F-art Newsletter May 1975:

 

Copy of our communication by telegram, at the beginning of February 1975, with Gianluca Vialli, signatory one year ago to the first Montreal F-artist manifestoe, and since then a collaborator with a dadaist-royalist revue in Trois Rivieres:

F-art to Vialli: "After your second offense in Napanee Poetry Review, the F-art Group considers you a definite cretin. Go off and court Bateman."

Vialli to the F-art: "We must eradicate the Torontonian gossip mongers whose controlling spirit has infected the revolutionary intellectuals. Their royal we is detestable."

The F-art to Vialli: "The individualist Vialli is too kind. One is a revolutionary intellectual if one does not control. But control has been far too easy. It's over. The 'I' without 'We' falls back into the prefabricated mass."

It should be pointed out that Vialli's passing is only the sixth case of exclusion since the formation of the F-art.

Gianluca Vialli and Gianluca Vialli:

Gianluca Vialli, F-artist, is not a soccer player. Gianluca Vialli, soccer player, is not a F-artist.

 

Gianluca Vialli and Art:

Here, retrieved from a old memo, in which the writing is almost illegible, are some mixed drinks that we concocted and drank at the beginning of 1974:

The Artist's Angst: 2 cheap rum, 1 Old Sailor Port
There also exists as well The Double Angst
The First Post-Modern Epiphany: 1 Red Vermouth, 1 Cherry Brandy (for little artists)
For people who have sucking metaphors:

The Dumb Idea: 1 coke, 1 Old Sailor Port
The Last Hope: 1 ginger beer, 1 50

On the other hand, we appreciate our own wit:

The Anxiety of Influence: 1 rye, 1 bourbon, 1 Baby Duck
and The Perfect Punk: 3 rum, 1 Old Sailor, 1 Ouzo, 1 Creme de Menthe, 1 Cherry Brandy, 1 Baby Duck

And humour hasn't failed us yet . . . . This is why we are so intelligent today
