Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]the acquisition of the enormous Gilbert and Lila Silverman Fluxus Collection by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) should have inaugurated the assimilation of a once-radical movement into the holdings of corporate modernism. [...]it takes a considerable amount of roll-up-your-sleeves archival sifting and theoretical cogitating to even begin to make a case for Fluxus’s legibility, let alone its relevance. Harren’s methods depart significantly from those of Kotz and Robinson, who both privileged the linguistic dimension of Fluxus scores to position them as precedents to the written statements of Conceptual art, an approach that Kotz described as “reading Brecht through [Lawrence] Weiner” (“Post-Cagean Aesthetics and the ‘Event’ Score,” October 95 [Winter 2001]: 88). [...]in Filliou’s practice of incessant sociability, the diagram extends outward into the “Eternal Network,” an endless concatenation of gestures and associations held together by affinity and friendship.
