FLUXUS REPLAYED (1991) 30'
Description
In radical actions, such as when Nam June Paik destroys a violin or when Yoko Ono wraps musicians' bodies in bandages during a concert, the international avant-garde group Fluxus transformed not only art, but the very notion of art itself.
Fluxus Replayed is the document of a performance given in New York in 1991, which recreated historic Fluxus pieces from the early 1960s.
The S.E.M. Ensemble, accompanied by some of the Fluxus artists themselves, performs works by Nam June Paik, Yoko Ono, Dick Higgins, George Brecht, Allison Knowles, Ben Patterson, Jackson Mac Low and Emmett Williams.
