I love the combination of the surreal and the mundane in George Brecht’s Water Yam (1963), a “fluxkit” containing 69 cards that each propose scores for DIY art at the smallest of scales: a wall can be an exhibition, preparing tea a performance, and turning on the radio a concert. Stuck inside, staring at too many screens, I was reminded of this work and how it suggests that, with a slight shift in perspective, what seems the most boring and confining can become potentially liberating. Art is always more than the sum of its parts, and it doesn’t necessarily need an audience.
