Fluxus: The History of an Attitude 

SDSU Press  

Check it Out Here!

Description

Fluxus was once called 'the most radical and experimental art movement of the sixties,' but for anyone seeking to learn more about the historical nature of Fluxus and its conceptual framework it might more readily seem to be just plain frustrating rather than radical. This is in part the case because Fluxus is historically complex and philosophically difficult to define. FLUXUS: THE HISTORY OF AN ATTITUDE by Owen F. Smith is a HOT mix of dada, fluxus, art theory and art history. Owen F. Smith's exhaustive archival research tracks the physical remains of this fascinating interdisciplinary and international arts movement that began in the 1960s.

Amazon Book Review

This book is a "must read" for the serious student of Fluxus. Owen Smith covers the difficult-to-define Fluxus movement with aplomb in this volume. Smith's effort has resulted in a work that gives a clear and mostly complimentary illumination to Fluxus without any overt biases or "axes to grind". Smith's definition of Fluxus as an attitude, and his elaboration of that attitude within its pages, seems to be close to the perfect description of what Fluxus was and is.
