In 1965, Fluxus founder George Maciunas invited me to to join Fluxus, and in 1966, as part of an avant-garde art documentation and object-collecting trip to Europe, I joined Dick Higgins, Alison Knowles, Milan Knizak and Ben (Vautier), performing in a Fluxfest in Prague.

After five years (1965-70), during which I collected more than 2,000 pieces of avant-garde documentation, objects and "ephemera" for my students to handle and enjoy stopped—to devote myself to writing books, photography, and a lot more travel. The heart of my collection, "Aktual Art International," was exhibited at the Stanford Art Gallery (breaking all attendance records), and at the San Francisco Museum of Art, in 1967; and later sold to the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, in 1989, to form part of the "In the Spirit of Fluxus" traveling exhibition—and now in their permanent collection.

“Jeff Berner is back on the stage.
 He sold his collection to the Walker, giving importance to a Fluxus concert in Prague in 1964 which had no importance. Jeff Berner blows up his importance, 
but every body does that and nobody understands that nobody is important because human.”
