FLUXCONCERT
Five simultaneous instruction-based performances overlapped and wove together to develop an oblique exploration of love, loss, and the ambiguities of human bonding.
Written by FLUXCONCERT founder Perry Garvin, a total of 71 performances occurred simultaneously in 48 minutes, overlapping according to the following struct...ure:
- An action occurs every 1 minute for a total of 48
- An action occurs every 3 minutes for a total of 16
- An action occurs every 12 minutes for a total of 4
- An action occurs every 24 minutes for a total of 2
- An action occurs every 48 minutes for a total of 1
Each action was different, generated according to concise textual instructions. Each of the five performances developed individually and in aggregate to present a quasi-narrative rumination on human emotion.
The performance drew on the legacies of Fluxus event scores and Conceptual Art to generate an evening of ambiguity, improvisation, and absurdist performance.
FLUXCONCERT 20080925-27 was accompanied by a collectible poster-sized program designed by David Rager graphically articulating each performance action and explaining the overall structure guiding the show. To order a poster, email info (at) fluxconcert.org.
FLUXCONCERT 20080925-27 was performed by Anthony P. Clune, Ryan Anthony Donaldson, Joseph Gross, Rick Herron, Ben Kerrick, Paul Moreno, and Ethan Wagner. Written and directed by Perry Garvin.

Performers from the group FLUXCONCERT will debut "Floor Coverings" written by FLUXCONCERT founder Perry Garvin in 2009. The new work instructs performers: "Cover the floor of a room in blue painter's tape."
Over the course of the two hours, the three FLUXCONCERT performers produce the piece by following the instructions... and covering the floor of the gallery in which they are performing in blue painter's tape. The performance will end when the floor is covered or when the time has elapsed - whichever comes first.
FLUXCONCERT 20090910 is performed by Ryan Anthony Donaldson, Perry Garvin and Ben Kerrick. Organized by Perry Garvin.

FLUXCONCERT 20090220-21 was a two-evening performance of histo...ric Fluxus event scores written by Fluxus pioneer George Brecht.
The show presented more than 30 historic performance scripts over the course of two nights written by George Brecht between 1959 and 1966 - many rarely seen in the United States. Brecht introduced the concept of the event score: a performance script that is usually only a few lines long consisting of descriptions of actions to be performed rather than dialogue.
In tribute to Brecht’s recent passing, the evening’s show breathed new life into these historic scripts ranging from early seminal pieces (Drip Music, Word Event) from his artist book “Water Yam” to later collaborative endeavors with Robert Filliou from their publication “Games at the Cedilla.”
Following were three examples composed by Brecht and were performed in the show:
"Drip Music" (1959)
For single or multiple performance. A source of dripping water and an empty vessel are arranged so that the water falls into the vessel.
"Three Aqueous Events" (1961)
ice
water
steam
"For a Drummer, Fluxversion 2" (1966)
Performer drums with sticks over a leaking feather pillow making the feathers escape the pillow.
FLUXCONCERT 20090220-21 was performed by Anthony P. Clune, Andrew Dickerson, Ryan Anthony Donaldson, Perry Garvin, Joseph Gross, Rick Herron, Ben Kerrick, Joshua Rubin, and Ethan Wagner. Organized and conducted by Perry Garvin.
