Performance Art Part 2

The Fluxus group was a group of artists, composers, and designers who mixed mediums and medias through out the 1960s. They created kits called Fluxus boxes which contained "scripts" or outlines of how to perform various "do it yourself" art activities. These activities were meant to blur the lines between performer and audience. Most of what they did was to mock or upset high culture.
I really like their work, in that it was created to attack high culture, something i approve of. I also like that they wanted audience members and performers to be one in the same, I believe to many people think of art as some out of reach unattainable form, but art is whatever you want it to be. I like that the Fluxus group made that evident.
