Call for Works

FLUXHIBITION #3
JULY, 2009
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fluxhibition #3 – Boxes, Cases, Kits and Containers

Dear Cecil,
Fluxhibition #2 was a great success thanks to all of the great contributions see the catalog at: http://fluxmuseum.org/
I had planned on Fluxhibition #3 being in 2010 HOWEVER a venue become available for this summer. There is a current Collage Museum call out for an exhibition entitled Thinking Inside of the Box – A Survey of Box Assemblage Art see: (http://collagemuseum.com/thinking-box-call-for-works.html) Deadline May 15th ( PARTICIPATE IN THIS ONE TOO!).

I thought that, since I was able to secure the university venue, it would be great to invite my fluxfriends to contribute a fluxbox for Fluxhibition #3 and later I will combine the two bodies of box works for an additional exhibit later in 2009 or in 2010. So your Fluxbox contribution will get at least double exposure.

SPREAD THE WORD

But the strange thing about the realization of existence is that like a train moving there is no real realization of it moving unless it moves against something.
