I don’t know what your thinking, hopefully it’s about Alison Knowles and her “Identical Lunch” Scores. MOMA has invited Knowles to revive her original Lunch Scores in the museum’s “Café 2” here is a great article about what went down Also at MOMA, Interactive Fluxus-Station Don’t be alarmed if you hear an echoed scream bouncing off the walls of MOMA in the coming weeks.

24 hour video Premier, The Clock Christian Marclay, is a pioneer in experimental sound collage. Before “scratching records” was a mainstream term, Marclay was cutting up vinyl records like pies, mixing up the pieces and gluing them back together to see what it would sound like. Since then, Marclay has perfected an art of sound and video collage, focusing on the unintentional sounds created by chance. His newest piece, The Clock, premiered at the Paula Cooper Gallery in NYC on January 21 but will continue screening until February 19, 2011. Here is a mini-documentary on Christian Marclay

A Birthday Celebration in the Name of Art Stefanie Wuschitz documented her collaborative celebration held at the MQ (Vienna), a fantastically giant complex devoted to the contemporary arts.

Fluxus Facebook What does fluxus have today that it didn’t have in the 60’s? web-based social networking! Here are 2 good sites I have found for all your needs of fluxus self promotion Open Fluxus: a social sharing site devoted to Fluxus artists. I just joined and still testing the waters out a bit. So far I have joined 2 groups, “Fluxkits” and “Ray Johnson is Still Alive”. Unlike facebook, I don’t think I will feel obligated to befriend the many acquaintances I have made in this life journey, only to block their mundane status updates. Instead I am befriending perfect strangers because I actually want to know what they have to say. and… International Union of Mail-Artists! IUOMA provides a platform for mail-artists to connect, share, and stay up to date with exhibitions. This is the site to join if you want to expand your snail mail exchanges internationally. They also have a nifty gift shop. FYI there is an IUOMA group in Open Fluxus
