FLUXUS:  What in god's name is that?


It's research time.  In order to make a Fluxus inspired piece of art, I suppose I need to know what Fluxus art is. 


I found a helpful site, www.fluxus.org.


I followed it to- www.artnotart.com- where I found a writing excerpt from Forty Years of Fluxus
by Ken Friedman.


"As I see it, Fluxus was a laboratory. The research program of the Fluxus laboratory is characterized by twelve ideas:

globalism,
the unity of art and life,
intermedia,
experimentalism,
chance,
playfulness,
simplicity,
implicativeness,
exemplativism,
specificity,
presence in time, and
musicality."



Hopefully, these 12 concepts of Fluxus art, as per Ken Friedman that is, will help me wrap my head around this art movement.  I am sure there is more than enough material here for me to jive off of.  Off to the studio...
