On June 07, FLUX-tours came to the forecourt of the Pommersches Landesmuseum in Greifswald. Heat, low well water, interested active children, Friedrich’s painting puzzle and an area of radiant stones were already there…
dust mob-aquarells were drawn a lot and many passers-by perpetuated themselves on the romantic travel typewriter…
On May 23, the stationary FLUX-tours travel agency went to Stralsund. Heat and rainstorms, cellular concrete and duct tape, typewriter and brush-armour – all this was involved at Neuer Markt…
On May 16 the stationary FLUX-tours travel agency came to Stadthafen Rostock and captured all that was to be captured.
On May 8 the ambulant FLUX-tours travel agency stopped at the “Goatmarket” [Ziegenmarkt] Schwerin (without a goat!) and on May 9 in the quarter Großer Dreesch, both stations in Schwerin. Red buckets, traces of glue and chalk were scattered everywhere. Brush-armour mingled gay colours and rain water, and the trailers resisted 2 thunderbolts.

Visitor, on entering the musuem…
… let your eyes become butterflies.
Follow them. Use camera, pen and paper
for that. Be clumsy. Act without looking first.
Be taken by surpise.

FLUX-tours in Klein-Amerika
Klein Amerika is a district of Brüsewitz near the Schwerin and not to be overlooked as such today. A place-name sign flaunts where there was sky only beforehand.
How did America come here and became so small? A pond was what the inhabitants of the northern district had to cross. And over the “big pond” lies – this is well-known to everybody – America.
Between the village centre of Brüsewitz and the northern district there is a well. From time to time it fills with water. A jolly-romantic idea of the house owners across the temporary water area named the district Little America [Klein Amerika], by now officially. A friendly local resident told that. FLUX-tours brought FLUXUS from big America to Klein Amerika for a few hours.
Ben Patterson celebrated his 80th birthday. First of all, he was celebrated. Bill Dietz (artistic head of the ensemble Zwischentöne) and Christian Kesten (Maulwerker) set a worthy frame. The concert programme compiled by them sported the motto “Benjamin Patterson. Sneak Preview” and gave a captivating panorama about the creative work of this amiable and roguish FLUXUS rebel. FLUX-tours was there – and was as keen as mustard.
