Fluxus

Like many others, I had never heard of the term Fluxus before. It was interesting to learn more about this art form. Higgins says that Fluxus was a popular movement in the 1960s and 1970s so I was excited to read about it since the 1960s are my favorite decade and I think that some of the most inspirational art came of that decade. Higgins said that abstract expressionism was a sort of performance that was dedicated to exploring day-to-day reality. The little things that happen every day are the most important because they are normally things that no one pays attention to. The fact that these artists brought these images forward is intriguing.
