In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Fluxus—the international
laboratory of art, architecture, design and music—Swinburne
University of
Technology has released a free digital copy of The Fluxus Reader.
Fluxus began in the 1950s as a loose, international community of
artists,
architects, composers and designers. By the 1960s, Fluxus had become a
laboratory of ideas and an arena for artistic experimentation in
Europe,
Asia and the United States. Described as 'the most radical and
experimental
art movement of the 1960s', Fluxus has challenged conventional thinking
on
art and culture for half a century. Fluxus artists had a central role
in
the birth of such key contemporary art forms as concept art,
installation,
performance art, intermedia and video. Despite this influence, the
scope
and scale of this unique phenomenon have made it difficult to explain
Fluxus in normative historical and critical terms.
In The Fluxus Reader, editor Ken Friedman offers the first
comprehensive
overview of this challenging and controversial group. The Fluxus Reader
is
written by leading scholars and experts from Europe, the United States
and
Australia.
First published in 1998, the book was out of print for several years
and
only available from rare book dealers and galleries. To celebrate the
50th
anniversary of Fluxus in 2012, Swinburne University arranged for a
complete
digital edition in PDF format, copy-enabled with full search features.
