Abstract
The Larry Miller Fluxus Collection contains photographs and ephemera related to Flux-Tours conducted by Larry Miller.
Biographical Note
Larry Miller has been associated with the Fluxus school since the 1970s. One of his significant contributions to the scene was the "Flux-Tour", a performance model whereby artists and performers led alternative gallery and museum tours. Rather than discuss or interpret any artworks on display, the guides turned their attention to the spaces themselves, examining in minute detail such subjects as the lighting, floors, and other structural elements to which their attention was drawn.
In 2011, Miller performed a Flux-Tour at the Grey Gallery, in conjunction with its exhibitions, Fluxus and the Essential Questions of Life and Fluxus at NYU: Before and Beyond. The exhibitions featured documentation from prior Flux-Tours, dating back to 1976.
