I just feel the 'you have to see it' thing can be applied to many things. One could argue that you can't fully appreciate an album without seeing it live. The problem with this arguement is that it prevents any interlectual discussion of art. We are not always able to see these things in presence so to speak. Most of us wouldn't have be able to witness a Beatles concert. On the otherhand I don't wish to sound like im dismissing the 'experience' of art either. But I think its fair for me to hold opinions of certain elements of Rothko's work that I can see with my eyes. I have seen work by simular artists and it hasn't changed my opinion on them. Thats not to say either that at any given chance I wouldn't wnat to see Rothko in the flesh. Put plainly Rothko as far as I can judge is not my thing.

I dont know a great deal about fluxus. Except the obvious artists that most people would know about. I've started reading a book on it at the moment as it happens. I'm not really a huge believer in its principles. But its certainly interesting.
