Fluxus, Exploring the Art of the Idea
You study the 1960s-era art movement Fluxus as you would a lost people such
as the Incas: through artifacts. In terms of traditional,
museum-vitrine-ready artwork, the group left little behind. Intentionally
ephemeral, their works included performances and happenings that were
impossible to replicate -- though many were documented in letters and on
video and audiotape. A visit to a Fluxus archive is likely the closest
you'll get to understanding them
