FLUXUS 2025 – OPEN TINY BIG -  Art as a State of Being, Not an Exhibition Berlin, October 2025. Between Sonnenallee and Karl-Marx-Straße—where everyday life pulses and the city reveals its raw, poetic sides—a space opened for three days that was anything but ordinary: the OPEN TINY KIEZKIOSK at Treptower Straße 84 became the stage for a state of artistic exception—FLUXUS 2025 & COLLAGE – OPEN TINY BIG. What happened here wasn’t an exhibition. It was a state. A flow. An invitation to think, feel, and co-create. Around 50 visitors—including artists, writers, cultural managers, and art-loving flâneurs—found their way into this temporary resonance space, which defied the conventions of the art world and instead celebrated the unfinished, the spontaneous, and the processual. From Chicago to Hannover to Berlin – A Movement in Motion Back in August, FLUXUS 2025 had already dissolved boundaries between performance, dance, and visual art at an interdisciplinary festival in Chicago.

FLUXUS 2025 – OPEN TINY BIG: Art as a State, Not a Show Berlin, October 2025 In a time when art is often confined by formats and institutional frameworks, a space in Berlin’s Harzer Kiez opens itself to the opposite: “OPEN TINY BIG – FLUXUS 2025 & COLLAGE” is not a conventional exhibition—it’s a state of being. A spark. A contradiction. From 10 to 12 October 2025, the OPEN TINY KIEZKIOSK at Treptower Straße 84 becomes the site of an artistic experiment dedicated to the spirit of Fluxus: radically open, fluid, and unfinished. The event begins on Friday, 10 October at 6:00 PM with a ceremonial opening led by Susanne Schumacher, whose work across text, sound, and performance has made her a vital voice in the experimental arts. She is followed by Rainer Wieczorek—artist, sociologist, and self-proclaimed DADAsoph—whose art performance challenges conventions and invites the unexpected.  The evening continues until 9:00 PM with interventions, spontaneous actions, and encounters with t...

Message in a Bottle – Mail Art Exhibition

Message in a Bottle –  WERK 2, Leipzig 8 September – 21 November 2025 What happens when the romantic idea of a drifting bottle becomes a global art movement? The Leipzig-based printmaker etcetera23 (André Radke) turns the concept of the traditional message in a bottle on its head: instead of casting messages into the sea, he invites artists worldwide to send their thoughts, dreams, and provocations via postcard. The result is “Message in a Bottle,” a vibrant mail art exhibition hosted by the Grafikdruckwerkstatt at WERK 2 in Leipzig. With over 350 original works submitted by 280 artists from 35 countries, the show celebrates the power of analog communication in a digital age. Each piece—created using techniques like linocut, etching, letterpress, and riso—explores the poetic tension between sender and unknown recipient. Inspired by historical figures like oceanographer Georg Neumayer, who used bottle messages to study sea currents, and literary icons such as Astrid Lindgren and Edg...
