Fluxus
Fluxus, now spread around
the world, is a group that began as a network of friends and acquantainces of the Lithuanian designer George Maciunas
when he thought to bring together those not bound to exisiting modes
of expression. The time of its inception, the 1960s, saw a growth of
economic luxury centered on the USA and Europe and a boom in
capitalist culture. Although the group had no set rules, they took a
general philosophy of "anyone can be an artist, anything can become
art", and the idea of "finding art in the banal" was counter to the
high art and fine art of the time. Maciunas wrote up a Fluxus
manifesto but did not require any artist to sign it. As a result,
though there were no particular rules, the lack of a strict order
allowed them to avoid fissures in the group. Fluxus' activity began
in 1962 with the FLUXUS FESTIVAL in Wiesdbaden, and has swept up
many artists ever since.
John Cage's influence on Fluxus has been particularly large, and
many of the students from his New School, such as Ichiyanagi Toshi,
became involved with Fluxus. Cage's most well-known work, "4'33"",
is a score which only consists of "tacet", directing silence. This
work has been performed at Fluxus concerts. (Text by ICHIKAWA Ayana)
