About the Fluxus Movement:Emerging in the 1960s and gaining international influence, Fluxus is an experimental art movement that combines various artistic forms and blurs the boundaries between art and everyday life. Fluxus artists take a playful, open-minded approach, using everyday objects and actions to create unconventional works that challenge traditional art concepts and encourage interactive experiences for viewers.
