This page needs to be worked on in conjunction with the generic Fluxus entry.
It was a bit too bold to claim Rutgers as "arguably the birthplace of Fluxus" despite the importance of Rutgers to Fluxus history. Most of Fluxus has happened ouside of the academic world and much of the movement considered (and still considers) itself as being contrary to institutional art of all kinds (even institutional anti-art).Arevich 19:39, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Merge?
editShould this just be merged into Fluxus? RJFJR (talk) 19:12, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
Yes, it should be merged. It is historical revisionism to associate Fluxus with the university, as you can see the list of Fluxus people under the main entry is much broader than those affiliated with the New Jersey group or cluster—which was undeniably important but not definitive. Despite the plain fact that Kaprow was expelled from Rutgers by 1961, and so much of what happened occurred afterward, and in New York City, it seems odd to have a separate entry. Also, it makes little sense for it to be under a music link. As noted, Fluxus was about as anti-institutionial as you could get. I am not sure why the deletion nomination was withdrawn in 2008.
