The winning bidder will receive the legendary pair of stretchy pants, significant in the history of Fluxus, Happenings, Vienna Actionism, Performance Art, Conceptual Art and the New York Correspondence School. The stretchy pants first appeared in Yoko Ono’s "Cut Piece" at Carnegie Hall, in New York, in 1965. Gradually revealed as audience members scissored Ono’s clothing, the stretchy pants were all that shielded Ono from the prying eyes of the spectators. The undergarment made its next documented appearance during the "Street Cleaning Event" performance by Hi Red Center, June 1966 at Grand Army Plaza (58th Street and 5th Avenue), New York City. Allegedly, struggles between the members over who would wear the stretchy pants upset group notions of collaborative collectivism and led to the demise of the collective. Next, the pants figure prominently in VALIE EXPORT’s 1976 "Abrundung" as she used her body to understand and complement the architectural environment around her. In 1977-78, George Maciunas honored the stretchy pants by producing the stamps, "Fluxpost (Stretchy Pants)." Following this publication, the stretchy pants disappeared from public view for nearly three decades. In December, 2006, an enigmatic reference to the pants appeared in the members’ questions section of conceptual artist Stefano Pasquini’s (www.stefpasquini.com) eBay listing, “Ebayaday Original Fluxus art in the post Stolen Ebayday.” Conceptual artist Robin Kahn -- feminist provocateuse, public artist (www.copilandia.org), editor of anti-copyright artist anthologies (www.creativetime.org/archive), curator of radical art exhibitions, and self-published author (www.printedmatter.org) – inquired about the stretchy pants, only to be told that they had been sold. Six months later, the stretchy pants arrived as the final installment of six months of surprise correspondence artworks sent to eBayaday winner Rebekah Modrak. The silver-pink pants, still stretchy, retain the famed inscription “TAKE ME”, as well as the unexplained pink stain. The winning bidder will receive this renowned pair of pants along with all four of the prominent photographs that appear in this listing.
