Fluxus in Detroit - Alison Knowles and In-Flux

Alison Knowles is one of the founders of the Fluxus movement, creating performances and installations throughout the U.S., Europe, and Asia from the 1960s to the present. She has been an important contributor to the development of intermedia, performance art, and experimental books. Knowles will install her paper musical instruments. Her performance will involve her work with ordinary objects and contain elements generated in a workshop with students.

In exhibition in a separate space in the gallery, In Flux will present artists from the Detroit region working in the Fluxus spirit. The participating artists are Jef Bourgeau, Rose E. Desloover, Phaedra Robinson, and Brian Schorn. DeSloover's work involves interactions of common objects with the observer. Robinson works with visualized sound and surreal transformations of the commonplace. Bourgeau and Schorn incorporate sound video and technology in their works.
