Fluxus was founded in 1962 by George Maciunas (1931-78), an Lithuanian-American artist who had moved to Germany to escape his creditors.
Among its members were Joseph Beuys, John Cage, and Yoko Ono who explored media ranging from performance art to poetry to experimental music to film.
The often playful style of Fluxus artists led to their being considered by some little more than a group of pranksters in their early years.

 U B U W E B :: Concrete Poetry and Conceptual Art
Concrete poetry first emerged as a coherent movement during the 1950's and 1960's and its precepts were exemplified by a number of central figures who incorporated text as a visual element within geometric, symmetrical and occasionally pictorial arrangements.
The swift decline of Concrete poetry in the mid 1960's was further accelerated by a wider perception that the form of the visual poem was compromised in the eyes of both literary criticism and and art theory.
Whilst the cultural significance of concrete poetry as a movement per se may still be the subject of some inquiry, its importance to the development of other artistic forms and its precedence in wresting a share of language from the grip of the literary cognoscenti and integrating it into visual art practice seems significant.

 FLUXLIST FAQ
"Fluxus is (or was) an international community of artists, architects, designers and composers sometimes described as "the most radical and experimental art movement of the 1960s." In the aftermath of the 30th anniversary exhibitions, Fluxus has been celebrated as a leading force in the development of post-modern culture and dismissed as a group of charlatans.
Variously described in terms of architecture, design, music, poetry, criticism, social sculpture, mathematics, politics, dance, film, visual art and many more, Fluxus can be thought of as a community of people engaged in all these disciplines.
We distinguished between "Fluxus" and "Fluxism," etc. Finally it didn't matter, because we were still alive and changing and whether or not what we did was "Fluxus," it was also other things too and it simply stopped being useful to call it Fluxus.

 Art in America: 20th century AD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Some Fluxus artists say that if George Maciunas--the Lithuanian expatriate, entrepreneur and one-time art dealer--had not named the tendency and rounded everybody up, publishing the work and producing concerts and exhibitions, we would not know of these activities now.
Fluxus was actually born in Wiesbaden in September 1962 in a festival of works with the grand title "Fluxus Internationale Festspiele Neuester Musik." This was the first public appearance of the word "Fluxus." Maciunas chose Wiesbaden because he was working as a designer-architect with the U.S. Air Force there.
He discovered the word flux (Latin fluxus) by opening a dictionary, according to Emmett Williams, and putting his finger on a word at random, exactly the way Tristan Tzara supposedly found the word Dada in 1916 in a Larousse dictionary.

 Craig Saper at the Kelly Writers House
Fluxus objects and performances are characterized by minimalist but often expansive gestures based in scientific, philosophical, sociological, or other extra-artistic ideas and leavened with burlesque.
In the '60s, when the Fluxus movement was most active, artists all over the globe worked in concert with a spontaneously generated but carefully maintained Fluxus network.
Initially received as little more than an international network of pranksters, the admittedly playful artists of Fluxus were, and remain, a network of radical visionaries who have sought to change political and social, as well as aesthetic, perception.

Left with only a palate of language and images to read (the images must be read as are the words) each mouth is then an instrument of poetry (not the arrogance of the frozen poem locked in form and overly buffed with the ego of poet).
Simple and clear he has measured the network of the poetry for which he has deep affection and is thereby infected with its poetics and then because the spirit of it is in him he makes this magazine, this thing of pearl beauty for those guests at his table.

Fluxus has had a wide and enthusiastic reception in Poland throughout the past three decades, but with Dick it was a special case, I think, because of his wide intellectual horizons and an understanding of history (without which Poles can't live).

 After Language Poetry
Poetry, Bernstein argued, is never really "natural" (e.g., "I look straight into my heart and write the exact words that come from within"); rather, "it emphasizes its medium as being, constructed, rule governed, everywhere circumscribed by grammar and syntax, chosen vocabulary: designed, manipulated, picked, programmed, organized, and so an artifice."
At the same time poetry, insofar as it had become the domain of the Creative Writing workshop, was no longer the contested site it had been in the days of Pound, Eliot.
The second is a form which I call, for want of a better name, "differential poetry," that is poetry that does not exist in a single fixed state but can vary according to the medium of presentation: printed book, cyberspace, installation, or oral rendition.

 SOMETHING ABOUT FLUXUS by GEORGE BRECHT
Now that Fluxus activities are occurring in New York it's possible for statesiders to get some understanding and, relatively, some misunderstanding of the nature of Fluxus.
The misunderstandings have seemed to come from comparing Fluxus with movements or groups whose individuals 'have had some principle in common, or an agreed-upon program.
In Fluxus there has never been any attempt to agree on aims or methods; individuals with something unnameable in common have simply naturally coalesced to publish and perform their work.
