- Description
- Following the idea of the 'Fluxkit' that George Maciunas conceived in 1964, Fluxus artists produced multiple editions of kits encompassing a selection of miscellaneous objects and paper as graphic scores for the user to read or manipulate, as with interactive games. The kits were packed together in a small attaché case for sale, which was first advertised in the fourth Fluxus newspaper, FLuxus cc fiVe ThReE that also contained Nam June Paik’s essay, Afterlude to the Exposition of Experimental Television (1964).
This Fluxkit is Benjamin Patterson’s Instruction No. 2, with soap and paper towels rubber-stamped with the instruction “Please wash your face.” The actual performance was held in New York in 2011; the audience came to the stage or the bathroom to wash their face, followed by a moderated discussion with Patterson regarding the question, “How is washing your face in public a work of art?”
