Fluxus infighting turned avant-garde figures against each other

Evidence

Flynt, Maciunas, and Conrad had similarly picketed Stockhausen’s April 29 appearance at Town Hall. (LeRoi Jones, invited to join them, preferred to observe from across the street.) Flynt, associated with a Trotskyist splinter group, the Workers World Party, loathed Stockhausen for his dismissal of jazz. Maciunas, as the self-chosen leader of Fluxus, claimed to oppose all art. Given the narcissism of small differences, that antipathy included not only Stockhausen but Originale director Allan Kaprow, who had cast several Fluxus artists in the show. — J.
