About this work

You see a small, flat box covered in gray felt. Inside are bits of metal, a glass slide, tape, and vinyl—like a quiet toolbox nobody ever opened. Brecht called these works “event scores.” They’re meant to be touched, moved, or just thought about. The piece doesn’t tell you what to feel; it waits for you to decide if it’s art or a leftover from someone’s desk. Look up other works in The Museum of Modern Art’s Fluxus collection to see how artists turned everyday objects into questions.
