From the horse's mouth (at http://www.jazzweekly.com/interviews/brotzmann.htm):
FJ: Let�s touch on your participation in the Fluxus Movement.
PETER BROTZMANN: That was built up by an American guy. His name was George Maciunas
and some American artists out of the late Fifties and early Sixties like Emmett
Williams. Maciunas was working for the army at that time in Germany and actually, the
whole, real movement started for that reason, it started in Germany in the late
Fifties and early Sixties, I think as a very important power in European and American
art. It was including all kinds from just normal paintings to prepared music things
like Nam June Paik. Nam June Paik is a video artist now days, but he started in my
hometown. It spread out all over Western Europe. I was still, at that time, a student
at the art school in Wuppertal. I was helping out and preparing and giving Nam June
Paik a hand and that was the time.
