Fluxus 2025 & Collage – OPEN TINY BIG

[Lars Schumacher]

OPEN TINY BIG: Fluxus Reimagined in Berlin’s Avant-Garde Laboratory

From October 10–12, 2025, Berlin’s Open Tiny space will host Fluxus 2025 & Collage – OPEN TINY BIG, a three-day artistic convergence that reactivates the radical spirit of the Fluxus movement for a contemporary audience. Following celebrated iterations in Chicago and Hannover, the Berlin edition positions itself not merely as a festival, but as a living experiment in collective authorship, artistic spontaneity, and interdisciplinary dialogue.

 

Curated by Lars Schumacher, with contributions from Asma Ounine, Susanne Schumacher, and Rainer Wieczorek, the event unfolds as a dynamic interplay of performance, sound, text, and visual collage. At its core lies the concept of the Event Score—a performative script open to interpretation, inviting artists and audiences alike to engage, disrupt, and co-create.

 

In an era increasingly defined by algorithmic curation and digital detachment, OPEN TINY BIG offers a counterpoint: a space where art is not consumed but enacted, where meaning emerges through interaction rather than instruction. The event’s open call for contributions underscores its democratic ethos, echoing the original Fluxus ideal that art belongs to everyone—and can be made by anyone.

 

What makes this iteration particularly resonant is its embrace of the unfinished and the ephemeral. Rather than polished spectacle, the festival celebrates the raw, the playful, and the unexpected. It is precisely this refusal to conform to institutional norms that renders Fluxus 2025 so vital today. In a cultural landscape often dominated by commodification and spectacle, OPEN TINY BIG insists on art as process, as dialogue, as lived experience.

 

Berlin, long a crucible for experimental art, provides fertile ground for such a happening. At Open Tiny, the boundaries between artist and audience, performer and observer, dissolve—reminding us that the most urgent art is not what hangs on walls, but what unfolds in real time, between people.
