Ruben Talberg

Ruben Talberg (born 24 August 1964, in Heidelberg) is a German contemporary artist, known as »King of Flow,« founder of the Neo-Fluxus art movement and Talberg Museum, a single-artist museum in Offenbach/Main, Germany.

Work In 1995, Talberg published his Neo-Fluxus Manifesto, codifying his philosophy of "flow" inspired by Heraclitus's »Pantha rhei« ("everything flows") and DAO (Taoism) principles. His signature »Manifolds« explore flow in various dichotomies such as nature versus alchemy, asymmetry versus dynamics, Eros versus Thanatos. In 2011, Talberg launched the Talberg Museum in Offenbach/Main, Germany, one of the few single-artist museums worldwide while the artist is still alive (List_of_single-artist_museums).

According to Talberg's artist statement, his Neo-Fluxus Manifolds »express flow: manifestations of the eternal return of life and energy.«

Talberg lives and works between Heidelberg and Southern France.
