Through conceptual strategies and innovative techniques and using “poor” art mediums, such as everyday objects, Robert Filliou (1926–1987) challenged the role of art in everyday life and its status as a final product. A member of Fluxus, Filliou believed that art did not have to be object-based. He saw it as a form of play that could occur in many different ways and happen anywhere and at any time. Filliou called himself a “happenings maestro” and an “action poet,” and requested the participation of the public to help complete many of his pieces.
