"Fluxus 2025 – “Ja, dann ist das so!


"Fluxus 2025 – “Ja, dann ist das so!” An exhibition between Chicago and Hanover – a state in flux.

Fluxus is more than an art term – it is an attitude, an impulse, a contradiction to the established. Since the early 1960s, Fluxus has stood for the dissolution of boundaries: between art forms, between artists and audiences, between art and life itself. The term, coined by George Maciunas, means “to flow” – and this principle runs through both the history and the present of the movement.

Following the powerful presentation in Chicago in August 2025, where the Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble became a stage for installations, performances, and interactive moments, the journey of Fluxus continues in Hanover. On September 6 and 7, 2025, the Kunst & Musik Etage Hannover will open its doors for the exhibition “Fluxus 2025 – Ja, dann ist das so!”, initiated by Lars Schumacher and presented as part of the renowned ZINNOBER Art Festival.

What began in Chicago as “An Installation, A happening, A question mark” becomes a new state in Hanover: Not an exhibition. Not a museum. Not even art. Rather, a space for movement, for vibration, for the unfinished. Over 180 contributions from artists around the world form this installation – works that resist commercialization, celebrate the ephemeral, and invite the audience to become co-creators.

The exhibition is both a continuation and a transformation of the original Fluxus idea. Inspired by historical figures such as Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, Joseph Beuys, and Ben Patterson, the participating artists draw on principles like interdisciplinarity, humor, process-oriented creation, and social sculpture. What emerges is not a finished work, but an open space for encounter and friction.

The connection between Germany and the USA plays a central role. As early as the 1960s, Maciunas organized Fluxfests in Wiesbaden, Wuppertal, and other European cities – with artists such as Alison Knowles, Dick Higgins, and Wolf Vostell. Today, more than 60 years later, this transatlantic idea lives on: The exhibition in Hanover is part of an international dialogue, inviting artists to engage with Fluxus and submit new works. The first presentation took place on August 1 in Chicago, with further stations to follow.

“Ja, dann ist das so!” – this title is not resignation, but an open statement. It invites us to accept the unpredictable, to celebrate the unfinished, and to honor the momentary. The exhibition in Hanover is a place where nothing needs to be perfect – and therein lies its strength.

Visitors are warmly invited to become part of this flow on Saturday, September 6, and Sunday, September 7, 2025, from 12:00 to 7:00 PM at the Kunst & Musik Etage Hannover (Vahrenwalder Straße 213). The venue is easily accessible via tram line 1 toward Langenhagen, stop: Windausstraße – and from there, into a world that cannot be explained, only experienced.


FLUXUS 2025 – “Ja, dann ist das so!” An exhibition. An impulse. A contradiction. Not an exhibition. Not a museum. Not art. A state. A flow. A moment.

International Festival of Visual Arts in Częstochowa and Zawiercie, Poland

International Festival of Visual Arts in Częstochowa and Zawiercie, Poland In a world overflowing with digital stimuli, Mail Art feels like a poetic relic—and yet, it’s more relevant than ever. At this year’s International Festival of Visual Arts "PO – Bridges of Multiculturalism", held in Częstochowa and Zawiercie, Mail Art plays a special role: as a medium of connection, a creative letter between cultures, and a quiet protest against forgetting. What is Mail Art?  Mail Art—also known as postal art—is a form of artistic expression that began in the 1960s. It’s not just about the artwork itself, but about the act of sending, sharing, and communicating. In an age of algorithms and automated messages, Mail Art is a deeply human gesture. Mail Art at the Festival: Paper Bridges As part of PO-MOSTY 2025, an international Mail Art project was launched, inviting artists from over 40 countries to send their works by mail. These include collages, drawings, texts, and photographs. The ...

New Horizons unfolds as a transcontinental meeting point where contemporary artistic practice becomes a catalyst for cultural understanding and shared imagination. Under the curatorial direction of Dr. Müberra Bülbül and the coordination of Davaasambuu Batnasan, the exhibition and symposium held on 8–9 July 2026 at the Mongol Art Gallery in Ulaanbaatar bring together artists from Asia and Europe to explore how artistic expression can transcend borders and open new spaces of dialogue.

Section 7: The Morpheusz Gallery

Image
Section 7: The Morpheusz Gallery Section 7 of the Morpheusz Gallery, where the exhibition Sör és kenyér (Beer and Bread) is being held, occupies a distinct part of the Podmaniczky Castle. Today, it serves as a temporary art space—an evolving venue for contemporary expression. While there is no specific historical documentation of “Section 7” as an independent entity, its current role symbolizes the cultural revival of the castle itself. The Morpheusz Gallery is more than a physical location; it is a curatorial concept devoted to transformation, metamorphosis, and artistic reflection—true to the spirit of its namesake, Morpheus, the god of dreams. Section 7 thus becomes not merely a room, but a framework where contemporary art engages in dialogue with historical architecture. A Castle of Many Lives The Podmaniczky–Széchényi Castle was built in the late 18th century by Podmaniczky II. Sándor and his wife Wartensleben Klára. It rose on the foundations of a former agricultural building an...
