Scope and Contents

This book tracks the interdisciplinary and international arts movement that began in the 1960's..."Fluxus is both an attitude towards art -making and culture that is not historically limited, and a specific historic group...This attitude is in part traceable to the network of interrelated ideas about culture, politics, and society explored earlier in the twentieth century by the Futurists, the Dadaists, and the Surrealists. Some of these same ideas were later explored after World War II by artists associated with groups such as Lettrism, International Situationism, Nouveau Realisme, and Fluxus itself." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
