What is Fluxus, who is Fluxus, when and where was Fluxus? Hardly any other
art movement is as difficult to define. Various writers have seen this as
the reason why the movement has not become better known or met with
greater success on the art market. Yet this supposition itself prompts a
number of questions: 1. Was Fluxus an “art movement” at all? 2. Did the
Fluxus artists actually aim for commercial success? In the light of this,
it is not exactly surprising that Eric Andersen, one of the very first
Fluxus artists, declared as recently as 2008 that no such thing as Fluxus
ever existed, and that the widely diverging forms of expression that are
now referred to as Fluxus would be more accurately characterized as
“intermedia”. There is also a lack of agreement as to which artists could
be described as belonging to or even just associated with Fluxus.
Consequently, “Fluxus” – whatever is meant by it on any given occasion –
is a term which provides a perfect basis for association with mythologems
and elaborate narratives. This is all the more true in view of the fact
that “actions” and ephemeral objects, editions and newspapers produce
something more complicated than the object-based art-historical trail that
traditional artistic activity normally lays down for its interpreters.
