FLUXUS EAST
Fluxus Networks in Central Eastern Europe
27. September - 4. November 2007
Fluxus is well-known as an (anti-)artistic, international network with centres in the USA, Western Europe and Japan. But what about this "intermedia" art - art encompassing music, actions, poetry, objects and events - beyond the "Iron Curtain"? What echo did Fluxus find in the states of the former Eastern Bloc, and what parallel developments existed there?
FLUXUS EAST represents a first stocktaking of the diverse Fluxus activities in the former Eastern Bloc; the exhibition shows parallel developments and artistic practices inspired by Fluxus, which are still adopted by some young artists today. Besides the "classic" Fluxus objects, the display will include photographs, films, correspondence, secret police files, interviews and recordings of music that document the presence of Fluxus in the former Eastern Bloc. As an interactive exhibition, FLUXUS EAST aims to facilitate a profound encounter with ideas, works and texts. Visitors are invited to play at FLUX PING PONG, and to explore the POIPOIDROME by Robert Filliou.
Performances by Eric Andersen, Geoffrey Hendricks, Milan Knížák, Alison Knowles, Larry Miller, Ben Patterson, Tamás St. Auby, Ben Vautier and others will take place at the opening on September 26, 2007.
FLUXUS EAST is funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation.
