Bob Watts | Light Flux Kit











Bob Watts
Light Flux Kit
New York City, USA: Fluxus, 1973
33 x 21.8 x 9 cm
Edition size unknown


A George Maciunas designed label on Canal Street compartmentalized box containing “peculiar light bulbs, chemical light, optics, etc.” As with most Fluxus editions, the contents varied. 

Maciunas described this work in a letter to collector Hans Sohm in 1972 as “very nice item, but not cheap” and gave the price as $60.00. A year later it was listed in Fluxus newsletters as $100. Subsequently it has become one of the rarer Flux Kits. 

The copy in the MoMA is a unique prototype, with a wooden box (see below). There was also a version that could be plugged in and used as a lamp. Lastly, the 'participation' version for the 1977 Seattle Fluxfest.
