Fluxus

Fluxus

Fluxus is a global avant-garde collective and network of artists and composers that emerged in the 1960s, and remains active to this day.

Fluxus was a vibrant and interdisciplinary artistic community that thrived in the 1960s and 1970s. Comprising artists, composers, designers, and poets from across the globe, Fluxus was dedicated to pushing the boundaries of traditional art forms. At the heart of Fluxus was a profound emphasis on the artistic process itself, often prioritising it over the creation of a final, tangible product.

Members of this movement were known for their avant-garde and experimental art performances, which challenged conventional artistic norms and encouraged audiences to reevaluate their perceptions of art. Fluxus remains a significant and influential force in the world of contemporary art.
