Expanded Arts Diagram

George Maciunas

1966

An offset-lithograph by George Maciunas that turns the loose, collaborative world of Fluxus and allied avant-garde activity into a compact organizational diagram, mapping artists, events, and ideas as if they were corporate departments.

A tall, narrow black-and-white chart of tightly packed boxes, straight lines, and small type that reads like a technical flowchart—its clinical geometry contrasting with the lively names and categories it links across the page.

Made in 1966, the diagram makes tangible Fluxus’s interdisciplinary, networked practice, both documenting and promoting a new, anti‑institutional model of collective artistic production and distribution.
