Grey Art Gallery

This Gallery (which was free) took me a while to warm up to.  The Galley featured "Fluxus," a movement in the 1960s that defied traditional approaches for more "do-it-yourself."  Some art was extremely funny, possibly the wittiest art I've ever seen.




A "Box of Smile" by Yoko Ono

George Maciunas, Excreta Fluxorum
In this, multiple feces are labeled, including a white marble.....marked "Unicorn"

"Gift Box for John Cage: Spell Your Name With These Objects" by George Maciunas contains fifteen items, ranging from an egg to plastic boxes of seeds


I really recommend challenging the way you think and going to the Grey Art Gallery to scratch your head.  For more information, visit http://www.nyu.edu/greyart/
