Fluxus
Active
between the early 1960s and the mid-1970s, Fluxus was
as much a state of mind as a particular style. The
term was first used In 1961 by George Manciunas, and
was intended to describe a condition of perpetual
activity and change. Fluxus had a similar
iconoclastic ideology to Dada and was focused
on a loosely interconnected, revolutionary group of
artists in Europe and the United States, who reacted
against traditional art forms. The style manifested
itself in Happenings, interactive
performances, videos, poetry and found objects, and
was important in paving the way for Performance
and Conceptual
Art.
