Fluxus (after Latin fluxus 'flow, river', to fluere 'flow, pass away') is an art movement founded by George Maciunas in which it is not the work of art that matters, but the creative idea. Fluxus became widely known in the 1960s. After Dadaism, Fluxus was the second elementary attack on the artwork in the conventional sense, which was negated and considered a bourgeois fetish.
