- 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 kit is Ben Vautier’s Living Fluxsculpture. An image of a caged monkey looking out is attached to the lid of the plastic box. The box was supposed to contain dead insects, yet it is empty. In an essay about his French friends, Nam June Paik commented that although he was unsure whether a figure like Beethoven was in Fluxus, yet he was confident that there was a figure like Schubert. It was Vautier, and Paik mentioned his frank and innocent character. Vautier was also one of the artists who participated in Paik’s Good Morning Mr. Orwell (1984).
