An exhibition celebrating fifty years of Fluxus – an international network of avant-garde intermedia artists, composers and designers active from the early 1960s to the late 1970s – opened at Koerner Library on Friday, October 5 as part of the Art in the Library project.
The exhibition, titled Fiftieth Anniversary of Fluxus, features collages, books, prints and other found objects and ephemera. Fluxus – which comes from the Latin word “to flow” – is an international network of avant-garde intermedia artists, which includes music, performance, poetry and typography.

This work is part of Art in the Library, a collaborative project initiated in 2008 by the Belkin Art Gallery and Koerner Library to bring art to the UBC community. The program aims to open possibilities for interpretation and to create new perspectives from where to experience contemporary art. In its first four years, ten exhibitions were presented at Koerner Library. The program is made possible by the generous support of the Audain Foundation.
