Géza Perneczky NETWORK ATLAS Works and Publications by the People of the First Network Volume 1: A - N A Historical Atlas for the Post-Fluxus Movements as Mail Art, Visual Poetry, Copy Art, Stamp Art & Other Relative Trends with Addresses, Projects, Publications & Exhibition Events (Unedited manuscript for letter size) * Update: April 2003. © Geza Perneczky Soft Geometry, Cologne It's very important for me to say that I consider my occupation as an artist as very small and insignificant but at the same time as one of great dignity. I mean the refusal to accept compromisses with power, no matter of what kind it is, and the rejection of the use of art and the artistic work as its instrument... Es muy importante para mí expresar que el ejercicio de mi profesión artística lo veo como una actividad muy modesta, pero con mucha dignidad a la vez. Me refiero a la actitud de rechazo de todo compromiso con el poder, cualquiera que sea, y de la utilización de la actividad creadore como instrumento de él... Es ist für mich sehr wichtig zu sagen, daß ich meine künstlerische Tätigkeit als sehr bescheiden betrachte, gleichzeitig aber als eine von großer Würde. Ich meine damit das Zurückweisen von Kompromissen mit der Macht, egal welcher Art sie ist, und das Zurückweisen der Benutzung der Kunst und der künstlerischen Tätigkeit als ihr Instrument...

I have know the good Doctor for nearly 20 years. I even testified as a character witt- ness at the trial. In the past several I have worked for him as a bodyguard when he has found it nessary to travel. Lectures, autograph parties, ect.

The Blaster (→ Ackerman) recently sent me a suitable annotated copy of the most recent issue of the Multiple Personality Disorder Journal. This is wild exaggeration. There is Edward R. Gonzo, the Slightly Warped journalist. There is also Ace The Postcard Pal, which was an accidental postle wraparound of the name of the shop I owned, The Postcard Palace. He is a collector of Kalkala and exaggeration postcards. Some names were given to me; Wingo Fruitpunch... Any Salyer gifted me with Rasta Bob Gnarly... Sidney Lurcher comes into play as the excruciatingly bad poet... Felino Zepellini was created for my Italian-American Correspondents... (Ruud → Janssen: Mail-Interview with Rudi → Rubberoid.
