New York

I went to New York for the weekend, popped into the Guggenheim and MoMA, wandered around, all good for inspiration.

I was drawn by Fluxus and George Maciunas, he defined Fluxus products as work that would occur as a result of performance activities, or as elements of participation environments... I really felt this resonated with what I am trying to represent in the exhibition of my workshops.

I especially thought that the wardrobe idea, and filling the drawers with things to represent the different workshop exercises was reminiscent of his Fluxkits or Fluxus boxes, in which Maciunas collected printed cards, games, and ideas, these were all placed in small wooden boxes.  Examples below:
