This month the Maya Stendhal Gallery presents ‘To George with Love, From the Personal Collection of Jonas Mekas’. As the name suggests, the show is curated from the collection of Jonas Mekas, the man commonly known as the godfather of avant-garde cinema. A close personal friend of George Maciunas, the leader of the Fluxus Movement, Jonas has built up a remarkable selection of works, which include pieces from talents such as George Brecht, Jon Hendricks, Paul Sharits and Bob Watts. While many of these are showing at Maya Stendhal, sculptures, manuscripts and drawings from Maciunas will also be on view, alongside films such as the 'Fluxfilm Anthology', a work that consists of 41 films from different artists.
’Fluxus: To George with Love, From the Personal Collection of Jonas Mekas’ takes place at the Maya Stendhal Gallery, 545 W. 20th St. New York, NY 10011, from the 16th February – 31st March.
