Flux-Festival in de Kurzaal te Scheveningen.

Scheveningen.: n.p., 1964. Various sheet sizes: (33 x 16.2 cm; 24 x 23 cm; 27.5 x 16 cm; 24 x 16.5 cm).. Original flyers and programmes for one of the lesser-known Fluxus festivals: ""Flux-Festival - neueste muziek en anti-muziek - het instrumentale theater"" held at the Kurzaal Theatre in Scheveningen, near The Hague, on November 13, 1964. The festival in Scheveningen, organised by Willem de Ridder, consisted of three parts: the ""concert"" itself performed in the Kurzaal; then in the vicinity of the Kurzaal, a separate room was organised where on Friday 13 November 1964 at exactly 20.15 a second festival started behind closed doors. In some cases, the pieces in the Kurzaal and the second room run synchronously, as in the piano piece ""Half Time"" by Nam June Paik. The final part of the festival were the “street events"" taking place in the streets of Scheveningen and The Hague. These included events that sometimes took place unnoticed and that were intended for casual passers. The documents here include two copies of the programme for the festival. Twenty one different events and happenings were planned and listed on the programme including performances by Takehisa Kosugi, George Brecht, Eric Andersen, Nam June Paik, La Monte Young, Emmett Williams, Wim Schippers, Arthur Kopke, Robert Watts and others. Also present are two copies of the flyer for Bob Lens’s alarm clock performance “Wekkers”, as well as another grey sheet with textual works by Emmett Williams, Robert Watts, Eric Anderson (opus 46), and Nam June Paik. Accompanying these is a further stapled paper folder entitled “programma”, containing a printed flyer by Ludwig Gosewitz (OZUP transpo 2), and a rubber-stamped original work by Arthur Kopcke (“biting your nails? go on”).
