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.

- Wow! Some of those ye olde pics from yesteryear jogged the memory. I read that 'most radical art school in Europe at the time' quote too ... I've always thought of it more as David Hockney said something like 'the place where they make little boxes...that don't work' :)

- Hmmm sounds a bit similar. When I was at Winchester (where it was all man's man's big splashy post abstract-expresssionism) I was advised 'try Leeds ... they like quirky stuff up there'. So that was that. I remember the story going around about our intake at Leeds was that at the interview they chucked a football ....and if you headed it back, you were in

- yes Ron, a poem-pillow would be very nice, also a musical object, I have done mostly books (about 30 with my inprint AAA Editions) and cds (9 album with my band Forbici di Manitù), so I can send something of that in exchange, my address is Vittore Baroni, Via C. Battisti 339, 55049 Viareggio, Italy
nice to see also Paul Carter in your fluxpage, just an hour ago Nigel Ayers of Nocturnal Emissions ringed my bell and "popped in", maybe it's a good time for reunions of old pen pals...

- And it's nice to see Vittore (looking a bit stern) just below me here too.
Anyway, full props for the Latham sand redistribution - but did you really spin Duchamp's bicycle wheel? I would have thought pissing in the fountain might have sufficed.

- The unrinal was not there, and yes i did spin it, Tony Bradley was a witness.Perhaps fluxus membership could entail going to galleries and spinning the wheel, or adding your own artwork, or putting weird stuff for sale in the gallery shop, or replacing information posters or artwork information with other stuff, etc......
I also like to touch artworks, like Constable's Haywain, or Picasso's Guernica. and put my stickers around (please do not urinate on the floor, advertising numbs us, etc etc) ron
