Fluxus is bound to happen in the early Sixties. Forming a loose community of interdisciplinary collaborators, artists from North America, Asia and Europe are rethinking the role of art in society. The artistic process and interaction with the audience are becoming more important than a finished product.
47 minutes with Carolee Schneemann, Henning Christiansen, Terry Riley, Yoko Ono and others – featuring pieces made between 1959 and 2014.
Featured cover art: Joseph Beuys / Henning Christiansen – Schottische Symphonie / Requiem Of Art
