ARHA 363
Fall 2012 not offered
|
This course will examine the artists' collective Fluxus, as it formed on three continents (from 1962-1978), paying particular attention to the group's collective organization on an international scale in the context of post-World War II advanced capitalism; the diversity of subject positions occupied by its members, based on issues of race, ethnicity, gender, and class; the multidisciplinary character of its composition, including artists with backgrounds in music, painting, film, sculpture, poetry, design, and architecture; and its pioneering of new media "intermedia" art, especially combining performance, object-making, and video. The relationships between Fluxus and contemporaneous artistic trends of the 1950s-1970s, such as Environments, Happenings, and Conceptual Art, as well as Fluxus's influence on art today will also be considered. |
