The FLUXUS movement is difficult. It's undisscussable. I say this because it walks such a fine line between art and life that merely talking about a particular piece will push it to one side or the other. I think it might just be impossible to talk statically about a piece and not prescribe it as either a work of art or an act of life. You may do this either directly or indirectly, therefore I find the FLUXUS performances to be extremely temporal. As soon as you have an idea of what it is to be FLUXUS you're already on the wrong track. I love this maddening state of confusion that this movement calls for. Even to call it a movement seems like a poor fit, for such a fleeting idea that exists only between the spans of half seconds where you're mind can rationalize, fleetingly, what it means, is more a miracle than anything else.
