Fluxus was a radical anti-art movement which emerged during the ‘60s, and included Dick Higgins, Allison Knowles, Nam June Paik, and Joseph Beuys. “It strives for non-structural, non-theatrical, non-baroque, impersonal, qualities of a simple, natural event, an object, a game, a puzzle or gag. It is a fusion of Spike Jones, gags, games, Vaudeville, Cage, and Duchamp.” – Fluxus Manifesto.
PLUS “Cut-Out”, a Performance by Mexican artist, filmmaker Alfredo Nuñez, whose work in various media utilizes elements from Mexican popular culture and emphasizes direct audience participation. He will invite the audience to play instruments for his films, which deal with American Imperialism in Mexico.
