i don't pretend to know more than a little of Fluxus in the plastic arts--but the pieces i know of many struck me as being ephemeral--that is, they are in keeping with this:
"the world as we see it is passing" (st paul)--
to me often the works were to be in tune with this, make the viewer aware of the ephemerality of things and seeing things in the passing of time--
i think this relates in many ways to the Eastern infuences in Fluxus--
the piece one is seeeing is making evident that this seeing is passing, is not fixed--and then piece itself is not fixed--
the first definition of "modernism" is from Baudelaire--he wrote that is the conjunction of the ephemeral and the eternal--the eternal with in the ephemeral--
to me the Fluxus pieces are examing this in a vareity of different ways--
these are just some thoughts from the little i have seen and know of the Fluxus pieces in plastic arts--suggestions--to perhaps consider (?)--
