other uses of seances


Was looking at what other creative types have done with the Seance format - there was a series of musical events in the format of Seances see-

and for a review which is interesting in how they describe the use of seance elements (lighthearted but still a little serious) see-

Also, this curator called Raimundas Malasauskas had a seance type session in 2002 where he "interviewed" the late George Maciunas (founder of Fluxus) with the help of a medium - he got questions from people like Yoko Ono to ask him - doesn't seem to be a website but there is a book "Looking for Mr. Fluxus".

Also, a recent event called Seance for Nam June Paik see picture above and see-

So we're very contemporary with our format I think.

See you all tomorrow,

By the way how do you include a working link? I have used the link icon but it's just not working for me - sigh, I am just jinked with these blogs.
