SUMMARY

In the early 1960's, Lithuanian-born

George Maciunas set up in New York

the FLUXUS movement, a platform

that brought together many likeminded

artists. This is a global art

trend, which is based on experiment,

play, active interaction with the audience,

blurring of distinction between

everyday life and art. FLUXUS takes

the shape of performances and happenings,

installations and art objects,

on avantgarde venues and off-stage.

George Maciunas (Jurgis Mačiūnas)

has been the founder and father of

this movement. His works are exhibited

in the world is most famous art

museums. He made Lithuania history

of world art. Therefore, it is important

to mention and popularise

this artist in Lithuania as often as

possible.

Based on the book by Tomas Sakalauskas,

“Looking at the fire” (“Žiūrėjimas

į ugnį” 2002), a conceptual

biographical magazine was created.

It is aimed to visualize the creative

work and the heavy fate of the maestro.

The magazine is a print publication

that consists of 10 double page

spreads, each of which describes a

major event and theme from the artist's

life.

For a larger audience outreach, a

website was created, with the magazine

and its video presentation

posted in it.

The resulting modern and exciting

magazine about the life of George

Maciunas is available both in print

and in electronic form.
