Ch.3

This chapter focused on the relationship between fluxus and other art forms, for instance, pop art, conceptual art, and happening art. Higgins shows that fluxus has influence in all of these art forms. "Philip Jackson argues that to experience as art is not the same as having an artificial experience; art, after all, is itself a form of reality."I found this quote really interesting, and thought provoking. It goes along with the whole idea of the fluxus form of art is a way of experiencing the art and how it ultimately becomes a part of our reality. You can see this filter through in these other art forms. For one, in pop art Andy Warhol painted and screen printed every day objects and people, like soup cans and Marylyn Monroe.
