<p>Stewart Home confirms today that's his art strike piece from "Scrap" all that time ago. You can't beat the internet for that kind of communication.</p>

Mine is pretty modest, mostly zines. The Steve Perkins piece appreared in "MaLLife," a zine put out by Mike Miskowski at Bomb Shelter Propaganda.

<p>The Art Strike that Mark Bloch references was a huge effort, as I recall. Here is a piece from a zine called "Scrap" (1988) by an Australia (in USA at the time) named Chris Winkler. Pete Spence knows him.</p>
<p>Now this art strike material (below) is attributed to Karen Eliot with a London address. So I assume that is Stewart Home. He did a lot to organize the strike.</p>

<p>Thanks, Res.</p>
<p>And Richard - being so close to Rochester, NY as I am, at least former headquarters of Kodak and Xerox, I've always been interested in the history of the image machines. (You mentioned Carlson.)</p>

<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/51145261?profile=original" target="_self"></a>Thanks, Richard. Yes, I find Mark Bloch's writing is incredibly helpful with all varieties of current research. He is one of my blind spots, in that I know the name but wasn't very aware of him "back in the day" or the "first time around." That's my failing, not his. His disagreements w/mail artists and networkers over the use of the Fluxus name seem to be attracting a lot of attention.…</p>

His disagreements w/mail artists and networkers over the use of the Fluxus name seem to be attracting a lot of attention. I never doubt his knowledge, experience and contributions, even if I don't entirely agree with his positions. He was very generous to send these pieces.</p>
<p>And you raise another great point, Richard. I believe eventually copy art will be far more recognized than it is. Or at least it should be, IMHO. An incredible body of copy art from, especially, the 80s and 90s (largely thanks to the m-a network) is out there. I hope it will be gathered, studied and displayed.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Here, for instance, is a piece I have by Steve Perkins (aka Janet Janet) who edited a zine in San Francisco during the 80s, Box of Water. Some might remember.</p>

<p>14.07.15 Dare De Villo S., That Mark B. Chester Carlson piece is a fine example of VisPo ....what I would even attempt to label as "Concrete Poetry" (It is what it sez it is). I remember my first exposure to a xerox machine at the college library back in the early 60's. It was almost as much fun as learning to ride bicycle had been a few several years earlier. Mark Bloch is a important figure in Mail Art & I remember reading somewhere he even had the insight to record Ray Johnson…</p>

<p>Thx RES and others who seem to be finding this blog useful.</p>
<p>The panmodern link I used doesn't really connect much of any place. So I added a link (above) to the panmodern Ray Johnson material. Here is one of the Neoism links:</p>

<p>These give you a better sense of all the archival material available @ panmo.</p>
