The last gasp of the avant-garde or the crowning achievement of the avant-bard?

just some dope with an eye for publicity and nothing original -- not even metasyntactic structure.

I think I've seen this show! It's that one set in Tokyo, in like 2345? And there are all these giant robots and monsters and stuff, yeah?

Aren't those the only sorts of show you watch, jel?

Well, according to Stewart Home, it was an (art) movement that began in Portland, OR in the '80s, as an offshoot of the mail art movement, then migrated to Montreal, then England. It has ties to: futurism, dadaism, situationism and fluxus. If you read his Slow Death, it's all about neoism. I think it's anti-gallerist, and possibly also anti-art; very pro publicity and happenings. Pro-plagiarism and anyone and everyone in the movement can take the name of Luther Blissett.

Luther Blissit is cool, he used to play for Watford. I read that there is lots of Luther Blisset graffitti in Italy.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 10 January 2003 18:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Luther Blissett, I mean.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 10 January 2003 18:06 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, a lot of the Luther Blissett(sp) stuff was adopted in Italy.
