Just an information given to all participants of the mail art project Mailartissimo, curated by Tricia Burr, last year. A catalogue was produced, but not sent out to the participants yet as far as I know, the show has already ended in January. I asked the museum now several times to get a copy of it because they used my mail art for the cover and did not ask me before, but I did not get any reply from the museum. Maybe every participant should ask as well. Try it out whether the museum is really a Museum of communication.

arriving mail art multiple "ashes of fluxsox" from Keith A. Buchholz (USA)






arriving mail art multiple "ashes of fluxsox" from Keith A. Buchholz (USA) - a next step of the conceptual fluxus art by Keith Buchholz; once he has sent me some old dirty socks, which I burned down in a fluxus performance (which you can see at http://fluxlisteurope.blogspot.com/) and sent him parts of the socks and the ash back. (see here: http://socks-stockings.blogspot.com/search?q=keith+buchholz) And now he used these rests of the ashes to send me this funny multiple, inside a kind of a black coffin you can see a little silver urn with a tiny little bit of the fired sock. One out of 3 multiples - one he has sent as well to Ruud Janssen (Netherlands). Mine was opend by the custum office at Frankfurt a. Main, they probably opened as well the little urn to look inside. Thank you very much. I think I have to create now a memorial or a grave yard for the ash of fluxsox.
