ReSite – Manual of Scores,
Manifestos & Radical Actions
“Do you want to be on the boat, or do you want to be
left on the dock?” This is a question asked by Allan Revich’s manifesto to
launch the ‘Fluxboat’ for the 21st Century. Field Study is on the
boat along with its supply of Retail Cargo Cult stickers.
ReSite no.4, vol 2 brings you the AEIOU Manifesto,
instruction to create Total Books, The Should Manifesto and further post cards
from Orwellian Britain by Simon Warren. This issue also introduces the iconoclastic
work of Otto David Sherman, whose satirical stamps are included, note one on
me!
ReSite is an assembling publication where pages have an
element of audience participation or interaction. ReSite
is part of the tradition of Fluxus editions where anyone can perform an action
or score. In addition to this performance-based approach, ReSite taps into the
rich tradition of the avant-garde with contributions of manifestos and
documentation of art actions.
ReSite encourages
participation by writers and musicians to produce visual scores and manifestos
as well as continuing the call for contributions by conceptual artists. Please
pass on the word to anyone who would like to be in future issues.
