    Ich versuche dich freizulassen (machen) (I am trying to set (make) you free) is a recording on cassette of the eponymous Fluxus concert by Joseph Beuys and Henning Christiansen. The latter took place during the opening of the Blockade '69' group exhibition at Galerie René Block in Berlin, which included work by Panamarenko and Bernd Lohaus. During the action, Beuys and Christiansen covered a music stand with sauerkraut in order to arrive at a 'sauerkraut score'.
