Summary/Abstract: The German artist Wolf Vostell launched Fluxus Zug in 1981. While Vostell understood the artwork to be a travelling happening and an unconventional academy, I will present Fluxus Zug additionally to have been a conceptual, albeit temporary, museum that signified the changing cultural conceptions of history, as well as an alternative, conceptual archive, which Vostell manipulated with the aim of reviving and commenting on the troubled relationship between history, memory, and the Archive.
