WELCOME

FLUX-USA was created November 11, 2008, where all FLUXUS artists could communicate with each other and the cosmos. On October 13, 2009 NEW NEW ART was added to the name for artists rising from the ashes of old school art and attitudes. "The aim of the Fluxus group was to instill artistic values into every part of life." The aim of New New Art is to uncover art/beauty in every part of life. Welcome to NEW NEW ART!!!

CHRISTINE TARANTINO / WORDS OF LIGHT
USA

flux (fluks): n. and a.1. The act of flowing; an outpouring or effusion."hence -- 2. Continual change; the mode of being of that which is instantaneous, ceasing to exist as soon as it begins to exist."

"Fluxus -- from the Latin for 'flow' or 'change' -- was the name given by the movement's principal organizer George Maciunas to a loosely-affiliated, international group of artists in the 1960s and '70s. Fluxus remains an active movement today, although with new artists and constantly evolving practices. The original Fluxus group worked across a wide range of media, including poetry, music, film, performances, and ephemeral "events," in its efforts to contest the cultural conception of what is "Art" and the prominence of the individual artist. Under Maciunas's leadership, the concept of the multiple lay at the heart of Fluxus object-making.
From posters, broadsheets, and handbills to stamps, tablecloths, playing cards, and a variety of boxed multiples, Fluxus objects continue to defy easy categorization even within the context of postwar art. In contrast to Pop Art, in which mass culture was imported into the realm of high art, Fluxus attempted the inverse: to integrate the production of art into the realm of everyday experience, often willfully pushing the distinction between the two to its breaking point. The Fluxus approach involves the design and fabrication of inexpensive, theoretically unlimited editions using commercial methods and materials. It often requires the participation of the viewer in order to complete the work."-- The Harvard University Art Museums

In keeping with the true spirit of Fluxus, with honor and respect, let us flow and evolve into a NEW NEW ART, taking the best of what we love of the original FLUXUS and moving forward and beyond toward a more intuitive, free, and aesthetically pleasing art.

All Fluxus/NEW NEW artists are invited to post their writings, asemic or otherwise, performances and object-making on FLUX-USA/NEW NEW ART. Please email tarantinochristine@yahoo.com and I will add your name to the list of contributors.
