| Summary | The fluxus manifestos make an important part of its art heritage. Their author � George Maciunas � was one of the founders and leading participants in this sphere. He stated the general principles of the created by him anti-art in manifestos. Ideas of dadaism, Cage, Duchamp became a basis of fluxus. Maciunas interprets their concepts in the texts of manifestos. He finds an idea about destruction of borders between art and life, between artist and viewer, between history and daily occurrence. He fastens these contrasts with simple humour. The author of article considers unexplored questions of fluxus history. Are there the Machunas�s manifestos at the same time the manifestos of fluxus as a whole? Is the idea of fluxus developed from the first manifesto to the last manifesto? How the vanguard and postmodern features are connecting in fluxus? Some conclusions about Maciunas�s role as an organizer and impresario of the movement and about changes in fluxus after Maciunas are drawn in the end of the article. The Maciunas�s main manifestos, which are not translated into Russian, are entered into scientific discourse, and their aesthetic interpretation is given in the article. | ||
