The Doubt Foundation has a number of facets. It is, of course, a location where major works from this highly active 60-70 period are on display: more than 40 artists covering two floors, and some 300 Fluxus works, documents, archives, and videos, but also from the period "para and post Fluxus,” as Ben puts it, which are from his own personal collection and from the “connectedness” among artists & collectors such as Gino Di Maggio.

This is also a living facility, a reservoir of ideas, a space for self-expression, questioning about art, its limits or boundaries.

Designed by Ben, the Doubt Courtyard is the site's monumental entrance; it is also an area for event programming and dissemination. Le Fluxus, the coffee shop Ben designed, is the Foundation's restaurant and convivial core: open to the most varied forms of artistic expression, it hosts gatherings and debates that ensure the site's vital spark.

The Doubt Foundation is a singular location where art, as Robert Filliou stated, should make life more interesting than art.
