About this Item
Suitcase filled with Fluxus objects. Suitcase measures approximately 17½" x 12½" x 3½". Suitcase with two tiny scuffs and one approximately ¾" x 1½" abraded spot on the lower panel, a couple of the paper items a trifle worn and Berner's "Cosmic Inventory Kit" appears to have some dampstaining on the cover label that has made the ink run (which we originally took for intentional), overall near fine although lacking a couple of small items. Copy number 100 of 100 copies issued of the first edition. Signed several times by Jeff Berner at his piece. An artifact from the 1993 Walker Art Center exhibit "In the Spirit of Fluxus," charming in the way only a piece of Fluxus art can be. Inside the suitcase (protected by two combination locks with two small sheets showing how to set them) are an exhibition catalog (quarto, 191pp., fine in fine dust jacket); a large folded exhibition poster; Yoko Ono's "Frame Enlargement"; two buttons ("Art is easy" and "Art you can lick"); an exhibition calendar of events (possibly not native to the piece) and Walker Art Center pencil; two postcards featuring Fluxus "chairman" Goerge Maciunas; Larry Miller's "Do it Yourself Excellent 1992 Fluxbox"; Jeff Berner's "Cosmic Inventory Kit" (with several pieces inside Signed by him); FluxTellus, Tellus #24 (a cassette still in its shrinkwrapping); Fluxus stamps by R. Watts; a Fluxus stamp; Picnic Garbage Placemats by Geoffrey Hendricks; and an XL Ben Vautier t-shirt ("I don't want to do art I want to be happy").Missing a couple of small items: G. Brecht's "Drip Music"; "Solo for Violin"; the cards that match the two buttons present, as well as the button and card that say "Demolish Serious Culture"; M. Shiomi's "Water Music"; and possibly an exhibition flyer. Missing a couple of small pieces but still a charmer. Seller Inventory # 538752
