Stendhal Gallery‘s Mr. Fluxus: An Anthology of Essays, Anti-Film, Documents, Architecture and Ephemeral Objects opens September 16 and runs through October 16, 2010.
Mr. Fluxus (George Maciunas), was a Master Architect, Art Historian, and Utopian Urban Planner. In the early 1960’s, he formed a circle of artists and an attitude called Fluxus. Described, “as the most radical and experimental art movement of the sixties,” Fluxus continues to exert considerable influence on contemporary thought and creative production, by questioning timeworn notions of authorship and value.
Maciunas’ focus shifted from architecture to avant-garde art. He designed publications and organized festivals that promoted American, European and Asian experimental artists such as Joseph Beuys, Nam June Paik and Yoko Ono. Drawing from such musical influences as John Cage and La Monte Young, Maciunas designed the publication, “An Anthology,” containing the blueprint for concerts, performances and publications that followed until he passed away in 1978.
