Publisher's Synopsis
The Fluxus founder's definitive mapping of the origins and tributaries of the 1960s avant-garde movement
Fluxus founder George Maciunas (1931-78) first published his poster Diagram of Historical Development of Fluxus and Other 4 Dimentional, Aural, Optic, Olfactory, Epithelial and Tactile Art Forms in the Swedish magazine Kalejdoskop (issue three) in 1979. This issue of the magazine consisted of three accounts of Fluxus, one being Maciunas' historical diagram and the others being two essays by Mats B. (one in English and one in Swedish) on the poster's sleeve summarizing the movement. Primary Information's new facsimile edition recreates all three as they originally appeared in 1979, housed in a printed card sleeve in a polybag. Unfolded, the poster measures 17.5 x 47 inches.
