Tucked away in an old marble factory by the Parikia harbor, you’ll find the most unexpected cultural hub in the Cyclades. This is the FluxusMuseum. Forget everything you know about sterile, quiet galleries; this is a living, breathing international art community that’s flipping the script on how we connect with art. The goal here isn’t to stand back and admire from a distance; it’s to dive in, experience, and inhabit it. The global underground has set up camp in Paros, and it’s staying until September 30, 2026.
The headline project, “Again and Again and Again: A Fluxus Reading Room,” throws the traditional museum rulebook out the window. The space is set up less like an exhibit and more like a library. You’re not just a visitor; you’re a guest. You’re encouraged to touch, handle, and dig into the archival objects and scores of the radical Fluxus movement.
In the cinema wing, we’re running the FluxFilm Anthology in collaboration with New York’s Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI). It’s a hypnotic, continuous loop of short films by icons like Yoko Ono, John Lennon, and Nam June Paik, all filmed in the 60s and 70s. By playing these on repeat, the exhibition honors the movement’s obsession with duration and repetition, blurring that line between the art on the screen and the mundane rhythms of our everyday lives.
We’re also proud to host the FluxusMuseum Prize for Experimental Video 2026, now in its third year. Out of 600 global submissions, we’ve handpicked eleven artists and collectives to fill these stone halls with their work. Whether it’s single-screen or multi-channel, the common thread here isn’t a specific topic; it’s a shared perspective. These artists turn their lens toward the margins, the things we usually overlook or leave unprotected. Their work challenges the frames we’ve been given, forcing us to stop just “watching” and start really seeing.
With its exhibition halls, cinema, and digital print workshop, the FluxusMuseum is bringing the real, gritty, innovative avant-garde to the Cyclades. This isn’t art created by a few for a few. It’s an open invitation to celebrate raw creativity and maybe, just maybe, walk away seeing the world a little differently.
