Read­ing the flux dia­log on the fluxus idea on the MoMA web­site. Herein are a few of the words they speak on George Maci­u­nas and Fluxus. In an all-​illuminating con­ver­sa­tion with FB friend Bil­lie and other Fluxus Folks, it’s all becom­ing clear to me.

MoMA’s col­lec­tion details on FLUXUS says:

Per­haps most impor­tant of all of Maciunas’s pub­lish­ing activ­i­ties remain the object mul­ti­ples, con­ceived as inex­pen­sive, mass-​produced unlim­ited edi­tions. These were either works made by indi­vid­ual Fluxus artists, some­times in col­lab­o­ra­tion with Maci­u­nas, or, most con­tro­ver­sially, Maciunas’s own inter­pre­ta­tions of an artist’s con­cept or score. Their pur­pose was to erode the cul­tural sta­tus of art and to help to elim­i­nate the artist’s ego.
