This is a recent performance piece, partly influenced by my interest in FLUXUS performance work, as seen in the FLUXUS workbook - they are often humorous, spontaneous and very simple, for example Joe Jones' Piece for Winds.
In producing Kicking..., I wanted to adhere to these FLUXUS philosophies...
...as well as continuing to explore common themes within my work such as repetition, boredom and the relationship between artist and public space.
- Fluxus is an attitude. It is not a movement or a style
- Fluxus is intermedia. Fluxus creators like to see what happens when different media intersect. They use found and everyday objects, sounds, images, and texts to create new combinations of objects, sounds, images, and texts.
- Fluxus works are simple. The art is small, the texts are short, and the performances are brief.
- Fluxus is fun. Humor has always been an important element in Fluxus
...as well as continuing to explore common themes within my work such as repetition, boredom and the relationship between artist and public space.
