Something that’s been in my ‘to investigate’ pile for a while, from 25 June to 13 July Vivid present FLUX-FEST, a season of events celebrating the spirit of Fluxus which, if you’ve not come across it before (like me), emerged as a reaction to the high-art of the 60’s. The emphasis is therefore on fun and frolics and will feature rare film, food, music, performance and miscellany.
So what’s happening?
- On 25 June there’s a dumpling party from 6pm to 8pm at Vivid
- Ensemble Interakt and a.a.s. present Re:Flux at St Paul’s Church on 27 June from 5pm to 9pm
- 7 Inch Cinema present Flummoxed at The Rainbow on 3 July
And there are all sorts of other things too. Check the Vivid website for more. Most of the events are either free or dirt cheap so it’s a ‘no excuse not to’ kinda situation.
**UPDATE**
The launch party will take place between 8pm and 10.30pm and will include a dumpling party hosted by artist Feng-Ru Lee in addition to three performances by Sean Carrillo and Bibbe Hansen (daughter of Al Hansen).
To make these performances work, we need your help:
CARS: VIVID needs your car from 7pm – any make, model, size, or colour. In fact, the more variety the better!
TOYS: bring your squeezy, squishy, spinny, turny, and noisy toy to be part of this original Fluxus ‘Happening’!
