Documenta fifteen
Jun 18, 2022 - Sep 25, 2022. Due to anti-Semitic resentments inside the curatorial body of Documenta, Talberg Museum's application to participate was not deemed worthy of consideration.
Nevertheless - in the same time frame - Talberg Museum staged "A Neo-Fluxus walk down Wall Street", featuring Talberg's new Neo-Fluxus Designs (NFDs).

Alongside his role with Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo, Bacs has raised over CHF 50 Million for countless Non-profits worldwide.
It is his & Talberg's honor to support the International Foundation at Geneva, auctioning a Neo-Fluxus relief created by Talberg.
La vente aux enchères à Genève en faveur de la Fondation a été un grand succès, grâce au commissaire-priseur vedette Aurel Bacs de Phillips, Londres.
Ruben Talberg expose pour la première fois à l’âge de 22 ans. Plus de 30 ans plus tard, il a non seulement survecu au jeu de l'art, mais il est plus demandé que jamais.
Son Neo-Fluxus est limité à 888 manifolds originaux et protégé par des droits de propriété intellectuelle américains. Il est l’un des artistes les plus importants de sa génération et son œuvre est présente dans quelque 200 collections d’art privées et publiques. La liste de ses collectionneurs se lit comme un Who’s Who du monde de l’art, avec des célébrités comme Amy Winehouse, Keanu Reeves, Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld et bien d’autres encore.
Les sculptures et reliefs de Talberg ont été présentées dans plus de 100 expositions internationales à ce jour. En 2011, il inaugurait Talberg Museum « le musée du sculpteur juif le plus visionnaire d’Europe ». Les idées centrales proviennent d'Héraclite "pantha rhei - tout coule" et de TAO, la philosophie du flux, qui s'appliquent également à ses Manifolds.
“This is the intuitive perception of Heraclitus, there is no thing of which we may say, "it is." He rejects Being. He knows only Becoming, the flowing (manifolds). He considers belief in something persistent as error and foolishness. To this he adds this thought: that which becomes is one thing in eternal transformation, and the law of this eternal transformation, the Logos in all things, is precisely this One: fire.”
— F. Nietzsche

Talberg’s Neo-Fluxus Manifolds
Chabad & Talberg
Greeting by Rav Menachem Mendel Gurewitz
10 yr Talberg Museum | 1700 yr Jewish Life in Germany
First of all I would like to congratulate Ruben Talberg for his extraordinary artistic achievements as a sculptor of international standing. Talberg Museum is Europe’s most visionary Jewish Sculptor Museum.
According to art theory Talberg founded Neo-Fluxus, which is based on his manifesto 1995. The core ideas originate in Heraclitus “pantha rhei - everything flows” and TAO, the philosophy of flux, which also holds true for his Manifolds.
This year Talberg Museum celebrates its 10th anniversary and is official partner of the grand festival “1700 years of Jewish Life in Germany, under the auspices of Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the president of Germany.
Offenbach as the current location of Talberg Museum may seem at first glance unusual, but it has a long history of Jewish life, notably Salomon Formstecher, Max Dienemann and Dr. Siegfried Guggenheim, art collector who survived the holocaust.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, one of the most eminent and influential Jewish leaders of the 20th century said, that divinely gifted sculptors have the privilege of being able to convert inanimate materials such as stone, wood or clay into breathing living forms ...
10 yr Talberg Museum
Greeting by Dr. Felix Schwenke
Offenbach as a location for art and culture profits strongly from its vividness and diversity. It goes without saying that projects and institutions that are characterized by a distinct ambition, passion and quality could make or break the charisma of this extraordinary city.
A very distinguished institution that withstood the tests of time, is celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2021: Talberg Museum is as an extremely sophisticated art venture as well as a Jewish place.
Very appropriate and desirable that Talberg Museum is official partner of this year’s grand festival “1700 years of Jewish life in Germany”, under the auspices of Frank-Walter Steinmeier, president of Germany.
As if the artist had already planned this big coincidence of dates ten years in advance. Of course that was not the case - Talberg ingeniously created an art space for his Manifolds at the right moment.
The building itself is one of the many smaller old factory sets in the backyards of old Offenbach. Talberg transformed it into a gem and at the same time upgraded the backyard location into an oasis of art. Not for nothing, Talberg Museum is Europe’s most visionary Jewish sculptor museum.
Talberg truly created a unique art refuge that should continually be experienced here, even though his Manifolds are predominantly in a transitory status - more than 200 art collectors worldwide now own one or more of his Manifolds. Manifolds are reliefs or sculptures that Talberg developed from a vision in Belaggio, Italy in the 1990s. He intents to create a grand total of 888 Manifolds - his lucky number ...

German Television - 3sat (ARD/ZDF)
ZDF/3sat produced a documentary about Talberg which was initially broadcasted on August 24th, 2016 (Talberg’s birthday). With Vladimir Kaminer. Media coverage in Germany, Austria and Switzerland cumulatively reached more than two million viewers / press readers in the first year. Reruns every year.
V. Kaminer: "When I visited Talberg Museum, Talberg's manifolds took hold of me like some magic spell. Basic materials morph into transcendental panoramas, called Neo-Fluxus. Assuming that in about 1.000 years alien archeologists land on our planet to excavate our cultural treasures they will surely recognize Talberg's manifolds as the most mysterious climax of human civilization. What do flow, DAO and Neo-Fluxus have in common? The aliens will certainly break their heads over it - provided they still have one.

Yoram Ben Zeev
His Excellency Israeli Ambassador to Germany, addresses the public:
"Ruben Talberg is known to be an outstanding Israeli artist - and a dedicated Zionist. As founder of Neo-Fluxus, Talberg pursues his vision of creating 888 manifolds - according to the age-old alchemic dreams of transforming and purifying materials, finally converting them into gold.
We as Jews know that living in exile is more often than not a delicate act of balance. But I have no doubt in my mind that Talberg will succeed in his challenging quest ahead; that we may see him - the sooner the better - next year in Jerusalem!"

“For Talberg creating his Neo-Fluxus reliefs & sculptures is like a riddle constantly readdressed but never solved - eternal work in progress. You can feel an implicit tension in his works between what he sees as the intrinsic conservatism of his traditional media and his own artistic vision. He employs a 12-step alchemic process which transfers the Prima Materia into Higher Beings." - S. Gambino, New York
