Fluxus Poster Design For MoMa

Qingru Joy Wu

The Fluxus movement, known for its rejection of traditional artistic boundaries, has inspired countless artists to explore new ways of expression. Qingru Joy Wu, a talented designer, pays homage to this movement by creating a unique poster for the Fluxus exhibition at MoMA.

Unlike the digitalized designs of today, Wu takes a step back in time and imagines herself working in the 1960s, surrounded by different tools. By hand-making the entire poster, she embraces the spirit of Fluxus and blurs the line between art and everyday life.

Experimenting with layouts and colors, Wu explores the possibilities that exist within her mind. The result is a visually striking poster that captures the essence of Fluxus and invites viewers to engage with the exhibition.

Wu's use of tapes, a typewriter, printer, ink, and a scanner adds a tactile quality to the design, further emphasizing the connection between art and the physical world. Each tool becomes a brushstroke in Wu's artistic process, contributing to the overall composition.

This Fluxus poster design for MoMA stands out for its handcrafted approach and its ability to evoke the rebellious and boundary-breaking nature of the Fluxus movement. Wu's dedication to creating a unique piece of art that reflects the ethos of Fluxus is evident in every detail of the poster.

Qingru Joy Wu's Fluxus poster design for MoMA is a testament to the enduring influence of the Fluxus movement and a celebration of the power of art to transcend traditional boundaries.
