Fluxus East – Fluxus Networks in Central Eastern Europe
April 18, 2008. - May 28, 2008.
Fluxus is well-known as an (anti-)artistic, international network with centres in the USA, Western Europe and Japan. But what about this intermedia art, art encompassing music, actions, poetry, objects and events, beyond the Iron Curtain? What echo did Fluxus find in the states of the former Eastern Bloc, and what parallel developments existed there? Fluxus East represents a first stocktaking of the diverse Fluxus activities in the former Eastern Bloc; the exhibition shows parallel developments and artistic practices inspired by Fluxus, which are still adopted by some young artists today. As an interactive exhibition, Fluxus East aims to facilitate a profound encounter with ideas, works and texts.
The exhibition is being produced by the Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin.
