Energy That Matters: Charles Bukowski


  • Jean Baudrillard
  • Charles Bukowski

    Bukowski, while contemporary to Fluxus, was never a part of it, and I suspect he would not have wanted to be. Equally, I suspect that the contemporaneous Fluxus people would not have been keen to have him.

    Never-the-less, Bukowski is an important figure for understanding the Fluxus Attitude. His poetry insists on two features that are important to Fluxus practice; accessibility and brevity. Bukowski embodies the Fluxus ideal of cutting away superfluous cultural baggage to tell big stories using a few small words. And one does not need to have a multi-volume dictionary handy to understand what he is saying.
