The Fluxus self-determination
Abstract
The actual conditions and circumstances of the fluxus emergence as the direction in avant-garde art are investigated in this article. Its birth took place at the beginning of the 1960th years. But the large number of legends and inconsistent versions are connected with this fact. In addition to this fact the participants of fluxus have created a number of ironical judgments of this event. The task of this article is identification of original circumstances of this event on a material of a number of sources, among which are G. Maciunas letters and other documents of that period.
