DISSING FLUXUS
Back in March, we took notice of the Dieter Roth retrospective at New York's Museum of Modern Art. ArtsJournal colleague John Perreault recently reviewed it and quoted Roth dissing the Fluxus group with which he was associated:
In fact, Roth hated Fluxus: "It was the club of the untalented who made a verbal virtue of their lack of talent so that nobody could say they had no talent," he told an interviewer. "The modesty that they ascribed to themselves was actually a good insight in that sense. Because they had to be modest because they were so incapable."
Ain't that priceless?
