George Maciunas (1931-1978) was a founding member and the central coordinator of Fluxus, a loose community of international artists, poets, architects, composers, and designers, who linked art to life. Maciunas came up with the word Fluxus to suggest “flow” and “effluent” and to describe a wide range of activities, which included scores or instructions; multiples; and concerts, performances, and “Happenings” that were often themselves in a state of flux. All with the idea of emphasizing artistic process over the finished product.
