In November of 1968, Brian Lane, a little-known London artist with extensive contacts to the international neo-avant-garde, came to the small Welsh seaside town of Aberystwyth to stage a three-day programme of experimental art. Among the events was Lane’s Fluxconcert by and for Fluxus, featuring now classic Fluxus scores by artists including George Maciunas, George Brecht, Ben Vautier, Robert Watts and Mieko Shiomi. The article recounts the various efforts the researcher undertook to find out more about Aberystwyth’s Fluxus past, culminating in a reenactment of the original concert exactly forty years later.
