1931 Lithuania – 1978 USA
Flux Paper Events (1976)

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Maciunas experimented with manipulating 16 differently worked papers.
Pages have been destructively altered – torn, cut, folded, punched, crumpled, stapled, glued, dog-eared, perforated and smeared with unknown substances – to record the sheer physicality of the artist’s actions and to emphasize the potential for sensory awareness even within the reading of a book. 21 x 15cm. Edition of 500.
3rd booklet from Edition Hundertmark.
