Hannah Higgins Chapter 3

I was under the impression after the first chapter, that the discussion of more modern works such as Fluxus might return to a somewhat sane practice of artistic expression, however it is evident that I was mistaken. The Fluxus movement remains completely unorthodox and to what many would describe as abnormal, however this time it includes actions of wrapping people in tin foil and driving them around and depositing them in Grand Central Station, and on the following day they are hung inverted in trees with a muslin bag covering them. This so-called art seems to be more like a public prank on the entirety of the surrounding populace and on the traditional members of the art appreciating community.
