In cooperation with the Hessian state capital, Nassauischer Kunstverein Wiesbaden has been awarding the scholarship “Follow Fluxus: After Fluxus” annually since 2008. With seventeen artists already supported, the aim of the scholarship is to promote international creators whose work connects with the trans national, multicultural and interdisciplinary art movement Fluxus. The legendary event series “Fluxus Internationale Festspiele Neuester Musik” laid a central cornerstone in 1962 in Wiesbaden for the still ongoing international reception of Fluxus.
„Fluxus Wiesbaden was the most ambitious project of all. It lasted one month with three, four, or five performances taking place every weekend. The other festivals were smaller. The best thing about Wiesbaden was that we didn’t need to worry about time - we could work on incredibly long pieces that wouldn’t have fit into other festivals.(...)“
