George Maciunas | Name Cards








In addition to compiling, designing and publishing Fluxus 1, George Maciunas contributed a number of works to the anthology, including a series of name cards which were attached to the back page as an accordion fold. These cards - featuring Maciunas' trademark typographical play - served as a kind of index for the publication. 

These name card designs were then frequently repurposed as cover graphics for the artists' individual boxed works, such as Yoko Ono's Footstamps, Dick Higgins' Invocations of Canyons and BouldersTakehisa Kosugi's Events, Bob Watts' Events, Mieko Shiomi's Events and Games and virtually every iteration of AY-O's Fingerboxes.  

This will be the final post (of 23!) about Fluxus 1
