>Fluxus has been called the most radical and experimental art movement of
>the sixties. In 1962 the first Fluxus Festival was held at the City Museum
>of Wiesbaden. Since that time the concept of Fluxus as an avantgarde art
>movement has evolved, covering a broad spectrum of multi-dimensional
>artistic activities such as gatherings, happenings, musical events,
>presentations of ideas and objects, etc. Its ongoing legacy continues
>to provoke and excite.
>
>Fluxus artists from around the world have shown an abundance of attitude
>and irreverence for the pretensions of High Art over the last 40 years.
>Their work challenges the foundations of serious culture with irony and
>wit. Joseph Beuys, one of the most influential German Fluxus artists,
>declared that everybody is an artist.
>
>Fluxus in Deutschland 1962-1994 is an exhibition of paintings, videos,
>photos, audio tapes and scores of the most important artists and events
>in the history of German Fluxus. This exhibition was curated by Rene Block
>and Gabriele Knapstein for ifa (Institut fur Auslandsbeziehungen Stuttgart)
>and is sponsored by the Goethe-Institut, Sydney.
>
>Posters, photos, letters, film and audio recordings, musical scores and
>books by the artists enable a contemporary audience to visualise past
>performances and events in Germany.
>
>Fluxus in Deutschland 1962-1994 also features original work by the likes
>of John Cage, Nam June Paik, Joseph Beuys, Wolf Vostell, Robert Filliou,
>George Maciunas and many others.
>
>Screenings of Fluxfilm Anthology (37 short films), video documentaries on
>performances by Nam June Paik, Joseph Beuys and John Cage and sound art
>as recorded by the WDR (West German Broadcasting) will also be presented.
>
>The exhibition will be officially opened by His Excellency, The Ambassador
>of Germany, Dr Horst Baechmann, with an introduction to the exhibition
>by Rene Block, Artistic Director of the 8th Biennale of Sydney.
