- started in early 1960s
- Some Fluxus Artists: Allison Knowles, Yoko Ono, etc.
- Concept of an aesthetic object as an object ( a self-contained structure limited in space and time) is fundamental to all modern thinking about aesthetics.
-Human Experience is diverse, resulting in diverse work and therefore productive of the as yet unknown.
FLUXKIT
- offer "not the perspectively controlled and controlling visual model of veristic art...but sensory information for a radically empowered experience of art that connects the individual to a greater social or environmental context.
- The items in a fluxkit are offered to be touched and explored by the viewer of the work.
THE FLUXUS EVENT
- Originated in John Cage's 1958-1959 music composition class at the New School.
- His idea was to accept whatever sounds occurred within a specific period of time. Those sounds determined the music.
- John Cagee did 4'33" in 1952 where he sat at a Piano and did not do anything. AT ALL.
GEORGE BRECHT'S EVENT SCORE
- The demeanor of a performer in an event score performance is much like that of a painter than that of an actor on stage.
ACTION PAINTING
- In the fluxus movement as well.
LIFE MEDIA
- Spontaneous decisions, the relationship to the environment, and the physical parameters within which the work occurs.
- The Blurring of Art and Life by Allan Kaprow
EVENT SCORES
- Involved simple actions, ideas, and objects from everyday life recontextualized as performance.
- Event Scores are texts that can be seen as proposal pieces or instructions for actions.
