FLUXUS.GRAM – EVENT & EXHIBITION PROGRAM        

                 

28 Feb 2026, 1 PM – 6 PM

The event and exhibition at Cabaret Voltaire mark the artistic culmination of the SNSF research project Activating Fluxus and the conclusion of the three-day Fluxus Fête—a celebration of Fluxus’ radical, playful and transformative spirit.
On view is a curated selection of Fluxus scores from FLUXUS.GRAM, spanning both historical Fluxus texts and contemporary contributions created in the spirit of Fluxus and gathered over the past months. Throughout the afternoon, we will activate selected scores live—sometimes guided by the artists themselves, sometimes with the spontaneous participation of the audience. A dedicated program segment reflects on historical Fluxus positions and their most recent resonances and successor projects.  The event concludes with an open stage, inviting further interventions, actions, and unexpected moments. 
Documentation of all score activations will become part of the growing FLUXUS.GRAM score collection (IG: @fluxus.gram).
