Fluxus Musik Zone West: From Beuys To Moorman
FLUXUS MUSIK ZONE WEST explores the interplay of music and art within the internationally radiant FLUXUS movement. With over 2,500 exhibits, Museum Schloss Moyland houses one of the most comprehensive collections of FLUXUS exhibits, which is brought into focus for the first time with the group show.
The exhibition shows the enormous variety of formats of music-based FLUXUS art. These range from simple instructions for action to elaborately staged concerts in which musical instruments were performatively destroyed according to fixed scores.
Special attention is paid to milestones in FLUXUS history that were written in North Rhine-Westphalia. These include, for example, the FLUXUS festival "FESTUM FLUXORUM" (D眉sseldorf Art Academy, 1963), the "24-hour happening" in Wuppertal (Parnass Gallery, 1965) or concerts and actions performed in D眉sseldorf's legendary "CREAMCHEESE" venue (1967-1976). A place that became a melting pot for FLUXUS actions, KRAUTROCK concerts and ZERO art.
FLUXUS MUSIK ZONE WEST" mainly shows "first-generation-fluxus-artists". The presentation of now historical works is broken by the integration of an outstanding contemporary position, which stands in the tradition of the FLUXUS movement: David Horvitz, the 2020 recipient of the George Maciunas Grant. His multi-sensory works will transform the facade of Museum Schloss Moyland as well as the park and the staircase.
