The Fluff Constructivists (also known as the Fluff Construct) collaborative art entity began in 1999 in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Principal members Ethan Kruszka and Mikel Bisbee-Durlam combine elements of adolescent fantasmagoria with post-situationist interventions in order to create images, scenes and experiences reminicent of travelling carnivals, regional museums and B-grade horror films. Fluff Constuctivism draws from modern strains of formalism, post-minimalism and the dangerous realm of county-fair aesthetics. The work ardently resists interpretation through a complete disavowal of institutionalized categories of contemporary art movements and instead simply asks viewers to indulge in the spectaular act of stupefied watching.
