FLUXUS Game: Letters on Letters
Fluxus artists were not afraid to experiment and in their works they used different mediums and techniques. Letters that were written by George Maciunas and Fluxus performances texts I transformed into an object - a game. One part of this project are capital letters with text on them. These letters make a phrase ''FLUXUS IS NOT HERE''.
This phrase and font are inspired by John Lennon and Yoko Ono poster ''This is not here''. ''FLUXUS IS NOT HERE'' phrase shows that even though this object (or game) is inspired by Fluxus, it will never be a Fluxus artwork because this movement is already over and all the efforts to copy Fluxus will never make the artwork the same as the original ones.
This project became an installation in the exhibition.
George Maciunas letters (text) are put on the other side of the letters (objects). You can read all the text only if you put the phrase correctly (''FLUXUS IS NOT HERE'').
You can put the letters in a random order and read the text or you can roll a dice. On each wall of the cube there is a pocket with cards. On each card there is a letter from the phrase (''FLUXUS IS NOT HERE'') and on the other side of the card there is a description of a Fluxus performance.
The title of a performance starts from the same letter, which is written on the other side (L – Lemon, N – Nothing, etc.). When the dice is rolled, the card is taken out. This cube (or dice) can be used on its own - it can decide the order in which performance descriptions will be read or even performed!
Some moments from the reviews.
Another part of this project is a big cube with clear edges. This cube symbolizes a box with different sections that are made of thread.
