[RERUN] What is fluxus?

About this episode

There are artistic movements which we’ve all heard of at least once, whether it be at school, in a museum or watching a cultural show on TV. But at the same time, it can be difficult to define them, and that’s why we’re here to help. Today we’re going to shed light on a 1960s anti-art movement known as fluxus. French-American cubist painter Marcel Duchamp invented the term anti-art in the early 20th century, to bring together various concepts that rejected the very idea of art itself. But bear in mind that even anti-art can still be art. Complicated, huh? Wait a minute; let’s start out with what anti-art is? And how does that relate to the fluxus movement? So what are the main works from the fluxus movement? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
