Fluxus Films: Yoko Ono, Paul Sharits, and Others



George Maciunas, the father of the Fluxus movement, which has been referred to as “the most radical and experimental art movement of the 1960s” (Harry Ruhé), compiled Fluxfilm Anthology. This program features works by John Cale, Joe Jones, Ono, and Sharits. In addition, we are featuring two beautiful point-of-view films by Ono and John Lennon. Many of these artists are equally known for other artistic endeavors; as Dick Higgins famously wrote, “Fluxus is not a moment in history or an art movement” but “a way of doing things, a tradition, and a way of life.” 

Presented in conjunction with the gallery exhibition Fluxus Reverb. A second selection of Fluxus films will be presented on Sunday, November 6.
