Kaunas Biennial Art Exhibition
George Maciunas and Beyond: Fluxus Never Stops
Kaunas, Lithuania

Exhibition Calendar: October 19 - 30, 2011

Gary A. Bibb has 2 artworks included in the exhibition: "Box of Crayons" and "Three Knots".

This exhibit is part of the USA government's culture week in Lithuania and celebrates the artist George Maciunas (1931 - 1978) a Lithuanian native who emigrated to the United States and was instrumental in formulating the Fluxus art concept in the early 1960's. The theme traces the influence of Fluxus art on contemporary artists in 2011.

The events of the biennial are created ... "by changing the structure, the conditions of participation, the character of exhibitions, the conception, also by involving [new] partners, curators, artists and people working in different areas of culture for a common purpose: communication through the expression of art and creative processes."
