Fluxus Germany/Wiesbaden

Résumé du livre

"Fluxus: Germany/Wiesbaden documents artist (then student at the Royal College of Art, London) Simon Anderson's experience of '1962 WiesbadenFLUXUS 1982', an exhibition and program of events hosted in Wiesbaden, Germany from September 19-November 24 1982. The happening was dedicated to the Fluxus avant-garde movement, an international collection of artists who emerged in the 1950's. The group worked with accessible DIY methodologies, focusing especially on performance and 'happenings', working with alternative methods to those dictated by institutionalized art practices. The 1982 event involved conversations between artists, concerts, and performances. Details of these are depicted through scanned postcards and letters, showing Anderson's communications with artists and organizers involved. A sense of the event is further enriched by photographs and ticket stubs, most importantly supplemented by pages of Anderson's notebook, his hand written notes providing insight and mediation on the experience. The book concludes with an essay exploring, and summarizing, the events." --
