Dear All,

A marvellous new book on Fluxus has been published open access by Routledge. It
is

Activating Fluxus, Expanding Conservation, edited by Hanna Hölling, Aga
Wielocha, and Josephine Ellis.

You can download a copy here:

https://spaces.hightail.com/receive/iCLHNfXVGD

Libraries are free to place it on their servers, and everyone is welcome to
share it widely.

About the book:

This is the first book to address the care and preservation of Fluxus works,
reimagining the afterlife of Fluxus by positioning conservation as an evolving,
interpretive and generative framework.

Fluxus radically transformed artistic practice by challenging the entrenched
preconception that artworks endure, unchanged and confined to a singular
physical manifestation. Moving beyond conventional, object-based approaches,
this interdisciplinary volume brings together artists, scholars, conservators
and curators from diverse cultural and theoretical perspectives to explore how
the ephemeral, participatory and intermedial forms of Fluxus demand an expanded
vision of conservation—one grounded in activation. By reframing conservation as
a critical, decolonial and creative inquiry, Activating Fluxus, Expanding
Conservation redefines Fluxus as a living force continually remade through acts
of care, interpretation and participation. It ultimately calls for a fundamental
shift in how we preserve, interpret and transmit the experimental art practices
of the recent past.

Offering fresh ways to engage with the legacy of Fluxus through the intersecting
lenses of conservation, art history, performance studies and museology, this
book will appeal to academics and students across these fields, as well as to
curators and practitioners invested in the futures of contemporary art.

A wonderful book. Worth reading!

Yours,

Ken Friedman
