Description
In the early sixties, Fluxus followed in the footsteps of the Futurist and Dada avant-gardes, challenging the dictates of fine art and official culture.
Fluxus's multidisciplinary aesthetic assimilated influences as diverse as Zen thought, science, and everyday life for purely poetic ends. Initially perceived as an international network of pranksters, the playful artists of Fluxus were, and remain, radical visionaries who attempted to reconcile art and life.
Dating from the sixties and compiled by George Maciunas (1931-1978, founder of Fluxus), the fluxfilms anthology is a collection of 37 short films ranging from 10 seconds to 10 minutes in length. Elements of ephemeral environments, these films—some of which were intended to be screened in loops—were presented at events and happenings of the New York avant-garde. This collection of films, made by the artists mentioned above, celebrates the entire ephemeral spirit of Fluxus.
