This diagram of "Maciunas’s methodical mapping of the history of Fluxus, consist of labyrinthine historical flowcharts that substitute a timeline’s conventional horizontal axis with a splintered and networked vertical arrangement of names, artworks, performances, concepts, and places. Art-historical phenomena that have since been carved up and organized by historians according to movement, discipline, and social clique all commingle here with Maciunas’s idiosyncratic graphic vigor. These documents visualize a decisive rupture in the art-historical record and usher in a new way of understanding one’s work in relation to that of others and in the context of history."—https://walkerart.org/collections/publications/art-expanded/introduction/
