1993 01:16:00 United StatesEnglishColorStereo4:3Video

Description

Lars Movin presents a video portrait of artists who have radically disrupted our conception of art since the 1960s. A large part of the video was made in Venice in 1990, when many of the original Fluxus artists met to hold a large exhibition in connection with the Biennale. The tape includes interviews with most of the leading Fluxus artists, documentation of their works, and clips from videos and films made during the 30 years of this ungovernable art form. With Eric Anderson, Philip Corner, Henry Flynt, Ken Friedman, Alison Knowles, Jonas Mekas, Yoko Ono, John Cage, Joseph Beuys, Geoffrey Hendricks, and many more.
