Lilly Cao, Summer 2020 Curatorial Intern, investigates connections between The Kitchen and the Fluxus movement using three events from *Flux Concert*,a night of over thirty performances by prominent Fluxus artists hosted at The Kitchen in 1979. Fluxus and The Kitchen share a lengthy, concrete history—yet fittingly, this history appears as indeterminate as the art of Fluxus itself. This On File Spotlight reflects on the group’s artistic influence on early Kitchen curators, performers, and artists such as Yasunao Tone, La Monte Young, and Nam June Paik.

This On File Spotlight examines the relationships between description and time-based programming.
