Forschungs-Mittwoch #170 NOW THAT YOU'RE READY FOR THE REAL THING

The front page of a 1964 cc VTRE Fluxus newsletter contained the statement, «Now That You’re Ready for the Real Thing». The statement was followed by all manner of Fluxus event, object, and action. This talk examines the place of the real across some paradigmatic Fluxus events, kits, and actions. George Maciunas used the term «non-art reality» as nan essential component of Fluxus. This talk theorizes Fluxus multisensory aesthetics and ethics beyond the artworld while framing a few of the substantial challenges that «non-art reality» brings to Fluxus exhibition and preservation.
