Abstract
This article offers the first comprehensive reconstruction of two concert evenings in 1966 that brought Fluxus and Zaj together for the first time to perform at the renowned Galerie Block in Berlin, thanks to Wolf Vostell’s mediation. Drawing on research from major archives—including Archive Sohm (Staatsgalerie Stuttgart) and Archivo Happening Vostell (Museo Vostell Malpartida, Spain)—as well as interviews with some of its key performers, this paper reconstructs the programs of both concerts, highlighting the major performers: Dick Higgins and Alison Knowles on the Fluxus side, and Juan Hidalgo and Tomás Marco on the Zaj side. Additionally, the paper examines Wolf Vostell’s role as mediator and its significance.
