Two players fight each other using violins as if they were swords, axes or clubs. Someone gets dressed as badly as possible, with worn shoes and old clothes, to attend an expensive restaurant. A person drumming drumsticks on a wet sludge surface, another lighting a match and observing it until it is consumed, one more learns Norwegian to visit Italy. What's wrong with all these people? What mosquito bit him?
This book brings together 550 events, actions and performances conceived by artists such as Nam June Paik, Joe Jones, Wolf Vostell, George Maciunas, Yoko Ono, Alison Knowles, among many others. An indispensable document to experience (without being an artist) the great power of the Fluxus community and its radical imagination. Created under the principle of simplicity, non-professionalism, play and the poetic and / or absurd character of everyday life, these scores represent one of the collective's most prolific social contact strategies, through which it undermined the Institutional and commercial character of art.
Choose a billboard. Read it right and upside down, loudly or silently, to the general public or to your cat. Run it (or not). The exercises of Fluxus, said George Brecht, can be performed by anyone, anywhere.
