A Few Ideas About Fluxus
"...it was meant to be a long-lasting idea or tradition with continuing converts
and practitioners. That is the way I look at it and that is the way I deal with
it." [Don Boyd]
"I think what makes Fluxus so dynamic and interesting to
me is that there is no definition - I wish people would just accept that. The
appealing idea is that Fluxus is inclusive. Artists spend most of their careers
being rejected which is why Fluxus is so refreshing..." [Dawg]
"Fluxus is
not a moment in history, or an art movement. Fluxus is a way of doing things, a
tradition, and a way of life and death." [Dick Higgins]
"Fluxus is more
valuable as an idea and a potential for social change than as a specific group
of people or a collection of objects." [Ken Friedman]
And three of my ideas about Fluxus:
1) Fluxus makes the mundane magical.
2) Fluxus happens when one feels
that life and art must be taken so
seriously, that it becomes impossible to
take life or art seriously.
3) Ordinary acts and ordinary objects perceived
in extraordinary ways.
