Fluxus West

Fluxus West was a regional branch of the international Fluxus movement, active primarily in the 1960s and 1970s, focused on experimental art, music, and performance. It emphasized the blending of different art forms, often involving audience participation and provocative, playful approaches that challenged traditional boundaries. Think of it as an artistic community that encouraged spontaneity and anti-establishment ideas, fostering collaboration among artists across disciplines. Fluxus West sought to democratize art, making creativity accessible and emphasizing the process over formal aesthetics, influencing avant-garde practices in the western United States.
