Vision | Manifolds
“I was about 20 when I was struck with a vision in Bellagio, Italy where I had discovered some life-sized sculptures wrapped in tunica folds. It hit me like a blitz as I had this déjà-vue, a flashback into my childhood, being wrapped in folds of soft fabrics, hold by my parents, re-experiencing for a brief moment those profound flows of warmth, energy and love.
There is something really deep and humane about these original experiences most of us had as tiny humane beings. From that time on I became obsessed with folds and searched for ways to express these primordial experiences in my Neo-Fluxus,” recounts Talberg.
1986 Talberg had his first solo-show. Today, more than 30 years later Talberg not only survived the art game but is in demand more than ever (wait list). His Neo-Fluxus is limited to 888 original Manifolds and protected by US Intellectual Property Rights.
Talberg’s credo: Finis Coronat Opus Magnum (FCOM).

Talberg | Neo-Fluxus
Ruben Talberg is currently based in Southern France.
As one of the significant artists of his generation, Talberg's oeuvre is represented in over 200 prestigious private and public art collections. The list of collectors reads like a Who's Who of the international art world, including celebs like A. Winehouse, K. Reeves, Y. S. Laurent, K. Lagerfeld.
Talberg's Manifolds appeared in over 100 international group and solo exhibitions.
Talberg wrote art history when he founded Neo-Fluxus, which is based on his Neo-Fluxus manifesto 1995. The core ideas originate in Heraclitus pantha rhei - everything flows and TAO, the philosophy of flow, which also holds true for his Manifolds.
In 2011 he launched Talberg Museum, Europe’s most visionary Sculptor Museum.
As F. Nietzsche said: ”Art is the supreme task and the truly metaphysical activity in this life. Real success of an artist can only be measured by how far he was able to realize his artistic vision.”
By coincidence György Ligeti was all the same fascinated by a similar concept - only in the sphere of contemporary music. Ligeti: “I am really interested in the polyphony of different, subordinated, superordinated or equal layers … it is the polyphonic pieces that really delight me. This is it what I want to explore: A new polyphony.”
What are Talberg’s Neo-Fluxus Manifolds other than Ligeti’s polyphony, only transposed into the realm of sculpture.
“There is a huge market potential for Talberg's 888 Neo-Fluxus manifolds. You only have to realize it.”
