Talberg Museum

Ruben Talberg (born 24 August 1964) is a German contemporary artist and founder of the Neo-Fluxus art movement, which originated in his vision developed in Bellagio, Italy, in the mid-1980s. Neo-Fluxus manifests in the form of manifolds, which are executed as reliefs or sculptures.

Work

Talberg’s oeuvre engages with antagonistic positions such as nature and alchemy, asymmetry and dynamics, Eros and Thanatos. In the early 1990s he worked as an assistant to Emil Schumacher and Antoni Tàpies. In 1995 he published the Neo-Fluxus Manifesto, articulating a philosophy of flow influenced by Heraclitus’s dictum Panta Rhei (“everything flows”) and Taoist principles. This philosophy underpins the development of his manifolds.

His extensive travels have served as an important source of inspiration. In 2023–2024 Talberg created the digital series 888 Manifolds. His personal credo: “Finis coronat Opus Magnum.”

The Talberg Museum was established in Offenbach, Main in 2011. His works are represented in more than 200 public and private collections internationally and have been included in the auction trade. Talberg has participated in over 100 solo and group exhibitions worldwide. Since 1992 he is a notable member of Mensa International, the high IQ society.

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