Is Michael Daines' work "fluxist"?  I have nothing against MD but it doesn't seem to me to be that fluxist.  MD, are you onlist?  How do you situate your work vis-a-vis Fluxus, Maciunas, or even Warhol for that matter?  Not to mention the "democratization" that the intro essay says multiples give (sorry if that's not you Mandiberg who actually wrote it, no negativity either way)?

Don't say you won't comment just because of the show.  

Say it ain't so,
