Fluxus (Its Historical Development and Relationship to Avant-Garde Movements)

description

Free-standing 2nd version and so-called "small chart" created by George Maciunas to situate Fluxus in the historical canon. Black ink on chartreuse paper. "Today it is fashionable among the avant-garde to broaden and obscure the definition of fine arts to some ambitious realm that includes practically everything. Such broad-mindedness although very convenient in shortcutting all analytical thought, has nevertheless the disadvantage of also shortcutting the semantics and thus communication through words. Elimination of borders makes art nonexistent as an entity, since it is an opposite of the existence of a non-art that defines art as an entity. Since fluxus activates occur at the border or even beyond the border of art, it is of utmost importance to the comprehension of fluxus and its development, that this border line be rationally defined." -- from work's introductory text.
