“WHAT DOES FLUXES HAVE TO DO WITH IT” by Raphael Montañez Ortiz, March 27, 2013

Raphael Montañez Ortíz invites Boston-area performance artists, students and the audience to engage in a new performance, “WHAT DOES FLUXES HAVE TO DO WITH IT,” 2013, followed by a video screening of rarely seen works. Since the late 1950s, Ortiz has directly engaged with the violent and destructive tendencies of society through found objects and action-based art. A veteran of Fluxus and the Destruction Art movement of the 1960s, Ortiz is best known for his piano destruction concerts beginning in the 1960s, but his practice is multimedia and interdisciplinary.
