FLUXUS TODAY. Action Art in Performance, Research, Exhibition, Archive
Conference in preparation for the exhibitions „The lunatics are on the loose …“ EUROPEAN FLUXUS FESTIVALS 1962-1977.
As guest at Akademie der Künste | Hanseatenweg 10 | 10557 Berlin
21 - 22 Oct 2011 | in English
Discussions will focus on innovative presentations of action art, meeting academic standards as well as those of a broad public. The conference will reflect the specific situation of Fluxus, in which the classical boundaries between professions are blurred and artists are also archivists, art historians and curators also perform, and collectors research and curate as well. Performance interventions by Eric Andersen, Ben Patterson, Willem de Ridder and Tamas St.Turba will contribute to the intertwining of theory and practice. The conference takes place within the exhibition A ROOM FOR JOHN CAGE.
Concept: Petra Stegmann
