Warum hat John Cage 4 33 komponiert?
Das Werk konstituiert sich somit aus zufälligen Umgebungsgeräuschen, die der Zuhörer während der Aufführung hört, auch wenn 4′33″ häufig als „Vier Minuten dreiunddreißig Sekunden“ Stille wahrgenommen wird. Laut Cage müsse die Stille neu definiert werden, um als Konzept auch weiterhin eine Bedeutung zu haben.
Für was steht Fluxus?
Fluxus (nach lateinisch fluxus ‚Fließen, Fluss‘, zu fluere ‚fließen, vergehn‘) ist eine von George Maciunas begründete Kunstrichtung, bei der es nicht auf das Kunstwerk ankommt, sondern auf die schöpferische Idee. Fluxus wurde in den 1960er Jahren weithin bekannt.
What is Fluxus and where did it come from?
The origins of Fluxus lie in many of the concepts explored by composer John Cage in his experimental music of the 1930s through the 1960s. After attending courses on Zen Buddhism taught by D. T. Suzuki, Cage taught a series of classes in experimental composition from 1957 to 1959 at the New School for Social Research in New York City.
How did John Cage influence Fluxus?
The ideas and practices of composer John Cage heavily influenced Fluxus. Especially, his notions that one should embark on an artwork without a conception of its end, and his understanding of the work as a site of interaction between artist and audience. The process of creating was privileged over the finished product.
Who was involved in the 1960s Fluxus movement?
Many artists of the 1960s took part in Fluxus activities, including Joseph Beuys, George Brecht, John Cage, Robert Filliou, Al Hansen, Dick Higgins, Bengt af Klintberg, Alison Knowles, Addi Køpcke, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, Joseph Byrd, Ben Patterson, Daniel Spoerri, Ken Friedman, and Wolf Vostell.
What is the role of the viewer in the form of Fluxus?
Fluxus art involved the viewer, relying on the element of chance to shape the ultimate outcome of the piece. The use of chance was also employed by Dada, Marcel Duchamp, and other performance art of the time, such as Happenings.
