Sinossi
Welcome to the extraordinary world of Fluxus, an artistic movement that shattered boundaries and redefined the very essence of art. In this captivating book, we delve into the depths of Fluxus, uncovering its origins, tracing its evolution, and examining its profound impact on contemporary art. Fluxus emerged in the 1960s as a vibrant collective of artists, musicians, and performers united by a shared belief in the transformative power of art. Rejecting traditional notions of artistic practice, Fluxus artists embraced experimentation, collaboration, and audience participation, creating immersive experiences that challenged perceptions and provoked new ways of thinking about art. Fluxus events, known as "happenings," were ephemeral, site-specific performances that blurred the lines between art and life. Artists utilized everyday objects, unconventional materials, and their own bodies to create immersive experiences that engaged audiences on multiple levels. These happenings were often playful, humorous, and thought-provoking, inviting participants to question their assumptions about art and its role in society. At the core of Fluxus was a deep commitment to anti-art and the dematerialization of the art object. Fluxus artists sought to break down the traditional distinctions between art and non-art, questioning the commodification of art and its status as a precious object. They believed that art should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their social or economic background. Fluxus artists employed a wide range of media, including film, music, mail art, and performance, to convey their ideas and challenge conventional notions of artistic practice. They embraced chance operations, indeterminacy, and the concept of "anti-art," creating works that were often playful, humorous, and thought-provoking. The influence of Fluxus can be seen in the development of subsequent art movements, such as conceptual art, performance art, and intermedia art. Fluxus artists paved the way for a more inclusive and experimental approach to art-making, encouraging artists to break free from traditional conventions and explore new possibilities for artistic expression. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of Fluxus, providing a deeper understanding of this groundbreaking movement and its lasting impact on the art world. Through detailed analysis of Fluxus events, artworks, and theoretical underpinnings, the book sheds light on the origins, key figures, and enduring legacy of Fluxus.
