German artist Wolf Vostell moved to the little village of Malpartida de Cáceres in Extremadura with his family in the mid 1970s. There, in the middle of a primal natural landscape, he founded a contemporary art museum in association with the local inhabitants, making Malpartida the first Fluxus village. In a tribute to Vostell on what would have been his 80th birthday, the artists from the Fluxus group have returned to Malpartida after many years.
