Description

Subject Matter:

The choice of random phrase, conventional printer paper and mass produced frame all place this piece in the tradition of Fluxus works which are often created quickly of ephemeral elements.

Physical Description:

The phrase "50 years ago the citizens of Wiesbaden wanted to tar and Feather me and my Fluxus buddies.  This year they awarded me Their Kulter Prize." is digitally printed on paper and signed by artist then placed in a mass produced frame with a googly-eye sticker in the lower right corner.
