Robert Filliou | Fluxdust














Robert Filliou
Fluxdust
New York City, USA: Fluxus, c1966/67
12 × 10 × 1.7 cm.
Edition size unknown


A plastic box with a label designed by George Maciunas containing collected dust and floor sweepings, which was originally offered for $3.00 individually, and as part of the larger collective Fluxkit.

In a 1984 interview Filliou recounted the origins of the edition as likely being a conversation over a beer with George Maciunas when the pair met during the Festival of Misfits. The artist said he then promptly forgot about it entirely, until receiving a Fluxus newspaper advertising his edition. 

A companion piece, Fluxhair, was produced at the same time with a near identical label (see next post). Despite Filliou's importance to Fluxus (and his interest in boxed editions), these two near-identical works appear to be the only multiples by him published by Fluxus. Some others reached the prototype stage - and there is a label design for something called The Obvious Deck - but none of them were produced or distributed via Fluxus.
