# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=fluxus+gutai
# Fluxus carries the structure. Gutai appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Fluxus (Style, early 1960s–late 1970s) and its accent from Gutai (Style, 1954–1972). Structural cues: Event scores; Boxes and multiples; Everyday actions; Anti-art humor. Accent cues, used sparingly: Body colliding with material; Outdoor exhibitions; Tearing, throwing, treading; Participation and play. Composition: One item per card, with the order of the deck left unfixed.. Type and lettering: Write each instruction as one imperative line and print it still open to reading.. Let one material quality come from the second style: Mud, paper, water, bulbs and paint, keeping the marks of tearing and treading.. Mood: Rebellion, Play, Intimacy, Exhilaration. Color: build on #ece6d7, #c43d31, #22201d with a single accent drawn from #e6dfd1, #d84831, #25211f. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Fluxus: Imitating random instructions and plain boxes settles nothing about ownership, authority and the audience's role, and a score framed on the wall without ever being performed loses the premise of action and participation.
# - Gutai: Restaging the physical gesture without responding to what the material does leaves only spectacle. Read the thought behind it, postwar Japan, the autonomy of material and the audience taking part.
