born 1953. Been working within dada/Fluxus/conceptual art/surrealism framework since 1972. Biggest early inspiration: Yoko Ono. Much performance and Fluxus-related work at Leeds Polytechnic 1973-76 . See website for an informal archive of projects, objects and ephemera. ...... soundwork at: Acidplanet.com>ron crowcroft, photography at: jpgmag.com. Ron crowcroft. Two CDs self-released FLUX and REFLUX. Shows and events on the fringe over the years. Mail art in late 70s. DIY cassette music scene England 1979-82. Contact me. I'm looking for collaborations or opportunities for performance, interactions, improvised soundwork, and other ways to disorient myself and others, and interrupt our lives with superficial thoughtfulness. The OPENFLUXUS site has pictures of artwork, photographs, and some of my soundwork pieces.
I would like to inform you about my new mail art call: Otto von Bismarck.

Hi Ron, just to let you know that I'm going to use your 'orient' Son as the starting point for a new Consemble to be launched later this year (called, I think, 'orient: occidental/accidental').
I keep thinking about those shoes in your washing machine - any chance I could have a short (30sec) recording to use in Consemble F?
I would like to inform you that your mail art about Andreas Hofer has been published now in one of my article about this theme. Unfortunately only in german and italian. But if you like I can send you the pdf file. Need your email address.
It has been published here:

Hey Ron,
Found this for you in a government building in Guadalajara Mexico last week...thought you might like it. Couldn't get it any straighter, sorry.
Regards,
Peter
That's great Ron. In light of what you said, I'm planning to use one of your sounds ('orient') in Consemble G and will let you know when I have updated.
I find your photos really intriguing and appreciate your wit.
more soon,
Paul
Hello Ron,
I'm running a sound art project called Consemble and wondered if you would like to take part. The idea is for a disparate group of people to 'build' some online, indeterminate compositions. It's open to all ages, musicians and non musicians etc. If you'd like to know more (and hear some music/sound works) please visit: www.chameleonlectra.co.uk/Consemble.html
all the best,
Paul

Here is the info-
The map for the June 6th parade is online at
http://www.daydedada.com/schedule.htm
We start at the Staten Island Museum at 2:00 on Sat. June 6th.
The title of the parade is "Dada Shop -o- Rama" The theme is "Art and Money" - keep that in mind when you plan (or don't plan) your performance.
This parade is part of the annual "Art by the Ferry" a multi day arts festival. See more at http://artbytheferry.org/Welcome.html
We are expecting a big turnout since we'll have people from the festival and our own audience.

Shoes in a washing machine sounds like a good sound!!
Just wondering if you have been able to gather sounds for Consemble yet?
Perhaps Consemble F -but it's entirely up to you of course.
Understand if you're busy.
best,
Paul
