flux film fest at anthology film archives, nyc, feb. 17-19
Info from luke kurtis, the AFA press release: "In looking back at 35 years of history, Anthology cannot forget our roots in the Fluxus art movement of the 1960s. Fluxus founder George Maciunas was behind the scenes at Anthology providing graphic design and even physical space for us at 80 Wooster Street in one of his cooperatives before our eventual move to 2nd Ave in the late 80s. Fluxus performances were commonplace at Anthology in the 1970s and those seriously fun interdisciplinary events still inform our programming and conception of Anthology today and into the future. We planned this series months ago, but have since shifted the focus of the last program to be a Memorial tribute to Nam June Paik, who passed away last month, on January 29, 2006.

yoko ono's peace obelisk to reykjavik, iceland
Iceland Review (February 2006): "Yoko Ono, widow of John Lennon, will arrive in Reykjavík on the 25th of February for Reykjavík's winter festival to discuss a peace column, an art work that she is presenting to Reykjavík. The column, 10 to 15 meters long, is an illuminated column of glass, full of wishes of peace from people all over the world. On the outside there are two engraved lines of poetry. One of the passages, "A dream you dream together is reality", is written by Yoko Ono herself, the other, "Imagine all the people, living life in peace" is from John Lennon's song Imagine. The passages will be translated into numerous languages."
