FLUXUS CANNOT BY DEFINITION EVER BE dead! where did that idea come from ? do you mean as an art movement ? absoloutly never. Yes very many more artists are focusing on product over process thats how things are these days but anyone espousing process over product and who is present in the moment and whose work is that moment and not just stuff made to exhibitand sell is part of fluxus.
IThe bands and music heads that are talked of here were exciting ,in their unpredictability and spontaneity in the fluxus spirit.
I guess there was that unrehearsed ethos about them I dont think they thought of themselves as 'happenings" for example but they were in many ways but not your |pure " fluxus " but maybe more than I am giving them credit for here. A lot depends on the way they worked /made stuff . Whad ya tink?

> Isn't that just a little bit mean spirited?

It is sarcastic, maybe even morbid, but it's not meant as a threat.

It's my response to any declarations of "the death" of any cultural movement, as well as a statement of everyone's mortality (including my own.)
