Why I love Fluxus

Shigeko KubotaThere are so many reasons. Here is one, quoted from the blog Metro Times:

“Fluxus artists were irresistible art flirts and menaces. They refused tickets to snobs, patronized critics and dared the public to find a point to art. They pushed the boundaries of what is considered art and, as Fluxus artist Nam June Paik wrote, turned you and me into the same clowns as Goethe and Beethoven. In short — they leveled the playing field.”

Access is key!
