Download or read book Joseph Beuys written by Claudia Mesch and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2017-04-15 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph Beuys is one of the most important and controversial German artists of the late twentieth century, an artist whose persona and art is so tightly interwoven with Germany’s fascist past—Beuys was, after all, a former soldier in the Third Reich—that he has been a problematic figure for postwar and post-reunification Germany. In illuminating the centrality of trauma and the sustained investigation of the notion of art as the two defining threads in Beuys's life and art, this book offers a critical biography that deepens our understanding of his many works and their contribution. Claudia Mesch analyzes the aspects of Beuys’s works that have most offended audiences, especially the self-woven legend of redemption that many have felt was a dubious and inappropriate fantasy for a former Nazi soldier to engage. As she argues, however, Beuys’s self-mythology confronted post-traumatic life head on, foregrounding a struggle for psychic recovery. Following Beuys’s exhibitions in the 1970s, she traces how he both expanded the art world beyond the established regional centers and paved the way for future artists interested in activism-as-art. Exploring Beuys’s expansive conceptions of what art is and following him into the realms of science, politics, and spirituality, Mesch ultimately demonstrates the ways that his own myth-making acted as a positive force in the Germany’s postwar reckoning with its past.

Book excerpt: Joseph Beuys’s work continues to influence and inspire practitioners and thinkers all over the world, in areas from organizational learning, direct democracy and new money forms to new art pedagogies and ecological art practices. Here, in dialogue with Volker Harlan - a close colleague, whose own work also revolves around understandings of substance and sacrament that are central to Beuys - the deeper motivations and insights underlying ‘social sculpture’, Beuys’s expanded conception of art, are illuminated. His profound reflections, complemented with insightful essays by Volker Harlan, give a sense of the interconnectedness between all life forms, and the foundations of a path towards an ecologically sustainable future. This volume features over 40 b/w illustrations.

Book Synopsis The Essential Joseph Beuys by : Alain Borer
Download or read book The Essential Joseph Beuys written by Alain Borer and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrates the forty-year oeuvre of one of the most important and influential visual artists of the postwar era Subject to passionate controversy during his lifetime, the work of Joseph Beuys is now considered one of the most significant and influential contributions to twentieth-century fine arts. The Essential Joseph Beuys locates the artist’s oeuvre as he saw it: part of a larger, philosophically based practice emphasizing direct democracy, free access to education, and the restructuring of society to meet ecological requirements. A total of 152 works from Beuys’s many fields of activity—drawings and watercolors, prints and multiples, sculptures and objects, spaces and happenings—arranged in chronological order demonstrate the artist’s formal versatility, creative richness, and conceptual depth. The peculiar poetry of the materials Beuys used—felt, grease, honey, wax, copper, and sulfur—emerges along with the gentle melancholy that suffuses the work. Alain Borer analyzes the world of Beuys’s thoughts and imagination with special reference to the artist’s written and spoken statements. This survey is an essential introduction to the work and conceptual world of Joseph Beuys that will appeal to anyone interested in twentieth-century art.

Book Synopsis Joseph Beuys: Greetings from the Eurasian by : Joseph Beuys
Download or read book Joseph Beuys: Greetings from the Eurasian written by Joseph Beuys and published by Walther Konig Verlag. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph Beuys was captivated by Eurasia, the vast expanse connecting East and West. Through drawings, sculptures, installations, performances, films and multiples, Beuys sought to imagine the fluid contours of Eurasia, a space built upon history and myths yet firmly grounded in the present.The exhibition, Joseph Beuys: Greetings from the Eurasian - and this accompanying publication - seek simultaneously to consider Beuys' activities in Antwerp during the 1960s and '70s, alongside considering his relevance to a new generation.This book takes Beuys' 1968 Eurasienstab action, performed with Henning Christiansen at the Wide White Space Gallery in Antwerp, as a starting point for a reflection on territories, real and imagined. It is through Beuys' connections to the Wide White Space that he first met fellow artists Marcel Broodthaers and James Lee Byars.Beuys worked in a way that was contrary to the logic and hegemony of Modernism. He was in a sense the embodiment of the anti-Modern. Beuys' use of the notion of 'Eurasia' was part of his Anti-Modern sentiment, looking away from the grand-narrative and hegemony of the 'West', and towards a vision of affinity with the 'East', to the point of even removing such distinctions.It was a vision that was more attuned to cultural depth, mysticism and to nature. This was also echoed in his political engagement, with an approach to politics though a belief in discursivity, latent energy and direct action.Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Joseph Beuys: Greetings from the Eurasian at M HKA, Antwerp (13 October 2017 - 21 January 2018).
Download or read book Beuys & Duchamp written by Hans Dickel and published by Hatje Cantz. This book was released on 2021-10-04 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Points of overlap and contention between two avant-garde visionaries In conversations and interviews, Joseph Beuys (1921-86) alluded to Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) more than to any other artist. And hardly anyone else seems to have challenged his work and his thought more than this artist from the previous generation. Direct evidence of this complex tension is his oft-cited action The Silence of Marcel Duchamp is Overratedfrom 1964, through which Beuys attempted to shift focus onto the political and social dimensions of his concept of expanded art. The associations and connections between the artists go deep. Both used similar radical strategies to rejuvenate the concept of art and the role of art in everyday life; their questions had a number of aspects in common. This fully illustrated catalog is the first to undertake a profound exploration of this multilayered relationship, while investigating both artists' future-oriented potential.
Book Synopsis Joseph Beuys and the Celtic Wor(l)d by : Victoria Walters
Download or read book Joseph Beuys and the Celtic Wor(l)d written by Victoria Walters and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2012 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1970s, the German sculptor Joseph Beuys made a number of trips to Ireland and Scotland. This interdisciplinary study of the artist's work in the "Celtic world" assesses whether the practice shown or developed during these visits could be seen, in any sense, as a language practice - more specifically, as a "language of healing" - and whether Beuys could be said to have interpreted and performed notions of "Celticity" in these places. The book reflects on the anthropological aspect of Beuys' work and includes interview material with artists who worked with or met him during this time.
