 Fluxus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fluxus (from "to flow") is an art movement noted for the blending of different artistic disciplines, primarily visual art but also music and literature.
Fluxus was loosely organized in 1962 by George Maciunas (1931-78), a Lithuanian-American artist who had moved to Germany to escape his creditors, along with his fellow Lithuanian and personal friend, Almus Salcius.
Fluxus has also been compared to Dada and aspects of Pop Art and is seen as the starting point of mail art.

 Fluxus
Fluxus artists sought to create art "events" which tested the limits of what we consider "music performance," "art exhibition," etc...
Fluxus, the name given to a loose collective of New York and European neo-Dadaists, was the most experimental and radical art movement of the 1950s and 60s.
Fluxus art events frequently took their confrontational message outside theaters and galleries and into to the street.

 FORTY YEARS of FLUXUS by KEN FRIEDMAN
Fluxus artists are not the first to apply this method, but Fluxus is the first art movement to declare this way of working as an entirely appropriate method for use over years of activity rather than as the occasional diversion.
Dick wrote, "Fluxus is not a moment in history, or an art movement.
When Fluxus emerged, art was under the influence of a series of attitudes in which art seemed to be a liberal, secular substitute for religion.

 Mead Art Museum: Fluxus
The exhibition is guest curated by Fluxus artist Geoffrey Hendricks (Class of 1953), Professor Emeritus, Mason Gross School of Art at Rutgers University, and co-organized by Sur Rodney (Sur).
Fluxus) created his major composition, the Flux-Mass at Rutgers’ Voorhees Chapel and Hermann Nitsch, the Viennese Actionist presented his controversial Orgies-Mysteries-Theater.
Through the 60s, artists connected with Happenings and Fluxus created works on campus, and Rutgers artists in turn had a growing impact on new art in New York and abroad.

 FLUXUS AND POSTAL EPHEMERA
Fluxus began outside Fine Art, with many of the people who joined Fluxus coming from non-art backgrounds working in the spaces between art forms and between art and life.10 In this way, they relate to mailartists with the participators not necessarily coming from an arts background and not signalling the importance of 'art'.
Fluxus was conceived in 1961/1962 by George Maciunas (1931 - 1978), a Lithuanian architect and designer and part owner of the A/G gallery, 925 Madison Avenue.9 A/G got its name from the forenames of Maciunas and his partner Almus Salicus.
Maciunas had more success with suggesting to the Fluxus artists that they should simply sign their work 'Fluxus', in a move against the perception of art as elitist behaviour and careerism.

 FLUXLIST FAQ
"Fluxus is (or was) an international community of artists, architects, designers and composers sometimes described as "the most radical and experimental art movement of the 1960s." In the aftermath of the 30th anniversary exhibitions, Fluxus has been celebrated as a leading force in the development of post-modern culture and dismissed as a group of charlatans.
"Fluxus is the wry, post-Dada art movement that flourished in New York and Germany in the 1950s and 60s, and influences many contemporary artists.
Fluxus successfully and somewhat problematically erased all distinctions between art, philosophy, design and daily life.

 The Fluxus Blog - Fluxus Information and Fluxus Musings
Fluxus is a multimedia art made from the curdled activities of various people-most commonly poets but sometimes painters, musicians, dancers, housewives and water skiers.
However, performance art, video art, installation art, mail art, and time-based artworks are closely related to Fluxus even if not identified as such by either the artist or art critics.
With the dawn of the postmodern worldview in the 1950s a new "anti-art" movement was born that included the humour and protest elements of dada but replaced the nihilism of dada with either optimism or with a non-committal trivialization of the modern worldview.

Fluxus is dead, as we all are, as all art and all actions are which are past and described.
That’s another strange thing about Fluxus artists: They have transcended the “posthumous norm” and written their ways into the history books of art for themselves.
And art will tremble with fear when Fluxus breaks through with new plans for the art-planet: inner threat and outer irritations will vanish in the light of their sacred templefruit.

Fluxus drew upon a combination of sources that included Dada, Duchamp's readymades, Surrealism, Futurism, Spike Jones, and the music of John Cage to counter the belief that the experience of art was superior to that of life.
Fluxus, a word chosen by Maciunas for its connotation of change, became a loose association of artists, some of whom were making work that the original Fluxus publication meant to document.
Created in 1961 by the artist George Maciunas, the term Fluxus was originally intended as the title of a magazine that would document new art.

 Amazon.com: Fluxus Experience: Books: Hannah Higgins
Higgins, the daughter of the Fluxus artists Alison Knowles and Dick Higgins, makes the most of her personal connection to the movement by sharing her firsthand experience, bringing an astounding immediacy to her writing and a palpable commitment to shedding light on what Fluxus is and why it matters.
She does so by moving out from the art itself in what she describes as a series of concentric circles: to the artists who create Fluxus, to the creative movements related to Fluxus (and critics' and curators' perceptions and reception of them), to the lessons of Fluxus art for pedagogy in general.
Fluxus began in the 1950s with artists from around the world who favored no single style or medium but displayed an inclination to experiment.

 The Fluxus Movement
As a participant in proto-Fluxus activity in New York in the late 1950s, as well as a number of Fluxus festivals in the early 1960s, Higgins had experienced the breakdown of traditional art forms -- painting, sculpture, music, poetry -- first hand.
The convention of artistic media had been in flux long before Fluxus, but one of the first to describe this development was the artist-theorist Dick Higgins.
This notion assumed the blurring and dissolution of conventional forms of art that had begun early in the century with such movements as Futurism, Dada and Russian Constructivism, and that had re-emerged at mid-century in a diversity of movements, groups, and tendencies.

 FLUXUS
FLUXUS is also an invention of George Maciunas graphic artist, gallery director and small time entrepreneur.
Performance artist Henry Flynt, described their work as 'Concept Art' in which the material which made up their art were concepts: Since 'concepts' are closely bound up with language, concept art is a kind of art of which the material is language.
From there, he continued his contact with the New York artists and sent out announcements about a series of "yearbooks" of artists works under the title of FLUXUS [2].

 Art Journal: In the spirit of Fluxus - Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Furthermore, she notes that the exhibition underlines the alternative system of distribution central to the Fluxus enterprise; that is, the importance of multiples and publications and the direct sale of them to the public.
The exhibition is enhanced with videotapes and photographs documenting early Fluxus festivals in Europe in 1962-63 when an international group of musicians, writers, and artists organized concerts of new music and scored events based on simple, often repetitious actions.
Then, adhering to the chronology of the exhibition, he charts Fluxus from 1962 to 1978, dividing the activities into three periods: 1962-64, the period of festivals and events, which he calls proto-Fluxus; 1964-70, the period of publications and multiples; and 1970-78, late Fluxus performance.

 Punching the Line: Fluxus, Yippie, and the 1968 DNC
Fluxus artist Wolf Vostell’s “civic” installations of the same period — de-collage works through de(con)struction to (re)construction).
In terms of the connection to Yippie actions, it is also important to note that many Fluxus performances are collaborative and interactive in nature, “decentering the role of the artist and artwork”; as Smith emphasizes, “ultimate power lies with the audience” (Smith 170).
One, Flux artist Joe Jones piece for a ’65 Fluxorchestra concert, encouraged spectators to laugh at the notion of “high” art performance, to “decrown” (to borrow a term from Bakhtin) its forms and rituals of presentation, as well as to question the mass produced, or conventionalized — i.e., formalized/formularized — nature of mainstream art.

It is the former that served as a subject of the exhibition Fluxus: A Conceptual Country, which I organized in 1992/93; it was the latter that was lauded in the Walker Art Center's concurrent celebration, aptly entitled In the Spirit of Fluxus.
Despite their aggressively anti-art personae, both the Dada collective and its paradigmatic neo-Dada counterpart were distinguishable from majority culture communities because of their (sometimes veiled, yet recurrent) self-identification as alternative art cultures.
In his response to one of the sessions during the February 1993 Fluxus Symposium at the Walker Art Center, Higgins confirmed that my methodological approach had indeed been appropriate.

This automatic and obsessive sense-making is, of course, exactly why more Fluxus is needed in everyday life.
By doing so they were able to quickly dispose of the question and move past it in order to find out "what was really going on." They declined the initial opportunity and invitation to be silly until they had made more sense out of the situation.
