Talberg Museum

Ruben Cornelis Talberg (born 24 August 1964) is an Israeli-German sculptor. Talberg is known for his Neo-Fluxus Manifolds, which go back to his vision in Bellagio, Italy in the early 1980s. Manifolds are executed either as relief or free-standing sculpture.

Work

Talberg's oeuvre deals with antagonistic positions such as Nature & Alchemy, Asymmetry & Dynamics or Eros & Thanathos. From the beginning of 1990, he intensified his interest for Jewish mysticism and magic. His extensive travels serve as a source of inspiration, providing the foundation for his creative works,referred to as "manifolds." Talberg's life-time production is limited to 888 manifolds. His credo: "Finis Coronat Opus Magnum." In 1995, Talberg founded Neo-Fluxus, a movement rooted in his manifesto 1995. The core philosophy of Neo-Fluxus draws from Heraclitus concept of “pantha rhei - everything flows” and TAO, principles of flow, both of which are reflected in the essence of his Manifolds.

The Talberg Museum was founded in Offenbach am Main. Talberg's manifolds are represented in more than 200 public and private international collections as well as the auction trade. He participated in more than 100 international solo - and group exhibitions.

Talberg lives and works in Heidelberg, Southern France and Israel . ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}
