Deuren open 21:00“Traitor, you left Fluxus”
An event on the spectre of dadaism and fluxus — the influence of anti-art in contemporary music.
“Traitor, You Left Fluxus” was directed towards Nam June Paik, written on a postcard, signed by the inventor of the word “fluxus”. This witticism grasped aggressive and to the point the whole idea of a movement. Fluxus and dada were declared dead a while ago, a logic step for anti-art to abolish itself on the moment it becomes art — as a amorphous ‘trickster’ that disappears on the moment you can see him.
A couple of decades later, they remain strong tools to pursue freedom. Freedom... Another ghost condemned to fail, but will appear in all its poetic beauty during a happening in ExtraCity.
