Opus 15 ERIC ANDERSEN

scribed in Newsletters 6 & 7- maybe others will come up with constructive and realistic proposals on promotional activities rather than criticisms. If we can't promote we can't give Fluxus in N. Y. That's a problem that must d. It will draw fewer people than Paris did. That's a problem that must be resolved really before I go to N. Y. because I would still be able to cancel the trip and $. GM: ... In 1962, I went to Europe and the plan was to continue ... Oh, before I went to Europe we published or at least we put together La Monte Young's An Anthology, you know, the red book. LM: I have that. GM:

We couldn't include everything that we had collected, all the materials we had collected by then, like I tdidn't have Bob Watts and you know had very few things by George Brecht and I would go ahead and make another publication with all the pieces that were not included in An Anthology. More or less newer pieces. But La Monte wasn't interested in doing a second anthology book. So the initial plan

r culture and its institutions, as well as Europeanism. It is also opposed to artistic professionalism and art as a commercial object or means to a personal income, it is opposed to anyform of art that promotes the artist's rejects opera and theater (Kaprow, Stockhausen etc., which represent the institutionalizing of serious art, and is for, instead of opera and theater, vaudeville or the circus, which represents a more popular art form or totally musement (which have been considered false by "cultivated" intellectuals). Hence Fluxus concerts tend to be vaudevillian or many times satires Of serious concerts. They are certainly not "great operas, "which once in a explained reasons, are called "happenings"- if you look in the dictionary you will see that a happening is anything but a rehearsed and staged piece of theater or opera. We don't want to . call ourpieces "happenings"; they ly not rehearsed or staged, so they become more unpredictable. You can formulate this however you like. But let me see
