From its inception, one of the purposes of Fluxus art has been the performance and publicizing of works that bear an iconoclastic relationship to music, literature, and the visual arts.
This lecture, with performance, examines the early Fluxus years of the 1960s and 1970s through slides and the real experiences of an artist in this “event score” tradition, which began in Germany and became a basis for performance art in America.
Jessica Higgins, Intermedia Artist, will perform with Alison Knowles.
The Julia S. Phelps Annual Lecture in Art and the Humanities was established to honor the memory of Julia S. Phelps, longtime instructor in the Radcliffe Seminars, and is supported by the generous contributions of her family, friends, and colleagues.
This event is free and open to the public.
