Understanding Fluxus
So, what is actually meant by Fluxus?
Fluxus is an international Avant-Garde collective or an artist and composer network that was founded in the 1960s and still continues until now.
Explanation of Fluxus
Founded in 1960 by Lithuania/American artist George Maciunas, fluxus began as a network of artists and small but international composers, and was characterized as a joint attitude rather than movement. Rooted in experimental music, it was named after a magazine featuring the work of musicians and artists who were centered around the Avant-Garde John Cage composer.
The word Latin fluxus means flowing, in English flux is flowing out. The founder of Fluxus Maciunas said that the aim of fluxus was to ‘promote revolutionary floods and waves of art, promoting the art of life, anti-seniors’. It has a strong echo of the chest, the art movement early in the twentieth century.
The first fluxus event was staged in 1961 at the AG gallery in New York and was attended by festivals in Europe in 1962. The main centers of fluxus activities were New York, Germany and Japan.
Fluxus plays an important role in opening the definition of what art can be done. This has greatly influenced the nature of the production of art since the 1960s, which has seen various forms of art and approached that exist and develop side by side.
Fluxus does not have a single unifying force. Artists use various media and processes that adopt the attitude of ‘do-it-yourself’ for creative activities, often do random performances and use any material that exists to make art. Seeing themselves as an alternative to academic and music art, fluxus is a democratic form of creativity that is open to anyone. Collaboration is driven between artists and cross -forms, and also with spectators or spectators. This appreciates simplicity and anti-commercialism, by chance and accidents play a big role in the creation of works, and humor is also an important element.
Many key avant-garde artists in the 60s participated in fluxus, including Joseph Beuys, Dick Higgins, Alice Hutchins, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, Ben Vautier, Robert Watts, Benjamin Patterson and Emmett Williams.
