Collaboratively designed by George Brecht and George Maciunas, Water Yam is a boxed anthology of all of Brecht’s event scores composed up to the time of its publication. It is one of the earliest Fluxus editions. At one point in their correspondence, Brecht and Maciunas considered a subscription model in which copies of Water Yam would be continuously updated with newly composed scores. Due to the ad-hoc nature of their production, copies of Water Yam vary in the number of cards included and the materiality of their container. The overall format of loose cards in a box amplifies the publication’s indeterminate and participatory nature. One can explore the entire contents of this deluxe copy of Water Yam, assembled by George Maciunas, in a special interface.
