Fluxus

Artistic movement that emerged in New York in the early 1960s. Yoko Ono is the best-known artist associated with the movement.

The work of Fluxus adherents, which includes film, music, dance, installations, and performance art as well as painting and sculpture, is characterized by a minimalist approach and a radical socio-political perspective, and may feature audience participation and mixed media.

Other Fluxus artists include the Lithuanian-born architect and designer George Maciunas (1931–78), who coined the movement's name in 1962, the German sculptor and performance artist Joseph Beuys, the Korean composer Nam June Paik, and the US composers Philip Corner and La Monte Young.

Fluxus performances took place at Maciunas's New York gallery and Yoko Ono's New York studio, in 1960–61. Maciunas published the journal Fluxus in 1961, and a manifesto in 1963.
