黑料不打烊

Parrra & Romero is pleased to present our new exhibition curated by Javier Panera.

FLUXUS emerged between 1960s 鈥� 1970s as a response to the conception of art as a product. Thus, immersed in the visual arts and influenced by music, literature, and dance, this self-proclaimed artistic-sociological movement found diverse expressions not only in United States but also Europe, and Japan.

George Maciunas, artist, gallery owner, and founding member of FLUXUS, said that art 鈥渟hould be simple, entertaining, and unpretentious, without the need to master special techniques and without aspiring to any kind of commercial or institutional value.鈥� Under this umbrella, the artistic vision of FLUXUS doesn鈥檛 seek a linguistic renewal but rather a break from any specific language and adopt different media and materials that point toward the idea of 鈥渢otal art".

Shattered music. Sound Art Beneath the Expansive Shadow of Fluxus aims to show the indisputable influence that it had on the generations to come, as well as the connections it developed with other contemporary movements such as Minimalism or Conceptual Art. An entire generation that was fundamental to understand the legitimization of important sound art, performance, the happening, and many others derived from action art.

Taking Dadaism, Surrealism, and Conceptual Art as its starting point, FLUXUS was born informally at the Wiesbaden Festival in September 1962, under the leadership of Lithuanian artist George Maciunas, as a 鈥済ame between conspirators鈥� in which music, visual arts, sound art, experimental poetry, performance art, and video art were brought into dialogue.
