Fluxus Movement

The Fluxus Movement was an avant-garde art movement that emerged in the 1960s, focusing on the intersection of art, music, and performance. It emphasized creativity and spontaneity, often rejecting traditional art forms and commercialism. Artists associated with Fluxus created interactive events, experimental music, and interdisciplinary works that encouraged audience participation. They aimed to blur the lines between art and everyday life, challenging the notion of “art” as a distinct category. Key figures included George Maciunas and Yoko Ono, who promoted a philosophy of art that was accessible, playful, and politically engaged.
