Homo Fluxus

A journey in the early seventies, in the Bonotto’s showroom set up as a gallery, with a selection of Fluxus works from the Bonotto art collection, which are essential for the contemporary aesthetic system.

Homo Fluxus is a journey, in the early seventies, in the Bonotto’s showroom set up as a gallery, with a selection of Fluxus works from the Bonotto art collection, which are essential for the contemporary aesthetic system. The very rare videos by Jonas Mekas, images by Joseph Beuys, musical sheets by Philip Corner, and Cramps, the historical records of the Milanese avant-garde label, will dialogue with a collection designed for the needs of a new contemporary consumer, who once again turns over the formal codes and contaminates his own styles and its attitudes of life. This artistic friction pushes forward research into the fabric and creativity dystonica by Giovanni Bonotto, who meets men’s fashion for the first time.

Jonas Mekas is considered a pioneer of the American independent cinema and an important representative for all the US underground scene. His film production is characterized by a progressive interest in the experience lived in First person, using the cinema to record everyday life.
Mekas’ film-diaries contain scenes of everyday life, portraits of people who spent time with, relatives, friends, colleagues, private moments and public scenes in an extraordinary cross-section that collects decades of history of the artistic avant-gardes in the United States.

Joseph Beuys revolutionized the art of the first half of the twentieth century, like Marcel Duchamp. Joseph Beuys has been considered the benchmark after the Second World War. He constantly research a harmony between man and nature; Beuys intends art as a global expression of an ethical action that highlights the contradictions of contemporary life and brings life closer together to reality and to the world that surrounds it. The defense of nature, freedom and democracy are an integral part of his work that ranges from sculpture, to drawing, photography and above all to performance.

Philip Corner is a student composer of John Cage, pianist and visual artist in the United States, whose figure is linked to the Fluxus group.

Cramps Records was an Italian record company founded in Milan by Gianni Sassi, Sergio Albergoni and Franco Mamone, in the seventies, who availed themselves of the collaboration of Gianni-Emilio Simonetti. Characterized by a very careful editorial line, he published the first albums by Franco Battiato, Eugenio Finardi and the entire production of AREA. Authors such as Juan Hidalgo, Walter Marchetti, David Tudor and John Cage (this is the first release in the world of the famous 4’33 “composition) were published in the Nova Musicha series.
