Spatial Poem No. 3: A Fluxcalender [sic]
View through Harvard Museums
This Fluxus edition documents one of Shiomi's worldwide mail art events. Described as a "falling event", Shiomi mailed each participant the following instructions: "the phenomenon of a fall is actually a segment of a movement towards the center of the earth. This very moment countless objects are falling. Let's take part in this centripetal event." Maciunas designed the edition in the form of a calendar with pages loosely attached with bolts so that the sheets would continue to fall off.
