"The Glory of MinXus" - 1st MinXus Refrigerator Exhibition - Wakoshi, May 11th 2012

Le Manoir aux Visons is very happy to answer Dark wall's call for the first MinXus-LynXus performance score. The exhibition took place here in Wakoshi at the Manoir, May 11th 2012, 7.15pm-7.30pm local time and was a flying success. At least in my mind :-)) As a curator, I wanted to focus on classic pieces I consider essential in the evolution and history of MinXus. They will be presented in chronological order of reception.

1) Boy's day - from RCBz (November 2010)

Setting the standards of aesthetics, sleekness, the care for details, and the love of a dark twist.

2) Blisspo - from De Villo Sloan (January 2011)

Asemic writing and vispo as essential elements of MinXus art. And the highly symbolic feet, of course...

3) Le Saut dans le Vide - from Bifidus Jones (February 2011)

The leap in the void, fantastic card that really got holism to kick off.

4) Stations of the Cross, part 5, The Desolation Angel in the Ruined Theater of Fluxus - from Dark wall (March 2011)

Poetry through vispo epics, adventures in a world of fantasy (he won't like me saying this) and magic. Without Dark wall no Manoir aux Visons.

5) Let them eat biscuit - from Grigori Antonin (April 2011)

Marie-Antonette, let them eat aesthetics... MinXus would not be the same without Grigori.

6) Gerald - from Cheryl Penn (July 2011)

Gerald is a permanent member of the fridge collection. He has been sent to help me with chores like onion chopping and the such, and is doing a fab job.

7) What? Why? No! - from Svenja Wahl (August 2011)

The successful combination of text and photography/image in visual poetry.

8) That wooden doll - from Diane Keys (November 2011)

Coat and fur. MinXus and Trashpo can never be completey dissociated.

9) Ignore this, it's just a fridge magnet from Switzerland (2010 I think)

Don't get minks in your jammies, Marie. It went well. I have this camera issue...

cp-sa you better do one! any time! I'm starting to thinx that I'm a proper minx, yes. :-)

Gerald didn't find it appropriate to include one's own pieces. We had a long discussion. I said OK.

Marie - you're such a minx :-)))! This is um...  - I am ALMOST inspired to do one... Thank you for including me in the Core Founder category - along with, o, some of my favorites! And JUST by the way, Gerald asked where your piece is - bearing in mind you're the Empress? :-) X

Little red bag in the fridge! I missed that one! Thanx Alicia.

Dw, what are you talking about. Pieces arriving at the Manoir are treated with the uttermost care! Maybe you forgot what the Theater of Fluxus looked like before you sent it. Well, it looked exactly as it looks today = ruined. But not by any spill! I found it strange not to have news from the NY show. Was there even a NY show?

I will not release photos of the NY show until I receive reparations for the destruction of the Ruined Theater of Fluxus. The work was clearly ill-treated. It looks as if coffee has been spilled on it. I will protest to the Japanese government

Alicia Starr start did a Fridge Perf using the traveling red bag. This goes to M-L too.

It's a great card of yours, Svenja. My first one!

Comment by Svenja Wahl on May 12, 2012 at 6:02am

I'm feeling honored, Marie! Super-exhibition!

A realization of the cosmic meatwheel vision. A glimpse of the Mink Tangerine Oncoming
