In Memoriam to Adriano Olivetti

George Maciunas was an American artist and impresario who founded Fluxus in 1962, a radical interdisciplinary movement that rejected the autonomy of fine art in favor of performance, sound, and ephemeral interventions. Working across event scores, experimental music, printmaking, and conceptual strategies, Maciunas positioned Fluxus as a deliberately anti-art practice rooted in Dada irreverence and the social potential of artistic collaboration. His vision emphasized accessibility, humor, and the dissolution of boundaries between art and everyday life, influencing generations of postwar practitioners across multiple continents.
