The use of the silver spoons for the FluxNexus symbolize the fact that the present generation of artists, non-artists and anti-artists have been raised in the lap of artistic wealth. An inherited wealth of new ideas, new processes, new strategies and a new context in which to explore the worlds both within and without. We recognize that we are indebted to our historical roots and we celebrate them. However we are perfectly free to do as we wish with the wealth we have aquired from our predecessors and give new shape and expression to the traditions we happily take up. I have heard it said that fluxus is a tree that was planted 40 years ago and that it has produced its fruit and now it is over. But like all short sighted people, there is the problem that trees live for generations and if well tended, for thousands of years. There is also the problem that what might be fruit to the historian is seed to the artist. The seeds of one tree can plant a whole forest. Fluxus artists will be dancing on the graves of the historians who say it is dead and there can be no more fluxus. Fluxus is dead. Long live Fluxus.
