Starting in the early sixties, Fluxus followed in the footsteps of the
Futurist and Dada avant-gardes, going against the established grain of Fine Art
and Official Art and promoting imposture as an aesthetic dimension.

Fluxus interdisciplinary aesthetic brings together influences as diverse as
Zen, science, and daily life and puts them to poetic use. Initially received as
little more than an international network of pranksters, the playful artists of
Fluxus were, and remain, a network of radical visionaries who sought to
reconcile art with life.

Dating from the sixties and compiled by
George Maciunas
(1931-1978, founder of Fluxus), this is a document consisting of 37 short films
ranging from 10 seconds to 10 minutes in length. These films (some of which were
meant to be screened as continuous loops) were shown as part of the events and
happenings of the New York avant-garde. Made by the artists listed above, they
celebrate the ephemeral humor of the Fluxus
movement.
