An evening with Fluxus women: a roundtable discussion

In this roundtable discussion, hosted at New York University (19 February 2009, 7:00–8:30 p.m.) by Women & Performance: a journal of feminist theory and the Department of Performance Studies, the participants discuss how they came to and experienced the Fluxus art movement. Topics range from the availability of space in New York City during the 1960s and the formation of artistic communities, to the role of food in Fluxus art and social circles and the question of gender specificity in Fluxus works. The participants also discuss several particular Fluxus works and flesh out the contexts in which these works were produced and received.
