FLUXUS 2025 – OPEN TINY BIG

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 the unforeseen.

On Saturday and Sunday (11 & 12 October), the space opens at 11:00 AM and remains accessible until 9:00 PM (Sunday until 5:00 PM), offering time for deeper engagement. Visitors won’t find a traditional exhibition, but rather a living collage of installations, happenings, and question marks. The project space becomes a site of exchange, disruption, and collective curiosity.

Participating artists hail from “everywhere and nowhere.” Among the many voices shaping the international art scene, several stand out—not just for their work, but for their stance. Ai Weiwei, one of China’s most influential contemporary artists and activists, is known for politically charged installations like Sunflower Seeds and his contributions to documenta. His commitment to human rights and critique of power structures make him a beacon of artistic resistance.

The Mail Art and Fluxus movements have long expanded the boundaries of art. American poet and artist John M. Bennett, editor of Luna Bisonte Prods, has been a central figure in visual poetry since the 1970s. Historian and curator John Held Jr. has documented and organized exhibitions worldwide, keeping the legacy of alternative art movements alive.

David Zack’s provocative texts and subversive actions helped shape Neoism, while Japanese artist Ryosuke Cohen’s Brain Cell project has connected thousands of artists globally since the 1980s. Dutch theorist Ruud Janssen, co-founder of IUOMA, has played a key role in documenting and evolving the Mail Art movement.

In Europe, artists like Luc Fierens and Ruggero Maggi continue to make bold statements—Fierens through political collage, Maggi as curator and activist initiating international projects that center on social critique.

These artists represent a form of art that doesn’t live in galleries but thrives in networks, actions, and streams of thought—open, radical, and in constant dialogue with the world. On-site in Berlin, visitors will meet Asma Ounine, Rainer Wieczorek, and Susanne Schumacher, who dissolve the boundaries between medium and moment through sound, movement, text, and image. The project is supported by Lars Schumacher, who keeps the space deliberately open: nothing is finished, everything is possible.

Participation is welcome: bring your own event scores, spontaneous performances, or silent gestures—everything can become part of the flow. Because FLUXUS 2025 is not a finished product, but a collective process. A state between art and life.
