FLUXFAX PORTFOLIO
The Fluxfax Portfolio was created in honor of George Maciunis, the founder and guiding soul of the Fluxus art movement, on the occasion of the Fluxus Festival held in New York City in 1994.

All of the artwork was faxed with attached instructions for the printer, hence the title FLUXFAX.
