Fluxus: To George With Love
This, from the online anouncement for a Fluxus exhibition at ArtCal:[George] Maciunas coined the term "Fluxus" in 1961 from a Latin etymological root meaning "flow," in order to describe a movement with origins in Futurist performance, Dada, silent film, comedy, vaudeville, and gaming. Fluxus set out to question time-worn notions of authorship and value, and challenge ostensibly firm distinctions between artistic genres. Influenced by the work of John Cage and Marcel Duchamp, the Fluxus group shifted the emphasis from what an artist makes to the artist's personality, actions and opinions.
