FluxBuddha: A Time-Based Performance Art Concert
FluxBuddha: A Time-Based Performance Art Concert
Held at The Rubin Museum of Art on April 21st, 2018.
Our everyday relationship with time became a subject of artistic investigation with the emergence of the Fluxus art movement in the 1960s and 1970s. Fluxus evolved to encompass an international and interdisciplinary group of artists, including Yoko Ono, Joseph Beuys, and Nam June Paik, who created time-based artworks. The movement’s deep connection to the American Zen Buddhist movement was facilitated by influential figures like John Cage, who believed one should embark on an artwork without a preconceived notion of its outcome. One might argue these Fluxus concepts are also found within the Tibetan Buddhist rituals of sand mandala and butter sculpture, which, through their creation, disrupt the same tendency to cling to time and identity. The impermanence and non-attachment that these activities promote make their creation and destruction equally important.
Conceived by professor and “Flux-Happener” Doc Kelley, FluxBuddha is an interdisciplinary performance art concert in eight parts. With experimental neuroscience interactions by Future Fellow David Eagleman, FluxBuddha was performed at the Rubin Museum in 2018.
Through live performance, notions of time and identity will be disrupted. Instructions are simple: Open mind gently. Avoid familiar thought patterns.
