The Limits of Art (Identity and Modermity)
Institut Français, Budapest, 24.09.1993
So the bars that close me up are my self-identity, and it’s perfectly normal if I am against them. I can also see the self-identities of all the other artists, so indirectly. I'm addressing them as well when I say:
The self, the ego, must be changed in order for art to change. (Ben Vautier)

****************
accompanying event:
Fluxus Film Anthology. George Maciunas' flying circus
Lecture/event with film excerpts organised by the Artpool Foundation
2023. szeptember 27., 17:00
Maciunas, the director of the Fluxus group, collected all the humorous videos of the time - sometimes only a few seconds - from his friends and made a selection of them, from which we have selected an edition and other Fluxus film material collected by Artpool.
The one-hour presentation will include short, few-second films or extracts from world-famous filmmakers such as George Maciunas, George Brecht, Joe Jones, Yoko Ono, Ben Vautier, Robert Watts, etc.
ATTENTION!
Most of the projected films were made in 1966!
Some people find their modern design difficult to tolerate.
The films are selected and the event will be introduced / commented by Viktor Kotun
