The art movement "Fluxus" is the subject of an exhibit here this month. It seems to me that this movement, which mainly dates from around 50 years ago, owes a lot to Marcel Duchamp. For one thing -- the use of boxes of chosen objects to illustrate a point, often an obscure point. Also the use of "ready-mades" or found objects. As I have said, Marcel Duchamp is a favorite of mine, so I enjoyed this exhibit of his followers, and appreciate that some like Claes Oldenbourg and Daniel Spoerri produced work outside the confines of Fluxus.
