{"product_id":"the-fluxus-newspaper","title":"The Fluxus Newspaper","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product__description rte\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume collects all 11 issues of \u003cem\u003eTHE FLUXUS NEWSPAPER\u003c\/em\u003e, published by members of the avant-garde art movement Fluxus. Published between January 1964 and March 1979, the newspaper was edited by a rotating group of members of the artist collective known as the Fluxus Editorial Council for Fluxus. Every issue except the last two was designed by Fluxus founder George Maciunas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough published irregularly, the newspaper was used to promote Fluxus events and publications, especially the group’s famous multiples and \u003cem\u003eFluxkits\u003c\/em\u003e, with advertising materials, order forms, and pricelists interspersed throughout. More than just a space for promotion and information, the Fluxus newspapers featured the work of over sixty artists as well as appropriated newspaper headlines, advertisements, articles, and comic strips that are indicative of the group’s anti-art sensibility and characteristic humor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIssues of the newspaper were originally designated as cc \u003cem\u003eV TRE\u003c\/em\u003e after the earlier, one-off publication \u003cem\u003eV TR\u003c\/em\u003eE, which artist George Brecht released on occasion of the \u003cem\u003eYam Festival\u003c\/em\u003e (1963). The use of “\u003cem\u003ecc\u003c\/em\u003e” in these early issues indicated that the publication was a copy of Brecht’s original version. After the first two releases, the editors started to play with various other titles containing “\u003cem\u003eV TRE\u003c\/em\u003e,” producing issues titled cc \u003cem\u003eValise\u003c\/em\u003e e ThReE, Vacuum \u003cem\u003eTRapEzoid\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eVaseline sTREet\u003c\/em\u003e, among others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Fluxus Newspaper\u003c\/em\u003e is exemplative of the “do-it-yourself” creative attitude characteristic of Fluxus—an approach that is collaborative, interdisciplinary, anti-commercial, humorous, and open to anyone. The periodical is also an early example of the artist newspaper, a medium which grew out of the underground press movement and flourished in the late 60s and 70s as artists began to seek new mediums for presenting and distributing their work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtists featured in \u003cem\u003eThe Fluxus Newspaper\u003c\/em\u003e include: Ay-O, Carol Bergé, Joseph Beuys, Elaine Bloedow, George Brecht, Christo, Philip Corner, Walter De Maria, Willem de Ridder, Bern Erismann, Nye Ffarrabas [participating as Bici Forbes], Robert Filliou, Henry Flynt, Ken Friedman, Carolyn Krumm, Heinz Gappmayr, Eugen Gomringer, Raymond Hains, Dick Higgins, Geoffrey Hendricks, Jon Hendricks, Alice Hutchins, Tatsu Izumi, Ray Johnson, Joe Jones, Allan Kaprow, Milan Knížak, Alison Knowles, Arthur Köpcke, Takehisa Kosugi, Ruth Krauss, Philip Krumm,  György Ligeti, George Maciunas, Angus MacLise, Jackson Mac Low, Larry Miller, Peter Moore, Hans Nordenström, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, Benjamin Patterson, James Riddle, Dieter Roth, Takako Saito, Mieko Shiomi, Tomas Schmit, Daniel Spoerri, Christer Strömholm, Yasunao Tone, Stan VanDerBeek, Ben Vautier, Jacques Villeglé, Wolf Vostell, Yoshimasa Wada, Robert Watts, Emmett Williams, William S. Wilson, La Monte Young, Marian Zazeela.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFluxus was a loose international collective of artists, poets, and musicians with a shared impulse to challenge the existing conventions of art making and propose a model of how art could be part of one's life. After a series of year-long festivals in Europe between September 1962 and Summer 1963, Fluxus established its headquarters in downtown New York, and soon developed offshoot centers across the United States, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. George Maciunas acted as the spokesperson of the collective from 1962 until his premature death in 1978. He coined and employed the term Fluxus to describe the collective's wide range of activities, including performances, concerts, publications, multiples, and the founding of collective live\/work spaces for artists (Fluxhouse Cooperatives), among other things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"product__artist\"\u003eby \u003ca class=\"underline\" href=\"http:\/\/allankaprow.com\"\u003eAllan Kaprow\u003c\/a\u003e , \u003ca class=\"underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/christojeanneclaude\/\"\u003eChristo\u003c\/a\u003e , \u003ca class=\"underline\" href=\"https:\/\/dickhiggins.org\"\u003eDick Higgins\u003c\/a\u003e , \u003ca class=\"underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DT_PnAbkeLd\/\"\u003eJoseph Beuys\u003c\/a\u003e , \u003ca class=\"underline\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/intl-ja\/artist\/5h2yl4fuAyztOOBgMRyQhE\"\u003eLa Monte Young\u003c\/a\u003e , \u003ca class=\"underline\" href=\"https:\/\/njpart.ggcf.kr\"\u003eNam June Paik\u003c\/a\u003e , \u003ca class=\"underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rayjohnsonestate.com\/#2\"\u003eRay Johnson\u003c\/a\u003e , \u003ca class=\"underline\" href=\"http:\/\/www.walterdemaria.org\"\u003eWalter De Maria\u003c\/a\u003e , \u003ca class=\"underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/yokoono\/\"\u003eYoko Ono\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9798987624982\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003esoftcover\u003cbr\u003e80 pages\u003cbr\u003e267 x 356 mm\u003cbr\u003eblack and white\u003cbr\u003e2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"published_by\"\u003epublished by \u003ca class=\"underline\" href=\"https:\/\/primaryinformation.org\"\u003ePRIMARY INFORMATION\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRIMARY INFORMATION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43126223568939,"sku":null,"price":4950.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/7425\/2331\/files\/0_c3977097-3f70-4bcc-9923-b467396be0e6.webp?v=1772718890","url":"https:\/\/boogiebooks.com\/en\/products\/the-fluxus-newspaper","provider":"BOOGIE BOOKS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
