"During the preparations, I felt something was lacking. So a couple of weeks before the exhibition opened, I invited, against Vostell's wishes, the Viennese actionists - Gunter Brus, Muhl, and Nitsch - to add some spice to what was in danger of becoming a reunion of veterans. It was the first public appearance of the Viennese and they took full advantage of the opportunity. Their spaces were filled with documents concerning the "Art and Revolution" event at the University of Vienna which was followed by a trial." - Harald Szeemann in interview with Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artforum International, 11/1/1996, http://umintermediai501.blogspot.com.au/2008/01/mind-over-matter-interview-with-harald.html, accessed 24/8/2015

"It was all very messy. Vostell who had a pregnant cow in his environment was forbidden by the Veterinary Institute to let her give birth. So he wanted to cancel the show. But finally after a night of discussion we decided to open. Since the exhibition was upsetting the authorities, it had to open and stay open." -Harald Szeemann in interview with Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artforum International, 11/1/1996,

Fluxus Concert, performed by Wolf Vostell, Bertold Brecht and others, Happenings & Fluxus exhibition, 1970
Joseph Beuys, Untitled, Tate London, 1970
(The artwork that Beuys contributed to Happenings & Fluxus is undocumented, likely becuase he was not included in the initial list of artists)
"Beuys was not in the show, but of course he came knocking on the museum's door in the name of his "East-West Fluxus."" - Harald Szeemann in interview with Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artforum International, 11/1/1996,
