FluxusInternational avant-garde group of artists founded in Germany by U.S. artist George Maciunas (1931–78) in 1962. Its members, including Joseph Beuys, John Cage, and Yves Klein, explored media ranging from performance art to poetry to experimental music. Opposed to tradition and professionalism in the arts, the Fluxus group shifted the emphasis from what an artist makes to the artist's personality, actions, and opinions. Throughout the 1960s and '70s they staged “action” events, engaged in politics and public speaking, and produced sculptural works featuring unconventional materials. Though it was an influential movement in Europe, the group's work frequently conflicted with authority and aroused much controversy. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | See Thomas Kellein, Fluxus (London: Thames and Hudson, 1995) for examples of the Fluxus movement linking of the everyday, the performative, and the audience. Not one to be discouraged, however, Maciunas soon produced other pamphlets announcing similarly radical efforts to purchase and renovate obsolescent manufacturing buildings in SoHo in order to turn them into collective living environments for artists--a seemingly quixotic but partially successful venture on Maciunas's part that provided the backdrop for the heyday of the Fluxus movement and the first home for Jonas Mekas's Film-Makers' Cinematheque at 80 Wooster Street. The fluxus movement, which started in 1960s New York, was as provocative as it was absurd. |
