Camp?
Some definitions of "camp" -- from Websters
: A place usually away from urban areas where tents or simple buildings (such as cabins) are erected for shelter or for temporary residence (as for laborers, prisoners, or vacationers)
: a group of tents, cabins, or huts
: a place usually in the country for recreation or instruction often during the summer
: Something so outrageously artificial, affected, inappropriate, or out-of-date as to be considered amusing. For example,'This version of the play is camp,' outrageous in concept and wild in its execution with double entendres flying every which way. Well ... maybe, sometimes, Camp Fluxus can be just a little campy.
Fluxus?
Some definitions of "fluxus"
: Fluxus is an international avant-garde collective or network of artists and composers founded in the 1960s and still continuing today. (Tate Modern)
: From its beginning, Fluxus fused conceptual art, minimalism, new music, poetry, and chance-based work into an intermedia phenomenon, identifiable more through its irreverent attitude toward art than through the use of any distinct style. Utilizing humour—in the spirit of Dada—and everyday materials and experiences, Fluxus creates original and often surprising objects and events. (Britannica)
