I was in Vienna a few summers ago and saw a huge Fluxus exhibition at the Vienna Modern Art Museum. As I walked into this massive room full of oddly-familiar art, my first thought was that it reminded me of the current DIY/mail art/indie art movements and aesthetics. This post really fleshed out the link between Fluxus and the present, thanks! This was really interesting!

Thanks for your post. I really love the idea of the 'fluxkit'. Something about it makes me think of Fukubukuro bags - but of course these are more commercial than artistic.Thanks also for the link about Yoko Ono's work. Considering the insane amount of information I know about John Lennon, I know surprisingly little about Yoko. I enjoyed the article immensely. Excellent! Thanks for your post.

Most of us will never be famous artists or live glamorous lives doing our craft-of-choice. But I think that there is a little art in everyone and a little art in everything we do. We just have to learn to recognize and celebrate those random moments as the art they are. Your post really struck a cord with me.
