking adult?".....nad decided to call a meeting
that very day....All who are bored to attend under pain of death and tortue.
Well, the first Fluxus meeting was an astounding success, tales of boredom bebounded off the castle walls.
Heidrichthought!.... I thinks I have a movement here!......but how to organise - be successfull....yet maintain the boredom
which inturn heightens the reality of the everyday??.......tricky
